What are the small things you're looking forward to? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

JustSharing83 · 07-22-2007, 03:05 AM

There are several benefits to losing weight and the obvious things we look forward to are being healthier and looking better... But what are some of the small personal things that you want to be able to do but can't because of your weight?

--
For me, I really want to wear an ankle bracelet. I think they are so cute but I've never had one on. Starting out, my ankle was well over 10 inches (now it's about 9.8) and anklets seem to average 9 inches.

I would also like to be able to wrap a towel around myself. The largest ones I own might meet at the top, but they don't really fully reach around so there's no coverage. I'm not wanting to wear it any other time than in the bathroom after a shower, but I would like to be able to do it then.

-edit- I apologize if this is too similar to the NSV threads, I am still pretty new here and wasn't aware of them.

Hi JustSharing,
I know what you mean about the little things, right now I am able to wrap a towel around me. I thought I was the only one who thought about that. LOL
I would like to wear shorts above my knees, and maybe a shirt that allows my belly to show a little with out my gut sticking out.
I want ot get rid of my double chin, it's not as bad as it was before, but I want it completely gone.
Wow, it feels good to say those things!

One of my favorite outfits on women in the summer is a tank top and a pair of cute shorts that hit mid thigh. I always think they must be so cool and comfortable. That is the one thing I want the most; to be comfortable in my clothes.

I have 2 things.

I want to fit in roller coaster seats

And how can I say this. I want to see Mr.happy without sucking my gut in and pushing in on my belly.

How to explain this...okay, you know how when you wear a pair of jeans, the waistband kinda bunches up and curls over? Okay. Yesterday my waistband LAID FLAT! Flat against my stomach and then my body continued straight up from there--no pudgy overhang. Of course now I'm sorta scared to put on my jeans again and discover it was one fluke day!

But I'm looking forward to that: clothes that really honestly fit properly, instead of just being a wearable size.

Well here are a couple of little things that I personally look forward too:

I hear ya on the ankle bracelet thing, I've always loved ankle jewelry and couldn't wear them either!

When I go out running I want to wear those little spandex shorts and jog bra tops I always see really fit women in

I want to be smaller than the man I'm with

I can't wait to be able to get in and out of the back seat of a small two door car with ease! One of my friend's has a Mustang and I can tell you this is torture right now (although getting better)!

I want to paint my toenails without passing out from lack of oxygen!
I want to sit in a chair without my thighs/hips squishing against the sides.
I want to walk up to Hubby and give him a big body hug without straining around our tummies (picture two beach balls!)
I want to sit-up in bed instead of rolling over and slipping out.
I want to wear a thong and not have it disappear forever!

LOL! I feel the same.

When you go to the doctor, and they tell you to disrobe & put on one of those little gowns with ties: I want it to fit. Yes!!!
More than anything (so I guess it makes it a big thing), I want to go scubadiving again.

I'd love to have shirts with color. It seems like everything I have now is black, because it hides the yuckiness the best.

I'd love to be able to walk around in a simple tank top and not have my crater-like belly hang out. It looks like the moon!!

I want to wear my hubby's t-shirts as PJ's...not as regular attire.

I want to smile for a picture and not be afraid of my chiny-chin-chins showing.

I would like to sit up straight without having a roll of fat on my waist.
I would like my BF to actually pick me up and carry me for once without feeling like a heffer and being self conscious that I'm to heavy for him to carry.
I would like to go clothes shopping and find that they actually have plenty of clothes in my size.

I want to get rid of the muffin tops on top of my pants.
I want to be able to wear "true" shorts again -- not the cross between capris and shorts (the "knee high shorts!")
I want to have more energy.
I want my husband to love my body again
I want to be able to ride my bike without my parts hiding the seat
I want to wear cute clothes.
I want, I want, I want......

all kinds of neat stuff!

mj5 · 07-22-2007, 01:29 PM

I want to feel confident enough to wear a tank top out in public.

shelby897 · 07-22-2007, 01:32 PM

I forgot one -- I want a tattoo -- probably too old!! But since I had my kids I've wanted their names together in the shape of a heart with two flowers in between their names. Probably never happen, not sure if I have the nerve!!!
