CLOTHING! I have always been heavy but most of my weight gain is more recent. I really look forward to fitting into some of my old clothes. I have donated a lot of smaller things but there are quite a few pieces I kept. I also had to buy some bigger clothing throughout the year to hold me over. I can't wait to donate it all! And although it's always a struggle in the clothing stores, I can not wait for the day I no longer need to find the "plus size" section (or should I say the few racks shoved in the corner with no signage).

Not snoring on a plane when I fall asleep.
Being able to go to the pool with my daughter without a shirt.
Never again hearing "What's up Big D."

My list goes on and on. Being able to wear old clothes and my wedding ring to start. Going up the stairs and not being in pain. Running around with my grandkids. Not dreading going somewhere and running into an old friend and seeing the look on their face when they see you. Most of all my health. I just want to be here for a long time living a very healthy life.

I went To the fair with my son last weekend and so my first goal is to be able to fit on a ride with him it was embarrassing trying to get on a ride with him and they tell me I don't fit and had to get off which he had to 2 because it was only double Riders no single Riders

I want to go horse back riding!

Yes! I was always afraid of breaking a horses back.

Painting my toe nails!!!

Wearing shorts.

Wearing overalls! (Sounds crazy but I've always wanted to wear bibs... but I can't pull off the look heavy).

Getting off my medication.

Having a chance to start a family.

Not feeling like a stuffed sausage!

Not seeing my double chin in every pic.

Not wanting to hide from family I haven't seen in awhile! I live states away from most family and every time I see them, I feel the need to pre-warn them before they arrive that I'm fat. I have a very vocal family and they like to mention things I already know. I can't wait to WANT to visit family and not try to hide behind my husband or tables!

Omg overalls!!! My husband ADORED how I looked in overalls (when I was 13 to 15 before I got big). He's expressed missing it and wanting me to get another pair, but not only do they not make sizes big enough for me, but I know it will look horrible on my current body shape and would just be a disappointment for him.

I'm looking forward to taking a real family photo where I'm not holding my kids up in front of me like little hostages, trying to hide my fat. I'm also looking forward to not being hung up on if people will like me or not because of my size.....I can't imagine what either one of those things will feel like.

I'm a month post-op and I've been really enjoying the clothes so far! Can't wait to have even more choices!

My longer term "looking forward to it" goal is to join my husband's company soccer team. It seems like a lot of fun but I need to get into pretty decent shape to do that kind of running! I'm planning on doing Couch to 5K to prepare.

Return to my athletic desires. I love sports but my weight and pain has kept me from doing. I don't wanna be a bench warmer any more. Put me in coach!

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that my sleep apnea will get better and I won't need a CPAP anymore. That alone would make the surgery worth it, but also looking forward to clothes like so many of us -- and shoes! I hear it's common for feet to "shrink" because they're not being pushed to the limit. I've always had wide feet but the past few years, definitely feel they've gotten even wider.

Clothes and fitting into regular chairs and airline seats!. Mostly the airline seats. I have so much traveling I want to do and I'm sick of my weight holding me back.
