Dreams and Aspirations

[lapbandgirl4life 0]

I think many of us can relate to the pain that obesity has caused. For me, it made me self-conscious to the point that I alienated myself from friends, and soon, they just stopped inviting me places and I drifted deeper into my addiction with food. I'm ready to change all that.

I am 32 and my entire life sits before me and frankly, I'm beyond fed up with living vicariously through someone else's life. I'm sick and tired of hearing about someone's trip abroad or sky diving adventure. I want to be the one telling those stories, which brings me to the topic of this thread...

Here are some of mine. I'll continue adding as I think of them.

Jog with my 13 yr old son.

GO to disney world with my son.

Get certified and go scuba diving.

Tandem Sky diving.

Try out snowboarding.

Travel, travel, travel.

Run a marathon.

Sing kareoke in front of a crowd full of strangers.

Lay in a hammock under the tropical sun.

Run with the bulls in Spain.

What are your dreams?
