Default Things to look forward to as we lose weight!!

Alright I have looked everywhere for a thread that was posted around October with everyone listing serveral things they can not wait for as they lose weight. I loved that thread I read it like 4 times a day, but now I can't find it so I decided to start a new one. List things about your body, mind, emotional changes that you can't wait to happen as we obtain our goals!!!

So come on gals and guys lets start write them down!!!

These are a few of mind

1. Can't wait to weight less then DH
2. Go shopping in normal size sections at stores
3. Tie my shoes comfortably, and have the tie in the middle not on side
3. Fit into my wedding ring
4. Fit into my necklace and not have to get longer chains so the thing does not look like a choker
5. be in onederland
6. be able to run a triathlon
7. be healthy enough to get back to a regular menstral cycle
8. have sexy calfs
9. have a healthy size 30 inch waist and not be pre-diabetic
10. not havve to roll out of bed, be able to sit up and get off properly
11. be able to run with my son and not sit on side because I am embarrased a my fat jiggling.
12. Be able to stand comfortable next to my 7, 5' 9", 120 pounds SIL
13. Have my hubby be able to pick me up and carry me to be (I miss this)
14. Having my self image catch up and realize I am beautiful now.


Ok so there is so much more but here are just a few.......

Goodness...so many!

1. Not be known as the "fat sister"
2. Say bye-bye to fat stores
3. Feel like when I walk into a room people aren't staring at me because I'm so fat; they stare because I'm so hot!
4. Feel comfortable in my own skin.
5. Amen on the regular periods!
6. Find a fella that I am not "settling" for.
7. Walk and talk without getting winded!

That's just a few...there are so many. I'm so ready to be healthy!

It sounds so small, but I am thrilled how easy it is to cut my toenails. It used to be such an ordeal -red-faced and feeling cut in the middle. It's a breeze now!

Getting on a plane and not having to twist sideways to fit down the aisle. And not worrying about 'overlapping' into the seat next to me.

Not fearing lawn chairs, restaurant booths, seatbelts, and airplanes
Shopping in the Misses sizes
Seeing evidence of bones in my body
Being seen as a woman and not as a blob

I did this in my journal a few weeks ago.

1) To wear my wedding band again (its been two years).
2) To have a better sex life with hubby (karma sutra)
3) To buy clothes that are under size 18.
4) To buy cute matching bra and panties
5) I want to be more successful in my business (like it or not weight = some discrimination)
6) I want to wrap only one bath towel around me at a time.
7) I want my boobs to come into the room before my belly.
8) Be able to play more physically active with my kids.
9) To be able to wear my hubby's sweat or t shirts.
10) To be in onederland
11) not cringe when I do swimsuit shopping

That is a start I come up with new ones each day!

Right now I'm most enjoying the fact that I feel more outgoing and confident.. so I'm perceiving people around me in a friendlier way and having conversations with strangers when I used to avoid eye contact. It's partly me being pumped about spring too.

There are a million right now including pretty much everything listed before me. But I think my favorite thing is just being completely average. I don't think you can overestimate the joy in being average, of just blending into the crowd.

Not having strangers stare at you or even not having someone you hardly know commenting on how fat you are.

In no particular order:

Seeing my feet in the shower

Sitting on the toilet w/o it shifting

Taking the tags off the clothes in my closet that are dying to be worn

Wearing skirts that arent shorter in the rear because of my big butt.

Thighs that wont chaffe
