"When I finally lose the weight I am excited to...."

Some fun while we wait for our turn? Why not!? ;)

Complete the sentence! What are you excited to finally be able to do or redo?

Everyone has great answers but on the lighter side... Being able to bend over and painting my toenails!

Shop for clothes ANYWHERE. Wear a bathing suit and feel comfortable. Go to the beach. My kids are about to be 7 and 4 and we haven't ever been to the beach because I've never felt comfortable enough. Squeeze behind chairs and not have my belly touch the chair. Have a thigh gap! Lol. More energy. I could type all day.

There's just SO many things, LOL. When you stop to really think about it, being obese really messes up a lot of things.

You guys hit on so many!!

I'll finaly get rid of my "fat" clothes - I have so many sizes for when the weight came back each time I've failed a diet.

To eat around others without feeling like peole might be paying attention to what I eat.

Not to be on the sidelines when others are having fun, when it's little go carts, bumper boats, etc.

Wear some sexy clothes for my DH and actually feel sexy, :rolleyes:

Besides all the other things that everyone has stated, I can't wait to take a shower and be able to reach every where I want and need to without having to sit down afterwards for 15 minutes to catch my breath. I used to love showering, and for the last 30 pounds I dread it every day.

I am looking forward to being able to bend over and polish my toenails without cutting off my air supply, going on all day shopping adventures with my mom without having to sit down every 20 minutes, actually believing my husband when he tells me every day that I'm beautiful, sitting in an airplane seat comfortably, not feeling like an elephant next to all my size 0-2 girlfriends, working out without feeling like I'm literally going to die, going on fabulous beach vacations without feeling like a beached whale and finally being able to feel like I'm worthy of my husband showing me off.

I totally agree with you on this one!

Will be excited to...

Not have a racing heart, sweat profusely, get super tired and fear that I'm about to have a heart attack just from exerting a small amount of energy.

Do things with my 7 year old that are typically uncomfortable or embarrassing (jump on trampoline, ride a bike, swim, etc.)

Buy cuter clothing in smaller size.

Love this topic! I'll try not to repeat too many things already listed.

~Feel comfortable in my own skin

~Go dancing

~Actually go to the bar where the dancing is happening

~Cross my legs comfortably

~Wear cool boots that actually fit my calves

~Run a marathon

~Wear a bathing suit in public

~Wear a pair of beautiful heels without fear of breaking the heel or a body part

~Wear a skirt

~Getting a haircut without worrying about how fat my face will look

Shop for new clothes, travel more, and start dating. :)

Probably being able to walk into a shop and not worry about if they do my size or not and also going to the movies/cinema and not having the pain in my hips/thighs from where the seats are too small! (In the UK they're too small for me) That's definitely my main challenge at the moment haha.

Take salsa lessons and shop for cute clothes! Also, wear high heels without having to take them off a few minutes later.

Actually see my collarbones.

Oh, and to not be so fat that I am the last person left to get a seatmate on the blue line. I always feel like people are all like oh.. that seat is open because she is so fat. Not for long!
