Things I'm Looking Forward to Once I've Lost the Weight!
Things I'm Looking Forward To:
Being able to cross my legs without one of them falling asleep.
Having my jeans wear out somewhere other than the inner thighs.
Going to the club and feeling like people are staring and LIKING it!
Not feeling like I have to buy the whole damned bolt of fabric when sewing for myself.
Not feeling suspicious when a guy hits on me.
When someone at karaoke says, "Oh my god, you should try out for American Idol!" and I say "Naw, I'm not what they're looking for; my voice is too Disney," actually MEANING my voice is too Disney, and not "my butt is too wide."
Having extra space in airplane seats.
Bike seats not killing my butt.
Riding in Tour De Cure with my dad.
Being a success story.
Wearing a bathing suit that doesn't have an attached skirt.
Shopping outside the plus size section.
Being able to get to the third floor at Ryland's without huffing and puffing.
Meme getting off my back about my weight.
Not worrying about fitting in amusement park rides.
Not getting incredulous looks when I say I have a partner.
Not spending a fortune and a lifetime finding PRETTY BRAS AND UNDERWEAR!!!!!!
VICTORIA'S. FREAKING. SECRET.
Sorry for TMI, but having panty liners fit panties properly.
No more heartburn.
No more snoring? Maybe? I hope?
Not losing empire waists in the valley between my boobs and my belly fat.
Not being scared of cameras.
Taking photos in other poses besides from above, from the side.
Sneakers lasting longer.
Feeling good in the dressing room.
Wearing knee high boots again!
Having more energy.
Being more than the fat, funny friend.
Not getting sweaty in stupid places.
Not taking an eon to shave my massive legs.
Fitting into the clothes in a bin under my bed that I miss and love.
Not having dimply CALVES for crying out loud!
Having a SINGULAR CHIN.
Not needing an underwire, sports, AND shelf bra every time I go jogging!!!!!
Not needing bike shorts under dresses to avoid heat rash.
Need I continue? I can keep going ALL DAY.
Every time I feel the need to binge, I'm coming back to this thread and reading all the awesome things I'm working towards!!!!!!!
Anyone else have things for which they are dreaming of the day?
Add the things YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR!!!!!!!!! And then come here and read them when you're feeling weak.
"I could have this brownie..... Oooooor I could have a swimsuit without a freaking SKIRT!"
WOOT!!!!!!!!!
Edited to add: I looked and didn't see a thread like this, but if it's a duplicate, feel free to delete, Mods. I'm a newbie! *ducks*

I'm new too, so apologies if this is a dup, but fun thread...
1. Not touching other people's thighs on the bus
2. Being able to buy jeans/bottoms at normal stores
3. Shining with confidence
4. Not having my weight be an issue that holds me back
5. Not being out of breath when I walk upstairs
6. Wearing high heels [more] comfortably
7. Being proud of myself, for sticking to it. =)
Ugh, my jeans ALWAYS get holes in the inner thighs. Unless I spend a ton of money on really expensive ones, they ALWAYS wear through there. I can't wait to have a space between my thighs. I haven't had one since I was a little kid...
God, I know exactly what you mean! I get so I don't want to spend my hard earned money on clothes for myself when I look dumpy in them, so I spend it on something else..... like dinner. *facepalm*
I have one.....it might not be that high up on anyone else's list but it is the only thing I really want.
1. Being able to open the door.
There's a lot behind that. I don't mean a metaphorical door or that I'm incapable of actually opening a door......but this one in particular...I can't wait for the day that I can open it.
Wow. It never even crossed my mind that someday I would be able to wear a bikini.... holy moly, that thought just blew my mind! Watch out world... next summer I'll be on the beach in a BiKiNi! hahahaha
And DoV, thanks for this thread. Last night I wanted SOOO bad to go to the corner store for some chocolate, but instead I thought of my shrinking thighs instead. Went to bed with a craving, woke up with a craving -- of egg whites!!
