Soo many great responses on this post and if you notice most if not all of them relate to quality of life which is great.

some of my favs so far are:

Walking down the plane isle

fitting through turnstiles

shopping at non-big and tall stores..

And winning the lottery :)

Me personally I am looking forward to:

  • shopping at non-big and tall stores
  • not having to move the drivers seat so far back to accommodate my beer belly.
  • being able to move my chair up closer to a table, without bumping or shifting the entire table for everyone else..

Being able to wear more than just yoga pants to all my kids activities on the weekends

Looking 33 and not 45 (I am 33 and don't look it because of my weight).

Traveling to other countries with confidence

Being able to shop for clothes any where and not having to ask if they have a plus size section. Not having to worry about fitting in a chair comfortably or a booth in a restaurant.

What are you looking forward to

Being able to bend over and not have my pants roll down because of my stomach. Also, to be able to look in the mirror and not hate what I see.

More active years with my little girl

More active nights in bed with my wife ;)

More times not feeling scared of booths, shopping malls, shoes coming untied

More opportunities to be included with friends and co workers

Packing for a two day trip in only a carry on

Swimming without a tshirt

Breathing while climbing stairs

In short, living on the outside, the way I feel on the inside.

Crossing my legs, have never done that comfortably or for very long. Seeing my kids have grandkids and hopefully living a longer happier life with my love my husband. Oh and dancing again, I love to dance and feeling good in my own skin never really have

Keep up with my 3 year old

Feeling sexy and confident again. Remind my husband ????

Shoulder tattoo is on my to do list to!!

Not having constant hip and back pain! I took the kids trick or treating last night and I'm really sore and stiff today.

I also booked a trip to the Bahamas for the end of May, my surgery is December 1st. I can't wait to not feel squished on the plane and actually wear SHORTS for once!
