Ok ladies…I have thought about this so many times, so just thought I’d share with you below the things I would like to do once I have gotten to my goal weight.

• Be able to shop in ANY shop I want and not have to make sure they go to plus sizes.
  
• Eat out at restaurants and not have people give me the look thinking “she doesn’t need any more food to eat”
  
• Not to have to look out for and make sure the chair I want to sit it doesn’t have arms
  
• Not need a extension belt on an a plane and to fit comfortably in the seat
  
• Get into a bikini and not have to settle for a swimming costume to hide my lumps and bumps
  
• To be able to cross my legs!!!
  
• Not be the biggest person when going out with friends or family.
  
• Run around after my nephews and not get tired or be in pain after 30 seconds
  
• Fit into rides at a theme park
  
• Go horse riding (and not be told im to heavy for the horse)
  
• Lastly stick two fingers up to anyone that doubted me or told me I couldn’t do it! Lol
  

How about you ladies…….?

To be able to bend down at the knees to pick something up off the floor instead of holding onto something and putting 1 leg out for balance as I bend over.:thumbup:

I want to be thinner than each of my four sisters were at their weddings. I am the oldest in my family and have four skinny sisters, and at their weddings they all weighed within one pound of each other. My goal weight is to be 2 pounds less than they were (they were 137-138, my goal is 135).

Also

-Not feel like every functional guy I meet is out of my league b/c of my weight

-Buy clothes b/c I need and love them, not b/c they fit

-Cross my legs effortlessly

-Have my old friends not recognize

-Be HEALTHY

So I've been thinking about this alot....here are my major three....

1. Be able to get outta the shower and wrap a regular towel around me instead of the bath sheet that is almost as tall as I am!!!

2. To shop in a store without a PLUS size section, and buy clothes without a "W" in the size!!!

3. To be able to sit down and not feel like I have to cover or hide my bulging stomach

and not on the list...but what I think I look forward to the MOST......seeing my face in the mirror the way I remember it!!!

1. Be able to get outta the shower and wrap a regular towel around me instead of the bath sheet that is almost as tall as I am!!!

Amen, and I say again, Amen!!!!!

:thumbup:i want to go roller bladding in a bikini in miami beach, wooh hoooo

Besides the obvious buy clothes in a normal store in normal sizes, I'd like to be secure enough to go to a nudist resort.

LOL, I don't think I'll ever be that secure!!

I second that, but it does sound fun!!

wooh hooo.......take me along....hahaha

LOL, clearly we all have body image issues and I envy those that can strip all the outside "junk", be completely naked both figuratively and literally and be ok with it. No judging or being judged. Although, I can't see it now because when I look in the mirror I seen the stretch marks, jelly rolls and all the other flaws, they don't see it that way. They accept you for who you are, not how you look or what you do. Seems like the perfect end to this journey for me.

i would love to be able to run, jump, play, rollerskate, do silly things, with out other people looking at me and making a rude comment.

i have always been a big girl, and when i was younger i didnt do those things because when i did, i would be ragged on very hard.

now that im older i still want to do those things with my bf

go to the park and fit my butt on the swing, (i can only swing for 10-15 mins before my butt hurts like the dickens!)

id like to sit on his lap with out crushing him.

i want to fit into a seat better, i want to put on a tank top and not feel bad that my arms are showing.

id also like to know why people look at me, if they still do it when im thinner, well at least i will know its not cause im a big girl walking down the street.

sometimes i dont eat a lot because well im not hungry, and when friends and friends of friends and i go out to eat, the friends of friends look suprised that im not scarfing my face. id like that to stop.

if i think of more ill post

thanx for listing.
