Not worrying about fitting in amusement park rides. ~ YES! We went to Disney World last November and this was one of my worst fears. I fit in most of the rides, but there were SO many I was too afraid to try. The disappointed look on my kids faces broke my heart. When I get this weight off I will be back at Disney and I WILL ride everything my kids do.
VICTORIA'S. FREAKING. SECRET. ~ YES! And can I also add "Making love with the lights ON" to this one?
SHOPPING!! I'm soooo tired of shopping from tent-size clothing catalogs.
OMG I was going to write the one about having the lights on, but I wasn't sure if it was too risque. I don't know the rules here yet. But YES!
I've never not fit in a ride, but a few of them have been a tight squeeze, and I'm always waiting for that mortifying moment when I can't fit. I'm so happy to know I'll never worry about that again!
~Taking dance lessons.
~Riding horses again!!! (I know technically I could just ride a big horse, but it wierds me out to ask a poor beast to cart this around right now.)
I'm at goal...and I remember wanting so many things when I lost weight...but you know what the most exciting thing has been for me (lately)...A mammogram. Yes, a mammogram. I used to HATE them, oh man how it hurt SO badly with my big ol fat boobs. I had one today, and although there was a little slight discomfort, what a treat it was to not be squished beyond belief. The technician also said something like..."it really is much easier taking these x-rays on someone slim and trim like you" ...WHO ME??? wow. LOVE IT!
I can't wait to meet someone new and have them not believe that I was ever as heavy as I was.
I can't wait to go to a doctor's office and not have to hope that no one mentions that I've gained more wight. ****, I just want to not have every medical issue linked to my weight for once.
I can't wait to shop alongside all of my friends...and then borrow their clothes!
Riding horses is a good one, I'm going to do that after I reach my goal weight...I really like the idea of positive goals and activities to enjoy. I haven't been on a horse for almost 40 years and I'd love to do it again (and take my dd who has never been on a horse).
I'd also like to go swimming (I'm too self conscious currently to wear a bathing suit & I haven't gone swimming for about 20 yrs, when my kids were small.)
I've kept a list of reasons why I want to lose weight (I've lost 44 lbs from my heaviest but have 101 to go). Not having to worry about fitting into amusement parks is on my list...
other items on my list have been,
- to weigh less than my DH
-to get out of plus sizes & buy cute clothes
- to be able to get in & out of bathtubs easily (can do this now)
- to fit easily into airplane, train, movie theatre & subway seats without overlapping into my neighbour's space
- to have a bust line bigger than my tummy (have this now)
- to no longer be the fattest person in the room
- amusement parks rides are on my list too (I'm going to on on Thurs, I've always managed to squeeze in (just) but it would be wonderful to not worry about it)
- to have a lower sleep apnea pressure (my apnea is severe so I'll probably always need it)
- to no longer get winded on stairs (this has happened)
- to not worry about breaking a chair or getting stuck
- to wear narrower shoes (I'm a D currently, my sister says this will happen with weight loss)
- to no longer have the most prominent feature of my face be my enormous thick neck
Goodness, there are so many great ones already on here!
Some additional things I'm looking forward to:
Not being the biggest one in the group
Not feeling my gross belly in the way of everything
Being willing to be photographed
Actually wanting to go out and do things with people
Not being depressed when I have to buy clothes
Shorts!!!
Bathing suits
Fitted tops
No more tugging at my top (Noticing I do less already!!!)
Less frequent potty breaks cuz my poor bladder is small from all the fat crushing it (This is getting better already too!!)
There are more, but that's all I can think of right now.
THANK YOU, DaughterOfVenus, this thread is a great idea!
to flying out to see my family and not having a panic attack over fitting in the airline seat
I just had a flashback to last January. If my DH wasn't such a slender guy I would have been even more miserable than I was. That was one sucky experience.
One of mine: Not having people wonder what a slender, handsome guy like my DH is doing with me.
- to wear narrower shoes (I'm a D currently, my sister says this will happen with weight loss)
Probably. I gained from a size AAAA to almost a medium and now I'm back down to a AAA. So yes, my foot has widened and narrowed with gains and losses. Sadly, I liked the almost medium. I could actually wear shoes that didn't cost an arm and a leg.
When I get this weight off I will be back at Disney and I WILL ride everything my kids do.
