starting over, almost 40, 320 lbs, the heaviest I’ve ever been

Life Goals

These are things that I want to do, some big, some small - some that may seem like nothing to people who are smaller and take things like this for granted - that my weight is getting in the way of.

I want to:

–  fit in a movie theater seat without a contortionist act
–  get up off the couch on the first try
–  cross my legs without pulling one up
–  tie my own shoes, without having to pull my leg up
–  get out of the bathtub without help
–  want to stop being afraid of when I go down stairs

–  go clothes shopping and buy something that is not the biggest size there
–  buy something cute at a thrift store

–  I want to wear high heels again

–  have enough energy to get a part time job
–  be thin enough to donate plasma

–  finish the grocery shopping without a backache and my feet killing me
–  go for a hike
–  swim in a lake

– have one chin
– want to be in photograph instead of avoiding them

–  ride a roller coaster again
–  ride a horse
–  drive a car again

Dreams that have come true:

–  ride a bike (still a lot of work, but I’m doing it!)
–  go overnight camping
–  swim in public again
–  swim in a river (it was thrilling!)
–  go on a cave tour (It was really cool,  but hard!)
–  sleep laying down again!  (it is wonderful, I am so proud of me!)
–  improvement in acid reflux (I am happy about this)
