I am looking forward to not having to take blood pressure pills everyday.
I am looking forward to finally shopping at the Gap and Old Navy.
I am looking forward to swimming again with just the bathingsuit not the T-shirt that covers it up and the suit. Finally I am looking forward to seeing the real me, you know the me that is on the inside that keeps trying to surface but can't because the Fat chick on the outside keeps pushing me back with hotwings and cheesecake. LOL

TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

I'm really looking forward to getting my heel/ankle better, although my weight isnt the cause of the injury. I just want to be able to go out and exercise like I used to be able to (even 12 months ago at the same weight!).

Buying clothes in normal shops. Having a black tie function to go to and not feeling physically sick at the thought of finding something to wear.

im looking forward to be seen as a normal person, walking into any shop and ahve clothes fit me, running after my 4 kids, swimming at the beach, going out for social functions, and just to get some self esteem back and feel good about the way i look.

I'm looking forward to sitting in my lawn chairs without having ME hanging over the sides of the chair.

Form fitting clothes would be nice :D instead of tents.

JUST PLAIN OL FEELING GOOD !!!

I want to roller blade with my sons, ages 23,25,27. I never got to do anything fun because I have always been horizontally challanged. I hate the word OBESE!!! I also have grandkids that are little, 10 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 9 years. My 9 year old grandson thought when I got back from TJ, that I wouldn't be Fluffy (his way of saying fat) anymore, He was disapointed when I got home. I hope he will enjoy me better in a few months.

I want to go to my 10 year high school reunion lookin' good (still a few years off, but a long standing dream of mine). I want to weigh less than my boyfriend! I want to scuba dive with less than 15 lbs on my weight belt. And I want to cosplay at a convention (maybe next summer, but probably the one after, and yes, I'm a geek).

:D
