What "little things" do you look forward to when you lose your weight? I was just thinking this AM about it...

1) I can't wait to step out of the shower in front of our mirrored closet and not wonder if my boyfriend is looking at my back rolls

2) I can't wait to not have to sit in the front seat of a packed car (biggest in front!)

3) I can't wait to order a cheeseburger and not feel self-conscious that everybody in the restaurant is saying "should she really be having that?"

4) I can't wait to walk in a store and shop in the MISSES section, not Women's!!

5) I can't wait to not see the word "OBESE" on my medical file!

I'm hoping some of your awesome "little things" will help keep me on the right track!!

not having my thighs rub together! ....that would make my clothes last twice as long!

can't wait till the day that I want someone to take a picture of me,
Or the day that I will go dancing with friends and not feel so awkward.....

Many years ago, when I was in my early 20's, I joined WW and got down to about 135, the smallest I have been in my adult life. My high weight back then was about 180, a weight I was deeply ashamed of (interestingly, I am no more ashamed of my current weight than I was of that weight -- probably less so -- and don't perceive myself to be any bigger, which may be part of the problem).

Anyway, my office had some kind of celebration at a restaurant one night and there was also dancing. I remember one of the office guys "slow" dancing with me, but he was really good, twirls and fast moves and such. I had never been able to keep up with anyone like that before, but I remember I did, and I had such a good time!

Now I am almost 60 and newly engaged(!). My fiance loves to dance and is very good, but I never dance with him. It is sad, really. He loves me for me, I know, but I also know he loves to dance and misses it. If I were slim I know I could dance with him and not be awkward and slow because I still remember that time 35+ years ago when I was able ... to....dance. CJ

- thighs not rubbing together
- being able to literally run around and not worry about how I look
- feeling a smoooth back, not lumpy backfat
- not having to cover up with a jacket or a blazer
- having enough room to put my legs up when I'm in a car or in a chair lol

so many more but that's what I can think of from the top of my head!

I'm just looking forward to seeing my hips bones...

-shopping anywhere for clothes
-buying stylish,cute clothes
-having self confidence
-not obsessing about food/weight
-not thinking if only I was thin
-having energy,and being able to move around easier

These are great, gals.. and so inspiring!! I hope and know that we will all reach our goals...

*being able to walk faster
*being able to climb stairs easier
*being able to play with my kids more
*being able to run
*being able to fit in booths are restaurants easier
*being able to wear whatever I want!
*being able to wear normal shoes (I'm hoping my wide feet lose some weight too)
*being able to make love with my husband easier
*feeling sexy

-not making a joke about myself to cover up how I really feel
-when someone refers to me as small and I look around to see if they are really talking to me.
-hot having to worry when getting out the car or chair making sure pants don't fall under rolls or your stomach is showing
-when someone hugs me or when a guy touches my back i don't feel disgusted
-when taking a picture with others then viewing it, i don't have to mental prepare on how fat i will look
-or when taking a picture you try to do the pose that underemphasis your weight
-when walking a short distance not looking like you just walked a mile, sweaty and shiny. lol
you ladies probably going to kick my butt for saying this but when a guy walks by I won't think I could have gotten him if i was smaller. (sad but true)
-going to a food buffet with confidence

Maybe I'm superficial, but I most look forward to being able to buy lots of fabulous clothes.

dymondnruff - great list! i like the one about walking, hehe, cuz i sweat like a pig!

beaka - not superficial at all. I can't wait for that either.. I hate going shopping with my thin friends because I can't buy anything from the stores they shop at, and vice versa. I'll be happy even wearing an XL, as long as it's in the misses dept!

- Being free from this relationship with food
- My thighs not rubbing together also!
- Not feel like I'm being judged if I eat a slice of pizza
- Being able to shop at "regular" stores and fit in "normal" sizes
- Being comfortable in my skin
- Going to the beach! It's been years!
- Not being afraid I won't fit in a ride. I haven't been to an amusement park in a long time
- Not dreading summer because I sweat so easily
- Be okay when people take pictures and post them online without my permission

^^uggh good one, I immediately take down my tag if someone tags me of facebook!!
