Default I Can't Wait Until...

I was thinking about goals and this thread yesterday and couldn't find it to revive it, so I thought I'd start it again.

I can't wait until...

I sit and my elbows don't hit rolls of fat
I can put on size 10 pants
I get to the 50% mark on my weight goal

I can't wait until my boobs don't have a shelf to rest on when I sit down(i.e. my stomach).
I can't wait until I can see cheekbones/collarbones. I'll take either.
I can't wait until I can officially say I've lost 20lbs.

I could go on forever with a ton of these, but the ones that I'm thinking about most right now:

I can't wait until my "small" jeans fit me. And that skirt I have that I can't remember ever wearing.

I can't wait until I've lost 15kg and can say I'm halfway to goal (even if I change the goal!)

I can't wait until I'm no longer classified as obese or overweight with those darn BMI charts, even if they are inaccurate.

I can't wait until I can choose any item in any store and at least one of the sizes will fit me.

I can't wait until I'm taller (hey we can dream right :P)

I too can't wait until I'm classified under the "normal" BMI.

I can't wait to see what I look like when I lose 20 more pounds. (20 pounds ago to now was a night and day change! I can't wait to see what happens next!)
I can't wait until I can wear a bikini and feel like a total hottie.
I can't wait until I can say my size M belt is too big for me. (I shrunk out of my XL belt! )
I can't wait until I'm a size 6.
I can't wait to go clothes shopping when I get to my goal weight.
Obviously: I can't wait to reach my goal weight!

I can't wait until I lose the next 23 lbs. (it was 25, but I losted 2 over the last 2 weeks)

I can't wait until I get into the next size down jeans.

I can't wait until I can celebrate holidays with food again. I am struggling already with wanting to bake stuff and knowing if it is here and made, I'll eat it. I'm gonna have to do all my holiday baking the week before we go on our trip to see the fam.

-I fit back into some of my favourite old jeans and skirts
-My current wardrobe is way too big and I have an excuse to go shopping for more clothes
-Someone calls me "tiny"
-I feel properly skinny and thin, not just "somewhat slender"
-my thighs don't look so fat to me when I sit down

Yep, waiting for alll of that to happen!

I can't wait...
...to see what i look like at a normal weight. (i've been fat since i hit puberty so i have no idea what i'll even look like when i'm thin)
...until i don't have to go to the plus size section of a store to look for clothes.
...to have an noticeable waist.
...until i melt some of this fat away so people can see all the muscles i've built with my strength training.
...for the time when i'm not embarassed to step on the scale when other people are around.
...until i can wear a swimsuit and not see folds of fat.
...for my ex and everyone who ever told me i would never loose the weight to see me when i hit my goal.

I can't wait until ...

I am not worried about getting thrown off an airplane for being too big.
I am able to ride high speed roller coasters with the restraints that don't fit me now.
I do not automatically grab the largest size when clothes shopping.
until I am not embarrassed to be seen eating in public.
My blood pressure is down to where the doctor does not want to see me every 30 days.

This. People are making comments now, but I'm really looking forward to seeing their faces -- especially the ones who doubted me or thought I wasn't serious, or made comments to me last year. If they think I'm finished losing, then they haven't seen anything yet!

I'm no longer obese (until I started this journey I never realized I was 45 pounds overweight)

I'm skinnier than my boyfriend (he is taller than me, and 20 pounds lighter even though he has gained a lot of weight lately)

to see what I look like thin

to say "I did it"

To get past the current phase of weight loss that has me freaking out. I don't really even want to leave the house. I was bordering on a panic attack at Wal-Mart, of all places.

There's definitely something psychological at this weight range. I got to 272 about 4 years ago and simply gave up. That's not an option this time.
