to be able to ride roller coasters again. To not need the extension on an airplane. To fit again into some of my favorite clothes.

My size 10 ultra comfy abercrombie and fitch jeans. That's a start. I'm about 20 pounds. away from that. My gorgeous evening gown I only wore once.

Then size 8 bathing suit (bottom) and 14 for my luscious top. I'm about 40 pounds away from that.

Hey - I'm really looking forward to the day I can put on a pair of American Eagle jeans. I've always been a big girl and need been able to fit into the "cool" clothes. For just one time in my life, I want to walk into that store and leave with a pair of jeans. I will cry that day. lol...it's been my dream since I was a freshman in high school. However, I just went to Old Navy today and tried on a size 18. A bit snug (then again they were "short" when I'm quite tall) but I was able to zip them up. I'm getting there. Almost 50 pounds lost! Woooo hoooo!!!

I'm 6 days from being banded and I get so excited when I think of all the things that are going to change for me when I start losing weight.

No more wondering when you meet people if they are judging you by how much you weigh, no more saying no to my kids about going to the lake because I don't want to get in a bathing suit.

I can't wait to be able to go tubing down the river and not worry that my butt won't fit in the tube lol

I will be so excited to not have to shop at a plus size store!!

There are too many things to list on here that I am looking forward to, but you get the point

Just wanted to make sure you know that American Eagle has extended sizes (up to 18) online. The boy fit jeans run big.

Hey! Yes, I know. But I want to actually walk into an American Eagle store and put on a pair of 14 jeans. I don't want to shop online anymore. Too many years of that...now I'm ready to actually buy things that day! I can't wait

Well, I'm not banded yet, but once I do and get this weight moving far away from me......I look forward to so many things....but to list a few:

come off my blood pressure meds and "pre diabetes" meds

NEVER shop in the plus size departments again

feeling a bit more confident when I walk in a room full of people

being healthier

not being "the fat friend" any longer
