1. I want a better career again, and John T. Molloy (the Dress for Success guy) says that studies have shown that overweight women face huge obstacles in the workplace. So do older women...now I can't get younger, but I can get thinner!
2. I'm tired of shopping to hide things...belly, solar plexus, arms...once the air-conditioning at work broke down in a heat wave when I was wearing a sleeveless top under my jacket. Eventually I had to take it off and it was so hard!
3. I'm tired of attitude. I'd like to pick up an order of chips for my husband without feeling like people a) assume they are for me and b) disapprove.
4. I'd like more confidence in the bedroom. DH thinks I'm the sexiest thing alive, but I can't see it and it inhibits me.
5. I'd like shoes to be more comfortable, and I think they would feel better without so much weight on my feet.
6. This one is silly, but I'd love to tuck a tshirt into a pair of jeans for a change!
