Cool The silly things you can't wait for....

So, I was thinking today about all the things I'm excited to FINALLY be able to do again, once I lose these 100lbs holding me back...

1. sit with my legs crossed- WITHOUT having to actually hold my leg up.
2. Get out of the shower, and wrap a "normal" sized bath towel ALL THE WAY around... not just held at the top, while the sides flap open. This might sound weird, but it's one of the biggest motivators for me! I want that towel to cover EVERYTHING.
3. For my bellybutton ring to look good again... you know.. like it did when I got it five years ago.
4. To buy lingerie to wear for my husband.. and KNOW i look good in it.
5. To wear shorts. The real kind, not the ones that go just past the knee.



So, ladies... what are some of the non-scale silly little things you're looking forward to most?

1. I too want the normal sized towel!
2. Being able to wear cute clothes and not having to shop in the plus size section. Especially the PINK line by Victoria's Secret.
3. Not having the tops of my inner thighs rub together.

1. To shop for clothes and not come home empty handed and frustrated.
2. To dance without feeling my legs hurting after just a few minutes
3. To run with my dogs.
4. To have sex in more than one position...(well you asked)
5. To not feel aches after walking on the treadmill.
6. To stop feeling like 'I can't do that" because of my wait...what ever "That" is at the moment.

So many!

Go on a bike ride with my kids.
Shop in the "nornal" section of a store.
Buying jeans off the table in Sam's Club (where there are no dressing rooms) and saying to myself, "These are size 10 - I am a size 10 - I think I will buy them."
The towel thing.
Not feeling gross in a bathing suit.
Never laying down on the bed to zip a pair of jeans.
Shopping from catalogs that sell normal sizes.
Not feeling sick everytime I walk by a store window and seeing my reflection.
Wearing heels again!
Wearing pencil skirts again!
Lingerie show for my husband.
Being too cold instead of too hot.

Oh, and sitting at a restaurant booth without my boobs taking a seat at the table. Really looking forward to that!

I NEVER want to have to step foot in Lane Bryant again!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that there is a nice store for plus sized woman to shop, but I hate everything it represents to me. It reminds me that I have let myself go, how much I hate not being able to shop anywhere else and just that I'm plain fat.

Heck, even when I weighed 130 I was called "thunder thighs". Runs in my family.

Well mine would have to be to be able to play volleyball next fourth of July at our friends cook out. This year I wanted to so bad but I was scared to because of my weight. Everyone else was "normal size" and then you have me! Oh and to be able to walk around with my husband and have people look at me for another reason then the fact that we are so mismatched. ( He is 6'4" and weighs about 160 soaking wet). Oh and my biggest thing is buying a new wedding dress. I have one already and it fits me now and is beautiful but I want to be able to look at my dad and say I have to go and get a new dress this one is swallowing me!
