I cannot wait to buy the first two piece swimsuit of my entire life. (i'm not quite there yet though). And ultimately looking amazing in my wedding dress (6 months and 40 pounds to go...ugh)
Shorts, any kind of shorts, I just want to not have to suffer through another summer of wearing only jeans because of my legs (I don't think I've worn shorts during summer in about 10 years!).
Being able to get down and dirty in my garden without huffing and puffing and my knees cracking when I stand back up.
Being able to push the stroller the mile and a half to the park with my girls without being a red, sweaty, chaffed mess.
The one thing I cannot wait for is for my husband to be able to pick me up. Bless his heart, he knows I want him to be able to so he tries to act like he can, but he barely gets me off the ground before he puts me back down because I'm too heavy. :-(
I can't wait to be able to hop on my horse without a stepstool. I am looking forward to driving my hubby crazy tempting him.( I do this now but I'm sure I will feel better about it 75 lbs. lighter) I don't want to be the fat one in the group of friends.
I can't wait until I get to go to the beach and wear something more daring than usual..
To not get overlooked at discussions (I know it seems paranoid, but I'm much smarter than I look.. I really think it's the weight that gets me overlooked sometimes, but it's funny because when I open my mouth, suddenly everyone wants to talk to me..?)
So I can go hiking and camping this summer with a few of my girl friends and maybe even a roadtrip - I want to do these things easily without my weight messing with me physically or mentally
So I can stop pulling shirts down and wearing jackets/blazers to cover myself up.
Sleeveless tops.. So looking forward to that! Oh yeah, and shorts.. I never wear shorts.. it used to be a religious thing but I don't consider myself of that religion , now it's just not feeling comfortable at my weight to do so!
Feeling better about myself, not being afraid of taking pictures in all the family outing in the summer, wearing cute clothes, I love summer dress and for the past two years I was not able to wear them because of my weight.
I'm looking forward to knowing that I achieved this goal for the first time in my life.
To doing things for the first time that I would have never done at a higher weight because it wasn't physically possible for me to do so.
Looking more my age. I have a young face and I find being overweight makes me look very young overall - both my face and even when I walk. Hopefully 40 lbs from now I'll look youthful but passable for my age.

1. Never have to shop in Lane Bryant again!
2. Try surfing without a million fears (bathing suit, lifting myself, etc.)
3. Wear shorts in the summer
4. Complete a 5K, 10K
5. Go shopping with my sisters in regular stores
6. Attend reunions, events, etc. without dread
7. Go back to Sydney and climb the Harbor Bridge (I skipped it when I was there because I was afraid the suits wouldn't fit me, and that I wouldn't make the hike)
8. Not having to think about my weight all day, every day
9. Travel more
10. Be able to take photos for memories without fear
-not leaving *** sweat stains on plastic chairs. It's so embarrassing. During the winter, I would always sit on my coat whenever possible so it would provide a thicker barrier.
I think I sweat so much in my crotch partly because of the exercise walking to class but also out of anxiety because I'm so uncomfortable and nervous being around other people since everyone is so thin and social and I feel like such a fat sack compared to them.
I always have to wiggle around on the chair before I stand up so the stain isn't so obvious, or wait until the people around me have left.
Does anyone else have this problem? (And I wear essentially three layers - underwear, tights, skirt and it doesn't help).

oh yes and to make all my ex classmates who haven't seen me in ages go omg
I love this. When I was in high school I was a size 20. I love seeing people from high school. It's been 6 years since then. People never recognise me as I've also had my teeth straightened and cut my hair uber-short and look completely different. I love their reactions when I see someone I've not seen since high school when they realise it is me lol
Fatter_Fitter: I have that problem too. It hasn't happened to me in a long time, but now that the weather is getting warmer I'm starting to worry again. I'll have to start practicing the wriggle maneuver. :P
Wearing a tank top and short jean skirt with a pair of flip flops. I have never worn a sleeveless shirt but am so excited to! Snoring less. Running and playing with my kids and not worrying about how I look doing it. I have never been thin so it will be a whole new world for me.
