I have so many! I can't wait to:

-Shop at the regular-size stores

-Not have to wear pants and a sweater in the summer just to "cover" all my fat

-Not be worried about whether a chair is going to hold me

-go back to Cedar Point and ride all the coasters (The single most embarrassing moment of my life was when I couldn't get the seat belt to latch on the Millenium Force and had to get out of the ride and leave with hundreds of people watching me).

Best of luck to everyone! I can't wait to get these items checked off my WLS goal list.

So many things...

It will be incredible to be able to clothes shop anywhere I want. I hate being limited to such a small array of mostly ugly plus size clothes.

I really look forward to going to an amusement park with my hubby and not worrying that we won't fit on a ride. We have a great amusement park in our city but we've never been there together.

I am looking forward to just feeling better and not being in anymore pain when I walk. I am also looking forward to being able to spend time with my children and being able to keep up with there activities without being tired all the time.

Looking forward to buying clothes that I actually like and fit well instead of what just fits me.

Not sweating

Actually wanting to get a family picture done with my boys and husband before they grow up.

Crossing my legs.

Enjoying sex like we used to before we had our sons!

Lots more but could go on for pages!!

So many things...

  • Of course, being able to wear all the clothes I have that no longer fit
  • Not having to wear a sweater/sleeved top year-round to cover my arms
  • Wearing a bathing suit in front of people, ideally one that isn't a grandma-style swimdress
  • Being able to hike with my dogs or walk around at a museum or festival without crippling back pain
  • Not feeling like I have to hold a throw pillow on my lap to cover my belly fat when I'm sitting on a couch or something in front of people
  • Being able to get up off the floor more easily; I like to sit on the floor!
  • Not worrying about breaking a chair or step stool
  • Not being flushed and sweaty all the freakin' time, and not constantly worrying that I smell because of it
  • Being able to start dancing again, whether it's taking a modern dance class or going swing dancing with my husband, or just goofing around with friends
  • Feeling like I can sit on my husband's lap or have him pick me up without hurting him
  • Feeling more attractive, maybe even... sexy?
  • Not panicking when I get a notification that someone has tagged me in a photo on Facebook
  • Being able to stop pretending that I don't want to join in on activities, when really I'm just too fat to keep up

I cant wait to shop at regular stores not stores with plus sizes only. Being able to chase my son when he runs and not feel tired. Being able to feel full. I haven't had that for a while.

-Being at my son's football games and practices without the subconscious thought that I'm the "fattest" mom

-ONEderland!!!!

-Buying my first dress from White House Black Market

-Transitioning to the "skinny" side of the store

-Burning my Lane Bryant card

-No more clothing size in the teens!

-Being more active with less pains (knee pain, back pain, shortness of breath)

-Not being so hot and sweaty in the upcoming Florida summer heat

And the list could continue for days.....
