  • - No more chub rub!
    - No more double chin.
    - Getting a really great haircut because right now, I feel like I have to hide behind my long hair.
    - Having a beautiful neck and arms. Weird, I know, but I am so, so, so, so, so self-conscious about my neck.
    - Being able to wear tank tops without being so self-conscious.
    - My hands and feet are already losing fat, so pretty soon I'll be able to wear all of my old rings that don't fit me anymore. I can't wait!
  • Being able to grab the sample size One-Of-A-Kind designer dress on the mannequin, have it fit, AND get it at discount.

    I know that sounds stupid, but my friend owns the most fabulous boutique and the dresses that the mannequins wear usually end up at the salvation army or on ebay. I want him to be able to give them to me.
  • Quote: not having my thighs rub together! ....that would make my clothes last twice as long!
    OMG I would love this! I dont think this will ever be the case fo me, when when I was 98 pounds my thighs still rub, they are not huge but they never get as thin as I think they should be!

    I cant wait to fit into my size 6 clothes without feeling like im going to burst out at any second!
  • i'm also looking forward to my boobs not sweating. haha i know it's so simple but boobsweat is the worst cuz you can't attractively wipe sweat out of your cleavage. it's just not possible.
  • Quote: Maybe I'm superficial, but I most look forward to being able to buy lots of fabulous clothes.

    I totally agree with this!! I totally want to shop shop shop!

    I also look forward to

    --not trying to figure out the best way to pose in a picture so that my double chin and belly don't show (or at leat not that bad)
    --wearing tank tops
    --not having back fat poke out from my bra!!
    --sitting down and not thinking "are my rolls sticking out too much?" and then switching position a million times
    --not feeling all my fluff jiggle when i do a jumping jack!!
    --feeling more confident!


    Good question Alyssa!
  • I definitely agree with people on the thigh rubbing and the being able to shop anywhere.

    Something I think about occasionally is that if I get married (no current plans or boyfriend, I'm just saying when it does happen), I really want my husband to be able to carry me into the hotel room on our honey moon. Not like he has too, just, I'd like it to be an option.
  • Quote: -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
    Wow, I agree with everything!! This is me.
  • *being able to buy clothes because i like them not because i can actually fit into them
    *going to the beach again
    *not having to put a pillow in my lap when i sit on a couch
    *not being afraid to get busy with the lights on
    *feeling as pretty as my friends

    Does this really happen when you’re thin? I wouldn’t know ! Does boob sweat just stop? I mean without losing your boobs, I’d like to keep those at least most (or some) of them . . . but the sweat can go, I agree, it’s the worst! I’d say the only thing that might possibly be more difficult than trying to attractively wipe sweat from your cleavage would be trying to attractively (and discreetly) wipe sweat from under your boobs
  • more feminine shoulders
  • LOL at boob sweat. I don't get boob sweat but you know what I HATE? Sometimes after doing my cardio, when I sit on the machines at the gym I get... butt crack sweat!!! I don't even know, but you know, a sweat mark is left on the seat!!! I always wipe it off BUT GROSS!!! I feel like a big wet blob right about then!
  • * not having to CONSTANTLY pull my shirt away from the rolls on my stomach!

    * to be able to walk around with pants and just my bra in front of my boyfriend

    * to be able to as a previous poster said "get busy" with daylight or the lights on and not be horrified

    PS - hey sws19 - where are you on our treadmill thread! no one is there anymore!
  • Some of these kinda make me sad, because even when I was suuuper thin,(and starved/worked out like a maniac to be there) I didn't feel as pretty as my friends, I didn't feel confident to eat, or have my picture taken, or wear cute/daring clothing, or be noticed by the opposite sex. Infact, the thinner I got, the worse the insecurity became. I don't want to be some kind of doom-sayer, but has anyone else had this? Ladies, don't wait to reach your goals before you love yourself, allow yourself to live your life. You will never be where you are today, for better or for worse. If I die tommorow, I hope my friends say that I loved, lived, laughed and ate. I don't want people to say..."Wow, was she disciplined and thin." Just my two cents.

    I agree with you! Of course, this is all about bettering ourselves, but I can say despite my weight, I love my life and am thankful for every minute I have. It's a good self check in to remember that while you may complain about your legs, at least you have them and they can carry you across streets. Same applies for just about any other body part - they may not be perfect but if you have them and they work, you are blessed. It's just motivating to work hard so you can become an even happier person - at least that's how I look at it!
  • I want to be able to comfortably fit into all the clothes in my closet. I have A LOT of clothes, many of which are too tight.
