21. I will be able to wear a two piece swim suit.

22. I will look so cute in workout clothes.

23. I will feel confident doing physical activities in front of others.

24. I will sleep more comfortably.

25. I will be able to sit on Joseph's lap.

26. When the time comes, I will be a cute pregnant lady, not a nasty pregnant lady.

27. I will have more ENERGY!

28. I will be comfortable sitting on an airplane seat.

29. I will be able to find anklets that fit.

30. I will be able to wear belly button jewelry (naval rings, belly chains, temporary tatoos, etc.). My belly button will be so cute when the fat is all gone!

Dear Ladies:

All of your dreams are felt by me also. I would like to add this:

To go into a restaurant (fast food, like KFC) alone and after ordering a huge amount of food, not have the cashier ask if it is for "here" or "to go". (I've been left thinking: Oh sure, I'm here alone and I'm going to eat that whole bunch of food myself. I don't want to look like I could anymore.)

I want to be able to have the seat belt in the back seat of the car fit around me.

I want to find a bra (and pantihose) that are actually too big.

When I reach my goal I will always be on maintenance; however, I dream of having one of my favorite foods once a month.

I want to be able to sing again without worrying about how I look, and when I sing, I want people to really notice me.

I'm almost 49...I want to wear young looking clothes.

When I reach my goal, I want to get a tummy tuck...I'll never have a flat belly otherwise (I've had 5 abdominal surgeries and need to have one more...then I will talk the doctor into doing a tummy tuck).

I want to wear skimpy shorts.

I live in Florida...I want to wear one of those cute little terry sunsuits and not be self conscious.

Too many tracks on my back (from surgery) to wear a bikini, but I'd like to think I could wear one.

I have big feet (size 10), but I want to be able to find shoes without getting the extra wide width.

I don't want to dream about DOING things...I just want to do them!!!

What a wonderful wonderful feeling it is to not be alone with our fears and hopes?!?!?

What can I even possibly add to this list??? Every single post is screaming my name..as if I wrote it myself.

I dream..but these WILL come true:

1. Tattoo!! (Part A) I dream of the day that I walk into the tattoo parlor and pull my pants down and my shirt up and tell them to tattoo my lower back and I won't be ashamed of the back roll..because it will be gone! I refuse to get this done now, I want to be able to show it off without cringing. I am aiming for December..
(Part B) To be able to wear hip huggers comfortably so I can show off my tattoo!!

2. I dream of joining everyone for a day at the beach and not dread ppl asking me why I won't take off my shorts. To want to participate in all of the water sports because I am finally comfortable with myself.

3. I dream of wearing anything without sleeves. But most of all that black lil sexy dress I keep dreaming of. Sleeves will be a thing of the past!!

4. To have energy, to be strong and healthy. To run, to join any physical activity I want and not automatically think of my weight.

5. BRAS!!!! My dream is to wear a bra and be comfy for once, without having to adjust constantly.

6. To look at pictures and not instantly have the desire to take a torch to it.

7. I dream to walk down the hall at work and not be thinking about my legs rubbing together.

8. To not cringe at the thought of what I could wear to "hide" my body. I want to wear any color I want and feel comfortable.

9. When the time comes in my life to make love to someone (it's been awhile!!) I want to feel confident, sexy, wanted and wild...and not think about what he is thinking about the roll that was just released. hahaha

10. And for now..the biggest dream I have...is to have any dream I have come true, to have the strength and courage to fight for it.
