3. To have the confidence to walk around naked
4. To be able to go horse riding again without fear of breaking the horse
5. To just be normal!! Ive always been overweight since I can ever remember.
#4 made me almost choke on my OJ .... i laughed that hard i always had a concern over the same thing .... i dont go horse back riding because im afraid .... for the horse my family thinks im a nut job seriously .... its a concern i wouldent want to carry around a 200 pound person for 5 minutes much less a half hour !
but my reasons i guess are
1. to get evreyone ( parents , doctor , husband ) off my back
2. the health benefits
3. to enjoy shopping again im the only girl i know who hates shopping ALL CANNOT BE RIGHT IN THE WORLD !!
4. to enjoy swimming and going to the beach again with out the fear of small children thinking theres a beached whale on the sand
5. to enjoy going out at all ... period , i hate avoiding certain places and people just because of my weight !
6. for my own personal satisfaction
7. i hate the phrase .... "omg what happned to you ?!?" people love saying that when they havent seen me for a while i bumped into some old friends from HS and they didnt even reconize me
8. to not be afraid that im too heavy to :
sit on a swing
go on a ride
be in a canoe
get a piggy back ride
sit on certain chairs
and the list goes on really
and last but not least ... i hate being "the big girl " i stick out like a sore thumb amongst my friends im the tallest by like half a foot and i have to be the biggest ? lets slap a clown nose and some big shoes on me now why dont we?
