I can walk through an amusment park with my kids without running out of breath.

I can shop in the "misses" section and not have to search for the "women's" section, usually in the back corners of the stores.

I can learn to eat to live and not live to eat.

My list can go on and on but I'l stop at three.

It means a healthier life style for me.:thumbup:

It means being appreciated AND respected for what you say because people aren't too preoccupied by how you look.....

It means no longer being invisible.

:thumbup:.......What it means to me is that I will look the way I feel in the inside...:eek:

1) It means I won't have to take my blood pressure medicine anymore.

2) It means my back will hurt less.

3) It means I will be able to run again.

4) It means I will be able to shop in the misses section for the first time in 10 years.

5) It means that I won't feel like the fattest person in the room.

6) It means I will be able to coach my kids' soccer team.

7) It means I will feel sexy again.

8) It means people won't think I'm lazy just because of my weight.

Okay...I think that is more than you were looking for but I feel they are all equally important.
