what are you looking forward to about being thinner :D
 

what are you looking forward to about being thin....

1. CLOTHES I want to love shopping and be able to shop anywhere and where whatever I want!!! when I get to my goal weight I am going shopping in this gothic type store for an awesome corset or corset dress!!!!

2. being a lighter weight then my husband...for the first time ( he is 150)

3. being able to sit on my husbands lap without fear of killing him lol

4. seeing all my old friends and having them go WOW

5. feeling energized and happy

6. not crying before leaving the house everytime because I look fat in what I am wearing

7. being able to take a dance class without fear

8. not ending up in tears everytime I go shopping or having to take back clothes to a store and explain that the XL or size 16 pants are too small

9. to not have people look at me with confusion because my husband is so much smaller then me and wonder why he is with me :(

10. to be able to look myself in the mirror and not say OMIGOD is that how fat i really am!!!

I have never been small, been over 150 since grade 9. by grade 12 I was 170. I want to fit in single digit pants and where M or even *gasp* small clothes. I cant wait!!!

My biggest goal is having my underwear straps not dig into my skin. It's so unattractive and I hate it!

Looking extra good in my cloths, hopefully less knee pain, and to shock the heck out of my mother and the rest of my family when the see the "new" me. I'm also looking forward to fitting into some rides that I couldn't fit before at six flags this summer. I bet I can fit already but of course I can't really know until the park opens.

I agree with all of you. I want to fit into some cute clothes instead of buying maternity. I can't wait to turn heads again, especially my DH. Having smaller hips than my husband. Like said above to be able to sit on my husbands lap without feeling like I'm gonna kill him. Again, so my underwear doesn't dig into my skin. Everything that irishfairy said is exactly how I feel. EXACTLY.

I can totally feel you on this one.

I'm looking forward to enjoy family time more. I just told the hubby that I wanted to pick the first pretty day (hot or cold) and head to the park for some frisbee, hiking, or whatever other trouble we can get ourselves into. I've missed being more active.

On the underwear subject - not so much the bands cutting into my skin but the waistband roll down is on my last nerve! (or am I the only one?)

I want to see my hip bones again!

SHOPPING!!!!!! my hubby always teases me about having alot of shoes and purses, I always tell him that it depresses me to go shopping and have to go to the "Fat Girl Section":o(that's just what I call it) and look at all the UGLY clothes so I compensate in shoes and purses!!:lol: I also tell him when I lose the weight and start fillin our closet with Tommy and Abercrombie ,he'll wish all I bought was a purse and a pair of shoes:D

omigod I so have that problem. I bought extra big hanes undies so I wouldn't have that problem....man I cna't wait to wear something besides granny pantys

I can't wait to wear a bikini again without feeling like a beached whale next to all the other skinny girls on the beach. I also want to wear 1-strap tops again and even show my stomach!

Totally agree with everything irishfairy said, i want to be smaller than my boyf and not squish him!

A couple of new ones for me, my mum has just brought two horses, and I used to adore horse riding, I want to be able to go riding without killing the horse! At the moment im too heavy and self-conscious. Booo.

I want to feel comfortable in my skin, I want to be able to wander around the house in my underwear.

I cant wait to buy some knee high boots, ive always wanted a pair, and my legs have always been too chunky.

I coud actually think of hundreds of things!!

i want to be able to wear short skirts, shorts and swiming suit without cover up....:D

I want to see the colour of my panties without having to move my belly out of the way!:D

This thing I'm looking forward to the most is being judged by the content of my character rather than the size of my body.

AMEN nuf said

this might be too much information, but i want to be able to "be on top" and not feel self conscious about it.

Everything you ladies have stated. Plus I want to be able to look at my reflection in a store window and be able to grin!

Clothes aside, I'm looking forward to just feeling better. I'm looking forward to the doctor wanting to talk about my weight and being condescending about it.

I want to be able to say I DID IT!

I'm with Tinky, having my BF touch my stomach without tensing up and thinking to myself that he must be disguisted.
I want to be able to go shopping in the normal section, and not feel like crying everytime I try something on.
I don't want my weight to be what I obsess about all the time.
And Christine, I want to see my hipbones too!

1. Continue on staying healthy
2. Jeans!! Never in my life wore them.
3. Having a flat tummy

After losing 35 pounds five years ago, and gaining it all back plus 20 more...I am finally figuing out what works...exercise AND eating the right thing for my body..consistantly. So for me, finaly getting to my goal will prove to me that I can do it, and that I am stronger than I ever thought I was...I'm running for 8-10 minutes at a time on the treadmill for gooness sake!! It that really me?!:yes::encore:

ME TOO!!!
I am also hoping to regain some flexibility. things have definitely been more fun now that my stomach isn't in the way as much as it is.
I am 15lbs away from weighing less than my bf and hopefully being in a single digit size for the first time in my life. wait. NO. I'm 5 lbs away from weighing less than my bf, and 15lbs away from a new size. i am so going to throw a party.

I am looking forward to shopping, and not just for belts, lol, since i dont want to spend too much on clothes that won't fit for very long. every time i drop a size i buy ONE outfit but when i get to a 6 i'm buying a whole new wardrobe.

and wearing a 2 pc bathing suit. i have an XLong torso and one pcs, even long torso ones, well... i can't imagine it's legal for me to wear them in public because they don't cover the important bits...even tankinis have been out of the question because even if they're supposed to meet top and bottom in the middle, they don't. i have not worn or owned a bathing suit in almost 8 years.

1: Getting undressed with lights on. :devil:

2: Running a 5k again. :D

That answer made me laugh, good honest answer lol :lol:

As Ever
Me

Umm... again, this might be too much info, but I'm looking forward to my (.)(.) being the same size again! I guess one of the girls has more fat cells than the other. Prob'ly just me!

A flat stomach to look at :)

This discussion is a beautiful thing.

It is a beautiful discussion. :)

This is a bit odd, but one of benefits of being slim that I'd never have thought of in advance is how easy it is to fit places. I can fit through any gap, sneak past any person in the aisle of a plane, pass behind any piece of furniture. It's a strange thing to appreciate, but I'm constantly surprised at the spaces through which I can fit. It makes me feel tiny. :)

I want to be able to walk out of the bedroom with something sexy on and be able to take all of it off in front of my man with the lights on!!! I wanna be able to turn around and look back at him knowing that my cottage cheese legs arent making him think about the chick down the hall that looks awesome! And the shopping part too!!

I'm quickly learning that there are plenty of strange things that you appreciate, no matter how large or small they seem. :hug:

1. The reaction of my friends and family

2. Feeling comfortable with my body

3. Shopping for clothes - and NOT in the plus-size department! (Ahh. . .some day!)

4. Not getting winded during typical activities, like walking up a flight of stairs

5. Seeing the look of surprise on the faces of people I haven't seen in a while


This was a GREAT thread!!

-getting out all those old boxes of smaller jeans and form-fitting blouses I have stashed away and being able to zip/button them again! I have a closet full of this stuff.

and, related to that: shopping for cute clothes! and having them fit me. whoo

-when I walk around for a while, not getting back pain from the strain of the extra weight

-feeling more confident and less self-conscious

-being proud of my body again

-surprising old friends/relatives

-losing the darned double chin. Of all the things I hate about being overweight that bothers me most. I don't care that my cheeks are pudgy, I want a non-pudgy chin/neck.

Absolutely.

I hear ya! I used to be quite the frisky gal... and I'm sure that's the only reason my husband married me :) Now, I just get all tense when he touches me cuz I don't want him to feel just how squishy I am.
I can't wait to feel comfy enough to do a movie like seduction scene with him.
Too much info?
Well, that's okay. I also have all of my cute little size 6 jeans in the closet. I'll be able to go shopping without leaving the house or spending any money!

I'm looking forward to being proud of how my body looks when I lose the lbs. I'm looking forward to better confidence!!

Not having 25 extra pounds slowing me down all the time.

Being able to buy candy without feeling like people are staring at me.

Getting a boyfriend!

i think you all were in my head...lol.....

I want to look just as good, if not better than all the women on the beach who DON'T have 2 kids!

I cannot wait for the day when my shirt won't ride up because my hips are wider than the bottom of the shirt, for that matter when my elastic shorts and pants won't ride up my hips to my waist and give me a wedgie! I also look forward to being able to run or jump or anything like that and everything will stay in place, I'm tired of the jiggle. And it would be nice to be able to wear tall boots, my calves are too thick for most of them.

Oh I can't wait until I can put on clothing, not because it makes me feel "ok and not as fat" as something else. But because it looks good on me, and I like it.

- I can't wait to look in the mirror and smile instead of want to cry.

- I can't wait until I can go swimming and not feel like a whale lost in a sea of skinny gorgeous girls.

- Most of all, I can't wait until I can show not only my family, but myself that I can do whats best for me and be healthy. I want to be proud of myself.
