This is my favorite thread! I feel exactly the same way on just about everything you all listed. Here's my list:

To feel attractive and to fall in love again (hopefully for good this time!) I avoid men like the plague because I can't imagine anyone falling in love with me looking like this.

Get rid of ALL of my fat clothes!

To wear my jewelry

To walk with confidence

To wear sun dresses and spaghetti strap tops!

I want to be social and outgoing again

I want to "turn heads" for the right reasons, not because I'm fat

To prove my family wrong, that getting the VS is the right thing for me to do

And last but not least, to make my son proud of me

Here's my list............
1. Sit on an airplane - and trying to hide the fact by putting a jacket on my lap - so the flight attendant won't realize that the seatbelt isn't buckled.

3 Ride the zipline on Fremont Street in Las Vegas - weight limit is 230....I have a ways to go.
4. Not have to jiggle the booth away from me to make it so I can breathe!
5. Not having to go through my clothes every morning - struggling to find something that fits.
6. Driving by the grocery store - without thinking about stopping to get a "goodie" for the night.
7. Not having to maneuver into my truck so much - in order to "get comfortable."
8. Riding a bicycle - I would just be so embarrassed right now.
9. Going to the gym regularly - without being embarrassed.
10. And the biggest thing - breaking the cycle that was set by my Mother, my Grandmother, my Great Grandmother - I refuse to be the next generation of overweight women in my family. The buck stops here!
