So, I was thinking today about all the things I'm excited to FINALLY be able to do again, once I lose these 100lbs holding me back...

1. sit with my legs crossed- WITHOUT having to actually hold my leg up.
2. Get out of the shower, and wrap a "normal" sized bath towel ALL THE WAY around... not just held at the top, while the sides flap open. This might sound weird, but it's one of the biggest motivators for me! I want that towel to cover EVERYTHING.
3. For my bellybutton ring to look good again... you know.. like it did when I got it five years ago.
4. To buy lingerie to wear for my husband.. and KNOW i look good in it.
5. To wear shorts. The real kind, not the ones that go just past the knee.



So, ladies... what are some of the non-scale silly little things you're looking forward to most?

1. I too want the normal sized towel!
2. Being able to wear cute clothes and not having to shop in the plus size section. Especially the PINK line by Victoria's Secret.
3. Not having the tops of my inner thighs rub together.

1. To shop for clothes and not come home empty handed and frustrated.
2. To dance without feeling my legs hurting after just a few minutes
3. To run with my dogs.
4. To have sex in more than one position...(well you asked)
5. To not feel aches after walking on the treadmill.
6. To stop feeling like 'I can't do that" because of my wait...what ever "That" is at the moment.

Having people I've met recently say "I just can't imagine you fat".

1. to know that it doesnt matter what ride, or chair or whatever i sit in... THE BELT WILL FIT..
2. to not care who see's me in a bathing suit
3. to be able to wear a formal gown without worrying about my arms
4. to not get *that* look when i walk in to shops that dont carry my size.. (usually buying presents or stuff for my daughters)
5. to not get "that look" from young skanks at bar's...
6. to not have really hideous men (personality wise) hit on you beacause "your fat, you MUST be desperate for attention"
7. to not be told "wow you would be really pretty if you were skinny"
8. to know that boots will fit me
9. to be able to sit comfortably in a plastic chair without the fear that it will break.
10. to not have to live in fear that if i died tomorrow the poor paramedics/undertaker/pall bearers have to break their backs to carry me

I just don't want my thighs to rub together anymore.


waiting patiently....

To add: the whole thigh rubby thing too
AND to wear a skirt or dress that falls ABOVE my knees.

ohohhhh and HEELS I have not worn any really sexy shoes in a long time
And to go get my hair done and feel that it WILL make a difference.

there are so, so many....
to wear cute clothes
to wear a comfortable bra
to feel sexy again
to not fight with my hubby about the temperature in the house
to be a role model for my niece

So many!

Go on a bike ride with my kids.
Shop in the "nornal" section of a store.
Buying jeans off the table in Sam's Club (where there are no dressing rooms) and saying to myself, "These are size 10 - I am a size 10 - I think I will buy them."
The towel thing.
Not feeling gross in a bathing suit.
Never laying down on the bed to zip a pair of jeans.
Shopping from catalogs that sell normal sizes.
Not feeling sick everytime I walk by a store window and seeing my reflection.
Wearing heels again!
Wearing pencil skirts again!
Lingerie show for my husband.
Being too cold instead of too hot.

Oh, and sitting at a restaurant booth without my boobs taking a seat at the table. Really looking forward to that!

I NEVER want to have to step foot in Lane Bryant again!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that there is a nice store for plus sized woman to shop, but I hate everything it represents to me. It reminds me that I have let myself go, how much I hate not being able to shop anywhere else and just that I'm plain fat.

1. when my belly flappy is gone
2. thighs dont start a fire
3. lose my arms..i call em bat wings
4. to be the size I wore when I got married 19 years ago. size 10
5. not weigh daily..cause I know Im not gaining or losing too much

To not have to ask for a seatbelt extender on an airplane!

"Bat wings"....lol.
Thanks for the laugh Terre

Heck, even when I weighed 130 I was called "thunder thighs". Runs in my family.
I shoulda been a cowgirl, I've always had built in saddlebags.

lol. I swear sometimes if I got to running fast enough and flap my arms fast I could fly

Well mine would have to be to be able to play volleyball next fourth of July at our friends cook out. This year I wanted to so bad but I was scared to because of my weight. Everyone else was "normal size" and then you have me! Oh and to be able to walk around with my husband and have people look at me for another reason then the fact that we are so mismatched. ( He is 6'4" and weighs about 160 soaking wet). Oh and my biggest thing is buying a new wedding dress. I have one already and it fits me now and is beautiful but I want to be able to look at my dad and say I have to go and get a new dress this one is swallowing me!
