I second so many of these already written (especially the crossing leg thing), and here's another for me...

-Finally be on stage without wondering if everyone was thinking such a "fatty" should just go sit down.

Things I want to be able to do:

1. Accept invitations from old friends (if I'd like to go) and not worry about my size first.

2. Get in a hot tub or pool during the day light hours.

3. Feeling comfortable in a regular seat when I fly.

4. Kayaking

5. Getting out of bed without hurting

6. Not needing my CPap machine (for Apnea) at night.

7. Not believing my weight is causing every problem that I have.

8. Wearing "normal" clothes.

9. Camping/Hiking trips in the mountains.

10. Thinking about the adventure first, not my lack of stamina.

11. Boob job, so that I'm not flat like I was when I was thin.

12. Being able to shop for things I like, not things that fit.

12. Growing old with my children, grandchildren, great grand children (hopefully).

Things I am looking forward to...

Cutting my toenails easily.

Comfortably sitting in a "cattle class" flight.

Wearing a suit, and looking GOOD in it.

Receive a compliment on my appearance that isn't along the lines of "You have really blue eyes"

Go to a fashionable clothes shop an buy clothes in sizes WAY below their largest size.

Regain the confidence (and maybe cockyness) that I used to have when I was slim.

Things I have been able to do thus far;

1) Cross my legs like a lady

2) Shop in regular size stores

3) Wear some rings that I havent been able to for years

4) Have a gap (and it is a huge gap now) between my belly and the steering wheel of my car

5) Have had regular cycles for the last 5 months

6) Can paint my own toe nails

7) Shave my legs without taking a half hour to do it!

Thing I still want to do

1) Be cleared for type 2 diabeties (I see my endo next month)

2) Have my Tummy Tuck

3) Get another tattoo after said tummy tuck, on my beautiful new belly

4) Get down to a size AU14 or US12

4. Not break out in a sweat from doing minor activities where no one else is sweating.

5. Get out of my low-ridin 35th Anniversary Edition Camaro easier.

6. To be comfortable completely and openly naked and lights blaring with my fiancee' instead of always trying to move an arm this way or a leg that way to try to look better and cover up my stomach or thighs etc.

7. To have smaller fingers to show off jewelry. (I got chubby man hands)

8. To be more comfortable when trying to shave in the bathtub.

      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.
