Having more energy

Having more children, and actually looking pregnant not just fatter

Having a slimmer face and looking (older) more my age

I'm looking forward to my 21-yr-old son's surprise at how good his mom looks when I pick him up at LAX, September 3. He's spent last year at the U of Dublin & has been traipsing around Europe all summer so he hasn't seen me for awhile.

Okay, I think I have a few. I am looking forward to:

getting a Tummy Tuck so I, too, can see the vagina that's down there somewhere and so I can see to shave my bikini area when I put on a real bathing suit, not one with shorts attached!

being able to do a handstand against the wall in my living room. There's a perfect spot, right there, just begging to be leaned up against. I actually tried it last night but can't get my big butt up enough to heave my legs, ug, grunt, moan, OH! the pain in my wrists!!!! so I'm looking forward to having less weight and enough strength to be able to do that. Not gymnastics, not even a cartwheel, just a handstand against the wall is all I ask!!

I'm looking forward to feeling good about myself again, fitting into my clothes without them pinching me back and getting control of eating!

Having a slimmer face and looking (older) more my age

I've been thinking about this. Why do you want to look older? One of the things I have seen over and over and over from the before and after pix is that when people get closer to their goal they look younger and younger. It is as if Fat ages the face. I'm sure it ages the body, all the extra stress...

Gosh...there are so many things I want to do. I want to start roller skating again. The last time I went, I was so afraid I was going to fall and hurt myself..or worse yet, hurt one of my kids or someone else's that I just didn't have a good time.

Wear a killer little red dress with some red stillettos that I am saving for just such a situation.

Shave my bikini area without having to use 3 different mirrors angled just the right way. God if anybody was to see me doing that...the embarrassment would make me just melt down the drain. (I will apologize in advance for any nausea that might result from this mental picture. ) lol

The cessation of all that rubbing and chafing.

I will morn the loss of my DDs, but will console myself with a pretty, dainty bra from Victoria's. Don't worry I will give a little toot of my horn to Lane Bryants as I pass. Yes, those sale's ladies will be crying in their hankies at the loss of income. Go ahead and cry, I won't be back...lol. ;-)

Weighing less than my DH.

Weighing less than my dog...lol..ok..ok..I just threw that in just to see if you were still paying attention. The dog is steady at 80 pounds...that is not where I will end up.

There are just too many to list!!!

I think what I am looking foward to most is.. being able to see my reflection in a passing mirror or window and nodd in acceptance of how I look versus trying to adjust my clothes to better disguise my body.

One thing that I am looking forward to, is being able to swing my golf clubs like a golfer! Not a caveman! There are MANY more things to look forward to, but this is what comes to mind right now because I'm Jonesin' to play some golf. I haven't played in over a month because of surgery!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
