Default Crazy things we look forward to:

You know what I really look forward to? It's so odd! Ready?

I can't wait for my clothes to weigh less! Is that strange or what? I feel like my closet rod is going to bust because my clothes are so heavy right now and smaller clothes weigh less, right?

What really odd things are you looking forward to?

This isn't too crazy, pretty normal actually, but I can't wait to wear a bikini...or even a one piece, and feel comfortable in it.

And (risque TMI alert) I am looking forward to being able to leave the lights on, if you know what I mean, hehe.

Im excited to look for clothes in the "medium" section instead of "large" at TJ Maxx, lol.

I guess those aren't too weird. Oh, this one is kind of weird. I'm looking forward to seeing if my ring size changes at goal weight, hahaha. I don't think my fingers are that chubby, but I've lost flab from some weird places, so I don't know.

My odd thing I'm looking forward to is being about 100 lbs less than hubby! Odd I'm know. He is a tall -well built (thin and muscular) guy and I used to always feels so small by him. Now I just feel short and round!

Ladies leave the LIGHT ON NOW! Trust me the guys dont see the flab and flaws we worry about.

I look forward to not having that weird 'drop towel, jump in pool' thing going on. I'm excited to put my towel/clothes on a chair and walk over to the pool, then slowly get in.

I'm also looking forward to putting all my clothes on the top rack in the closet... Since my clothes got bigger, they also go longer and I had to readjust the closet rods... as I lose weight, more clothes fit on the top rack!

Just wait until you have to pack a relatively small suitcase!! Smaller clothes make a gigantic difference.

Haha, one of the weird things I'm looking forward to, oddly enough is.. wearing layers in the fall. I usually don't like to do too many layers because I always feel like it makes me look bigger..
One thing I noticed when I was at my lowest weight, 143, that my thighs didn't really get in the way when I was walking lol, it's like I had a fast stride with less the effort. The other things I look forward are really like, pulling off a lot of vintage-inspired looks.. I have the curves but I want to be smaller.

Thinnerbyjuly - totally agree, my guy is the same.. he thinks my belly is cute.. lol.

Wow I will be able to carry on my luggage!! I never thought of the reason I have to have such a large suitcase is because my clothes are so large! Seriously...I always wondered how people got by with such a little amount of clothes! OH my goodness...this makes so much sense!!

My dh is can't see with his glasses off...so lights on or off doesn't make a difference...except the lights are off cuz it is better for the electric bill

Ah yes, the layers. I used to layer. Now I feel like I have enough bulk.

I did an 11 day trip to Europe with a backpack and a carry-on. It can be done when the clothes are littler!

My husband too!! LOL! Oh, I'm so glad you mentioned that! I forget that! I really don't have to worry about him. He tells me that all the time...but sometimes it takes a woman saying it for me to really get it. Thank you!

Mine's not that weird, but I'm working at the beach this summer (literally, on the beach, putting up umbrellas and what not) and I'm really excited to love being in a bikini! I've never been so overweight that I won't wear a bikini, but I've always been kinda self-concious. I'm excited to put on my kini and not even look at myself in the mirror cause I know i'll look good
