1. shop in a "regular" store and not a plus size store (I have not done this since I was 18)
2. enjoy having my picture taken, I always take the photos so I am never in them
3. go hiking with my husband and not be worn out in an hour
1) Wear the size 6 jeans that are sitting in the back of my closet, that I haven't been able to wear in the past 6 years.
2) Look smokin' hot in a bikini
3) Walk all over the place with my head held high, full of confidence.
1. Fit into my old dresses (should happen in 10 pounds or so)
2. Be one of those active people and go hiking, rock-climbing, etc regularly
3. Wear a bikini without feeling self-conscious!
Some of you ladies bring up such a good point here that I didn't touch on because I didn't feel like it was a "want to do"...
I would love to not have my weight be the target of insults. When I got into arguments with people, I would immediately be put down by my weight because they thought it would be the most hurtful thing they could attack. I would love to not be able to give people that power anymore. People can say some extremely hurtful things when one is overweight, and I have had my share of them throughout the years.
This is such a nice thread, I'm glad someone bumped it.
1. Be able to bend down and tie my shoelaces without feeling like my stomach is being completely squished and being unable to breathe until I stand up again.
2.Be able to cross my legs and have my leg stay comfortably hanging over instead of slide right back down.
3. Look at my photo or my reflection in a full-length mirror and not be grossed out and shocked by how I look like.
4. Related to #3: not have an extra chin under my chin.
1. To be healthy and able to play with my grandchildren(none yet, hopefully soon lol) in the future.
2. To be able to pick clothes I like not just whatever fits.
3. To be able to accomplish some things on my bucket list (zip line with my daughter, sky dive)
1. Enjoy beach/pool with kids, meaning, I would like to wear a bathing suit comfortably.
2. Wear pants without having them either fall under my stomach bulge and therefore yanking up constantly or if they are the no zipper pull up strechy kind (or even panty hose for that matter) not have them rolllll back down under belly when I sit.
3. Get physically stronger.
