What would you do if you weren't "big"?

I was just wondering if anyone looks at their life preband and says If I weren't so big I would LOVE to do such and such?

Here are a few things I would do IF I weren't so big:

Have more sex:tt1: (sure my husband would love that)

dress better

Not worry about sitting in a chair and breaking it

feel more comfortable in a bathing suit and not wear a tee shirt

hiking and camping

zip wire-where you zip over the jungle on a wire....you have to weigh under so much! :)

not worry that ppl are looking at me when I am eating a piece of pie and thinking "she sooo does not need that, fat ass"

What about everyone else?

OH TO WEAR PANTY HOSE WITHOUT THE SWISH SWISH SWISH RUBBING OF THE THIGHS BENEATH A DRESS!

ITS LIKE YOUR THIGHS ARE ANNOUNCING YOU BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THERE.....SOOOO EMBARRASSING!

i can't wait til my thighs aren't fighting each other every time i walk!

--to be able to walk for more than 5 mins before my lower back starts hurting.

--to not eventually note to myself in any group situation, that I'm bigger than EVERYONE else.

--to no longer feel like a huge square with no specific contouring.

--to feel pretty and sexy

--to go horseback riding on the beach in Hawaii (with the love of my life --once he finds me :lol:

--to ride in an airplane without asking for a seatbelt extender

--to go to school for web design while I'm working full time and not be so exhausted that i can't fully function at either.

--to ride a hot air balloon.

--to be comfortable in a swimsuit... I so love the beach and Water that I go no matter what I look like, but oh to actually feel good about it.

--to dance.

--to travel to Europe

--to be healthy

--to live...

We're really going to do all of these things, I know it. And I look forward to a new thread from all of us, checking off everything we've listed! :)

bend over and tie my shoes without feeling like I am squishing my lungs underneath my stomach and not being able to breathe!!!!

Running - feeling light and athletic and not like a fat cow plodding along embarrassed on another desperate, pathetic, destined to fail diet and exercise routine. I am REALLY a runner! Wow. Its what I wanted most of all, dont know why.

Wearing a bikini and tiny running shorts, that's a great feeling and one I wanted.

Just being able to shop anywhere, buy anything. YOu dont realise how little freedom you have clothing wise when you're bigger.

1: see my vagina lol I haven't see her in years

2: wear a thong and be able to see it

3: wear a swim suit

4: stay on top longer (if you know what I mean)

5: not be on a diet all the time

There are a few things and something just came up last Friday.

Our furnace wasn't working. DH was not home. In order to avoid a call and $$ for HVAC guy to fix it we tried to troubleshoot.

One answer I had to get was the power switch near the furnace, was it on or off?

I didn't even know there was a switch. If there is why in the world would it be off? The blower is in the attic. I've never even been up there.

So there I am puling down the attic stairs and looking at the flimsy looking ladder steps and raling. I see a big sticker on it stating that the weight limit is 250. Serious bodily injury, breaking the stairs or DEATH could occur!

YIKES!

I went up a few steps....ok, holding....holding....I was able to peer into the attic but I wasn't going to brave the final boost....or the first step down.

We ran into the local Hvac guy and he fixed it for free.

I haven't had one of those moments for a few years.

The last time was wondering how I was going to get out of a friends above ground pool....the flimsy aluminum ladder .......

I can't wait for the band!

I want to not worry about chairs, ladders, bikes,

Basicaly I dont want to have to look for the weight limit for something.

Oh and it will be nice to get into an elevator without looking at the maximum weight limit and trying to calculate if I throw the weight over the limit.
