Dating. I still feel so uncomfortable with myself, I just can't think about trying that right now.

I know, right. I should have been shopping at Frederick's at 370 lbs (or, fredericks online, at least). There's no line of demarcation between those who deserve the good life and those who don't. If you want to do something DO IT. What's holding you back is all mental. Change your thinking. No one will laugh at you, or feel sorry for you, for leading the life of a normal, average-sized person. And if they do, well, that's their problem, not yours.

Amen !

My lovely size two sister just had some done for her husband for Christmas. Hopefully the day will come when I can do that as well.

I also want to wear cute little shorts and a tank top to the gym in the summer. I'm sick of working out in baggy guys gym shorts and big t-shirts!

Not be self conscious when I eat in public. "Let's all see what the fat old lady is chowing down on.... "

I want to look in the mirror and see the woman that i know is inside....the one I used to see in the mirror. And play football with my boys without having to take breaks.

Ride on the back of my husbands motorcycle!! (He has a Suzuki GSXR that I absolutely adore.)

(I've done it a few times, but I always am too self conscious to actually enjoy it. I mean really, have you ever seen a fat girl on the back of a sport bike, with a skinny guy driving? I don't think so. So I've quit all together. )

I have always wanted to go kayaking. I love the water and think it looks like so much fun. I've always been afraid I wouldn't fit, get stuck in it or it would sink because of my weight.

This thread is awesome...if my week weren't already chock full of activities, I'd order myself a cute swimming costume (1-piece...for now ), de-fuzz the necessaries (sorry, tmi) and get myself signed up for aqua fitness sessions.

As it is I'm at the gym with my PT twice a week, doing Zumba once a week, and will probably start belly dancing once a week too. On a fifth day I've got choir, and that leaves the weekend for household chores and...uh...church!

This isn't directly related to weight loss, and is dependent on lots of other factors that aren't under my control (dammit), but I'd go out there and the guy of my dreams would see me and would not give up until I'd agreed to marry him (which would take him some time as I'm learning to regard myself better than a piece of trash that just falls for any guy who looks twice at her. Don't laugh. It's freakin' painful).

But I may need to work on more than just the weight loss for that to happen. Although I have been reliably informed by some other male friends that my cooking skills alone make me totally marriageable, rofl

Wear ridiculous heels.

Pull the seatbelt snug in my airplane seat, instead of letting it all the way out and praying it will connect.

Oh, and put my own picture up on my facebook profile instead of my beloved, beautiful, photogenic, entirely nonhuman Great Pyrenees.

I want to be a roller derby girl!!! And make my own clothes which I am doing anyway but plus-size patterns are pretty scarce.

I have the same issue. I feel like my tummy is SOO much in the way that it makes it difficult.

I SO agree with this! (Although my biggest fear is silly I'm afraid of crushing him... )

1. Dance in public without feeling sooooo self conscious--I believe lessons will be in order to make this happen

2. Shop at ATL...and be happy with how I look in the clothes
