Wow I share so many of the goals everyone has listed! I didn't realize others might be longing for the same "little" things I was

-A normal sized towel! How amazing would that be?
-To not have to immediately search at the back of the rack to see if they carry XL sizes
-To squeeze between chairs in a dining area or rows between theater seats with ease
-To make it up 1 flight of stairs without being out of breath
-To order a healthy meal and look forward to it!
-To wear a skirt without fear of chaffing
-To not be the "chubby" friend
-To fit into a pair of knee high boots and rock them during the winter time!

Chaffing! I forgot about that one. Actually, that's a huge goal of mine. I finally plucked up the courage to wear skirts after years of self-consciousness only to find I chaff horribly. And shorts just get eaten by my thighs.

I love the one about not having to dive to the back of the rack or the bottom of the pile looking for an L+ !

In fact, it would be amazing to be able to think to myself, "hmm, this might look better in the next size up," and 1)Not want to cry; and 2)Actually have a higher size to try on!

*I want to be able to walk in to a crowded movie theater/lecture hall/ restaurant/meeting room and not automatically head for the back row because I'm paranoid about what the people sitting behind me are saying about my butt hanging over the side of the seat or the bunches my bra straps are causing all across my back.

*I want to be able to shower with my fiance' in my tiny corner shower without worrying that I'm going to go flying out the shower door....again

* I want to skydive.. they don't let the fat chicks jump out of planes :-/

Maybe they're afraid we won't pull the ripcord. LOL but in all seriousness the thing this that makes me angry is that men who weigh more than me can skydive but women can't. It's like there are men's chutes and women's chutes and ours don't hold more than 200 pounds or something. Sorry ~ mini rant over. I'm in a bad mood this morning.

So ~ another goal is to to start jogging and find a good bra to do it in. It's hard to find really big jog bras.

I've read through all of these post a couple of times trying to think of what random goal I want most. This might seem silly because I've seen women of all shapes and sizes wearing shorts or tank tops in summer but I could never bring myself to do so. Middle of summer 100+ degrees and I'd have on pants and a t-shirt, I don't want to give a second thought to slipping on some cute shorts and going to the park with my kids.

I want to be out of plus-sized clothing! I'm always just at the cusp of it. I wear 18 or 20 plus. I want to wear at least an 18 regular. That is my first goal.

[southernbelle102]

Totally random but I am able to wear my high-school ring for the first time since high-school My fingers have gone down 3 sizes!!

[MissSMcC]

i want my bmi to be low enough so it doesnt come up in red when the doctor types it into his computer!

Love those! As they say, looking good is the best revenge

I hadn't realized how many little odd desires I have lurking at the back of my mind until I read through this thread!

- I really, really want to be able to 'break up' with Lane Bryant. My eventual goal is to shop at Target or Kohl's - they have the cutest clothes that DON'T cost an arm and a leg!

- My MIL is a Size 0 (siiigh!). I want to be able to hug her without feeling like I'm trying to absorb the woman, darnit.

- Much agreed on DH being able to pick me up! Also, we renew our vows in a little under 2 years and I would love a Hollywood kiss without being scared to death of falling on my butt like a beached whale

- Crossing my legs comfortably. I can do it right now but it feels like I'm giving myself a tush workout in the process because I have to squeeze my muscles so tight to prevent my leg from slipping off the other!

- My boss and I have a really good relationship, and I usually stand at the door of her office and chat for a bit every morning. She's tall and slim - I REALLY want to be able to stand there confidently without feeling the need to self-consciously cross my arms over my chest and mentally squeezing myself into a smaller space.

- My BFF just got WLS. Maybe it's just a pride/envy thing but I am so wanting to keep one step ahead of her on the scale with good healthy food and hard work .. Sorry, I know that sounds a little mean!

- LOL, DH's cousin just started dating this girl that really, only HE likes... nobody else in the family is very fond of her. She thinks the world of herself, and since they've started dating she has put on quite a few pounds - she is lighter than me still, but doesn't carry her weight very well. And the last time I saw them, he couldn't stop commenting about how different I'm starting to look - she didn't like it very much! I really want to keep getting her goat by doing awesome on this journey xD

Boy I feel good to have gotten some of those off my chest LOL. Hey, I channel my energies differently than some people, I admit it
