Most of my friends would say that this is looooooooooong overdue.

One of the questions that I was asked was "How do you think your life will change if you lose the weight?" I guess I answered it correctly because she said she was approving me. But I have been thinking today:

How will my life change if I lose this weight?

I hope that I will be able to:

1. Walk without pain. (the main goal!)

2. Sit in a booth and not have to shove the table closer to my skinny kids so I can breathe.

3. Be able to bend over and tie my shoes without peeing a little.

4. Hell, be able to actually bend over and REACH my shoes.

5. Hug my husband and have his hands be able to touch behind me.

6. Wear clothes that don't have an X in the size.

7. Use a towel in a hotel on vacation and have it actually wrap more than half way around my body.

8. Tuck a shirt in.

9. Fit in an airline seat.

10. No longer have nightmares about being cut out of a turnstyle with the Jaws of Life.

11. Wear jeans so tight I can't put my credit card in my back pocket.

12. Take off my wedding ring without using dish soap.

13. Walk up the 3 steps into my house and not have to take a rest to catch my breath.

14. Burn my handicapped parking tag!

15. Use regular sized hangers for my shirts.

16. Get my picture taken with Donald Duck and look smaller than him.

17. Buy some really cute nighties :wub:

18. Buy bras and undies in something other than industrial grade white cotton.

19. Remember what I looked like with only ONE chin.

20. Be less of a person physically, but still the same great wife, mother and friend. :wink:

This is a great list. You will get there!

Good ones! You'll be able to check all of those off, plus some!!
