    Today I wore a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear in eight years. I got so few wearings out of them that they still look new. That'll do for a start (I'm a month postop tomorrow).

and never getting fat again

My long term goal is to be able to shop in the same stores as my daughter when she gets to be a teen. She's almost two, so it's a very long term goal!

Near term, I want to be able to ride roller coasters, get scuba certified and dive with my husband, and not have to use a seatbelt extender on the airplane.

I would love to take horseback riding lessons without fear of hurting the horse. Most of all I would just like to be able to walk without using my cane.

I have so many goals,

first not to having to sit to catch my breath ever time I go up a flights of stairs.

Being able to walk in heels.

Being able to fit in a plan Seat without being so uncomfortable.

most of all loving myself and being healthy.

My goal is to be able to run. I want to be able to do marathons with my boyfriend. That's my number 1. But I have some of the same as you like;

-never having to switch chairs because I can't fit

-being able to to walk a distance without huffing and puffing

-Fitting into my old clothes

- Being able to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see.

When I started my bariatric process last June I was wearing 6xl shirts.

I'm now buying and wearing 2xl shirts.

By the Fall, I'd ove to make good on my threat to my son and raid his closet for a couple cool 1x shirts he owns.

I love this post! I've been keeping a list actually.

1. Take a surfing lesson

2. Take a dance class.

3. Go paddle boarding in hawaii.

4. Shop with girlfriends

5. Not feel like my belly has a life of its own!

My goals are similar to everyone else's... Be able to fit comfortably at a booth, able to ride roller coasters again, lose the weight I need to in order to have abdominal hernia surgery and removal of excess belly apron. That's my biggest goal, I've had a hanging belly all my adult life & can't wait to get rid of it forever!!

I made a list from A to Z of what my long term goals and wishes are. Airplane seats all the way to zip lining! Some interesting ones that make me laugh, and one or two that made me cry. But basically I want a healthier body to live the rest of my life enjoying instead of hating each lump and roll.

Love reading these posts and the before/after photos, so inspiring!

I have reached a lot of NSV that I never thought about before. Sitting curled up, fitting in the middle seat of the car, comfortably fitting in benches and chairs when out with hubby, crossing legs, sitting with knees to chest, painting toes, wearing "regular" clothes, buying a form fitted dress, wearing heels without feeling like my feet will fall off,

I have a few that I am happy about being able to do soon.

*** Sitting on a chair without my arms folded in front of me to hide my flubbers.

*** Being comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit to the beach.

*** Not being so insecure that I need a jacket everywhere I go to hide my body.

*** My back, ankle and knee not hurting anymore.

*** Taking a crazy amount of pictures at places I go to.

I'm tired of being ashamed of my appearance... Good luck to everyone!
