This may sound silly, but I am looking forward to being able to tie my shoes without having to hitch my foot up on my knee by grabbing onto the bottom of my pants!

I want to be able to bend over while I am sitting without it being difficult to breath! LOL

What are you looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to fitting again in my old old clothes...

I'm looking forward to ... not having to worry about the size of seats, not having to worry about weight limits... getting to shop in normal stores... and this is incredibly shallow of me... but I'm tired of being the biggest person in the room all the time! So, no more of that!

Getting out of the house ---- check
Being HOT

---- check
Fitting into my old clothes again ---- check Adding to that.. I wanna be able to buy some new ones too!

Fairie - yep, yep, yep and definitely know that feeling about being the biggest person in the room! Our oldest son got married last year and I was trying on mother of the groom stuff that I had to order over the net - (of course they didn't have my size in the stores) and was trying the clothes on in our bathroom. I tried this one outfit on and looked in the mirror and just cried! Hubby came in to see why I was taking so long.. and I told him that I didn't want to be the fat one anymore. Took me about a year to decide that I still didn't want that and I started WW.

...sitting down in class without having a huge stomach pudge staring back at me

...being able to wear a skirt without worrying about whether my cellulite is showing

...being able to jog for more than 5 minutes without getting winded or cramped

...being at a healthy weight

I'm looking forward to getting dressed in the morning and rather than looking for the most acceptable thing to wear or the thing that won't put me into agony (due to discomfort), to being able to find the very cutest outfit I could find! Also, I can't wait to be able to shop with my friends and buying cute stuff on sale, rather than acting like I don't feel like trying stuff on (knowing it won't fit) and not just looking at shoes or handbags! I also just love the feeling confident and not embarassed about how I look. I know this is all very shallow, but if it keeps me motivated, then why not? The truth is that I am motivated mostly by the feeling of control I have over my eating. I can't stand that out of control feeling that I can have with food. Sorry this got so long! There's lots more I look forward to, but I don't wanna bore anyone.

Looking beautiful for my cousin's wedding....
Wearing those size 12s I want to get into so badly....
Not having to cover my upper arms all the time!!!!

I always think people judge me on my weight, which gives me a lack of confidence,makes me shy, and makes it hard for me to meet new people. When I know someone, I dont lack any confidence and can be me. I am looking forward to gaining confidence and being able to be me all the time, not just around the people I know. Also, I have a certain pair of pants that I would like to wear and a coat that I would like to wear. But mainly, I am looking forward to being healthy and fit.

Much of what everyone else has said.

I also want to get dressed without fear......of everything.
I want to learn to love myself again, rather than be my worst critic.
I want to show my children what healthy is and be a good example.
I want to love others, as I cannot love them the right way if I don't love myself.
I want to stop saying horrible things about myself as it hurts my husband.
I just want to be happy and this is one of the steps to making that happen.

For alot of the reasons stated already, but I will repeat the biggy, not having to squeeze into airplane seats, keeping my fingers crossed that I could buckel the seatbelt, not have to worry if the only seat available is a middle seat.

I want to be able to look at my reflection in a mirror, and like what I see.

Faerie said it best, not being the biggest in the room, how self conscience it makes you feel.

Chey, I can go you one better, I would like to be able to drop down on one knee and tie my shoe lace then jump back up, and continue on my 3mile run.

Paintfancy · 05-19-2008, 12:42 PM

I am looking forward to being the person on the outside that I feel like on the inside and I'm looking forward to doing it for the rest of my life!

kahnfv · 05-19-2008, 02:08 PM

Being able to wear my wedding rings again and not having to take blood pressure meds.

luvmyfam · 05-19-2008, 02:44 PM

Most of what everyone already said, PLUS...

#1: I want to stop turning to our 12 y/o to run after his 4 y/o sister when she takes off...because I know he can catch her quicker.

and #2: I want to be comfortable having my picture taken again, and stop having to hide behind everyone to be willing to be in a picture! I'll smile for pictures, then when I see them, I'm miserable because I see how fat I am in them!

AND #3: The blog title I used when I tried writing a blog here... I'm too young to feel this old!! I'm only 34...that's young! But I feel so tired so much of the time. BLAH.
