Aside from you know living longer and being healthier and all that good stuff I’m sure we all have little things we have to look forward to. For example I would like to be able to go to theme parks again. I remember the last time clear as Day. July 2011 I went to Six Flags Great Adventures with my friends and brother. It was early in the day and I was on line for the Superman ride and I remember being next and trying to get on and the seat wouldn’t click twice & the guy had to tell me to get off. It was one of the worst feelings ever & ive never been to a park since. So as I chip away to my goal I’m looking forward to not being worried about if I fit or not. So what are some of your mini goals are highlights you are looking forward to?

I have had a series of small goals - most I've met so far but some I'm still working towards. Here are a few of mine:

1. weighing less than a linebacker before the 2017 NFL season started (done!)

2. being able to sit in chairs at work without worrying about breaking them (done!)

3. fastening the seatbelt on an airplane without needing an extender (done!)

4. buying pants in a 'normal' store instead of a plus size store (done!)

5. running a 5k, 10k and mini-marathon (still working on it...)

Getting off blood pressure medication. It happened about six weeks after WLS. It's not been more than three years since surgery. I've gained some weight back but still don't need blood pressure medication!
