Post When I am thinner....

I was reading a very inspiring post about "Now that I'm thinner" and all of the great things they experience, and I thought it might be nice to post one for those of us who are just starting, so we can acknowledge what we are looking forward to once we get closer to, and reach our goals.

I'll start...

When I am thinner, I look forward to:
- riding on rollercoasters, and not having to get off before the ride starts because I don't fit.
- being able to cross leg over my knee, and not have it awkwardly sitting parallel to the ground.
- being able to keep up with my niece as she starts to walk, and eventually run.
- being able to GET hugs where someone picks you up and spins you around.

I have a huge list, but I would love to hear what other's are looking foward to, and hopefully we can look back and be able to smile and feel accomplished once we can do the things on our lists.

Thumbs up What a great Idea!!!!

I love the one about crossing your legs...I can't wait for that day!. Anyway, when I'm thinner I can't wait to:

1. Look my co workers in the eye without being embarrassed.
2. Get dressed up for a date with my husband, like I used to.
3. BURN my "fat" clothes, although I will probably donate them instead.

When I am thinner I look forward to:

1. Tucking my shirt in.
2. Being able to pull something out of my closet and know it will look and feel good whether it's a Tshirt and jeans or a little black dress!
3. Knowing that I finally DID IT!!

When I am thinner, I look forward to...

- fitting in an airplane seat without touching my hips touching either side
- not being embarrassed to attend an event with my husband because I'm fat
- shopping in any store I like because they all sell my size
- eating a healthy balanced diet and easily maintaining my weight using the knowledge I learned by being on IP
- never having to hear small children, or my nieces or nephews call me fat again
