Patchwork how is the weather out there? I'm headed that way tomorrow after work! I have family in Memphis and the surrounding areas. I'm a West Tennessee girl!
I've heard it's getting bad and I'm getting a little nervous about the drive!
Its colder than we are used to! The snow we had has melted already, and it didn't stick to the roads. AR got slammed, however. The predictions I have seen are for more flurries for the rest of the week, but I don't think it will stick. 5* is the low for Friday. Brrr! Nashville weather says snow for Friday however.. This is the site I get my weather, just punch in the zip or city name. pretty accurate, actually. http://klove.com/News/Weather.aspx
My quilting buddy's daughter attends Sewanee.
ShinyLizard, The friend of one of my old BF's asked him why he was dating someone as big as me! This 'friend' obviously didn't own a mirror or he would have seen the gut hanging over his waistband. And he criticized me?
I have some Victoria's Secret jeans in size 10, I would like to put those on and go to the actual store at the mall and buy some of those cute undies again! Besides that, I'd like to try bellydancing lessons (without the belly) and like the rest of you, get some decent photos taken with my sons.
Just be able to wear clothes without feeling self-conscious about the gut and thighs and eat a burger while dining out without that voice in the back of my head going, "You shouldn't be eating this, you're supposed to be losing weight."
I want to wear boots past my ankles!
Wear lots of tank tops and dresses to show off my tattoos, my back is all done and I want to show it off
Be a jogger
There's so many things I would love to do again. Aside from the shopping spree and being proud to be in a photo, I want to be even more active. There's a lot of activities that I haven't been able to try or haven't been able to do in years just because I feel too heavy or unbalanced for them. I haven't gone figure skating for years and I'd really like to get into a judo or martial arts class again. I only took a judo class once in high school and I loved it, but no one wanted to spar with me because even then I was overweight. Oh, and mountain climbing again! Oh my gosh I used to LOVE mountain climbing! I think I would cry when I'm able to do that again because it brings back so many good memories of my father.

Not be embarrassed to be in photos. Right now I'm always torn between wanting there to be photos of me with the kids, and hating that I'm fat in all those photos.
After 3 kids' worth of stretchmarks, a bikini is out of the question LOL but I'd love to be able to wear a bathing suit without feeling self-conscious
-get a new tattoo
-take an after picture with my friend (I have a picture of us both from Christmas '08 that will make an excellent before. She's lost 55 and I've lost 49 so far)
-Buy a few really nice outfits from Anthropologie (there is nothing available in plus size that can even come close to that store)
-take rock climbing lessons (I might do this slightly before goal if I have the $$)
-I just thought of this one today, but I'd really like to take a trip to NYC with my sister and be able to SHOP there! (Last time I went to NYC was with my mom and we just looked at all the great clothes we can't fit into and bought a couple things for my sister)
-I want to share clothes with my friends. I've never been able to do this. Even my plus size friends are smaller than me. (I'd love to say I want to share clothes with my sister, but she'd have to gain weight for that We have VERY different body types beyond fat and thin)
-Complete a half marathon and later a sprint triathlon
-I actually have no desire to wear a bikini. I want to wear guy's board shorts and a rash guard and look smoking hot in it. (oh and it'd be nice to learn to surf so I'm not a total poser in it )
Things I want to do:
-Wear a bikini and flaunt my stuff
-Wear cute little sun dresses, without having to worry about my big butt making it uncutified.
-More skimpy clothing! And lingerie!
-Have the willpower to go to events that I just feel too embrassed to go to now--and look good doing it! I want to make men jealous of my boyfriend
Mostly, I want to be able to get out. I want to be able to go places and do things without worrying about what people think. I know I'm not that large, but I feel like I am!
I'm a big computer and gamer nerd, and in my current body, I just don't like it. Too stereotypical. But a hot and sexy girl who is into computers and gaming? That turns even me on!

Oh, you will so be queen of the nerds. And really, what's hotter than a sexy nerd? Personally, I'm more of the art nerd variety, but I'm ready to rock it.
Spend a day at a health spa and get pampered and have a French manicure
Shop till I drop (I’m also a thrift store addict)
Wear loads of pretty dresses especially ones with no sleeves and not have to cover up with a shawl or jacket
Wear loads of short skirts and tank tops
Wear a bikini and not feel embarrassed about it
Lie out in the sun during summer and soak up the rays
Start dancing lessons (I’m too embarrassed at the moment because I feel I’m too big)
Start ice skating lessons (same as above)
Be able to run and work out for long periods of time
No longer feel uncomfortable in my own skin or as if I’m not as gorgeous as my friends
Go back to where I grew up (haven’t been home for six years) and show off my new bod to everyone who was mean to me in high school (shallow, I know, but I can’t help wanting to do just that)
(without the belly) and like the rest of you, get some decent photos taken with my sons.
