Strange, (we're friends so I can call you that, right?) I recently gave away my cane that I had used several times when my knees were really bad. You talking about the walker reminded me of it! I paid big money for that cane because I had to have something super strong to support me! I gave it away to the community yard sale here and just saw someone walking with it a few days ago. How did I know it was mine? I spray painted it hot pink! LOL

LOL Lissa! A girl has GOT to do what she has GOT to do to feel like a girl!

Hey Lissa, sent u a PM. and what is funny is that one of my closest friends has a nephew that calls her "Aunt Crazy", so "Strange" is cool.....but I'm thinkin u already knew that

[StrangelyNormal 182]

ooooh... it would go with my hair! Although it almost looked burgundy in my youtube video

I can't wait til the day I can go to a movie theater and not have to wedge in sideways! I can't wait to have any choice of Halloween costume I want (sexy French maid?) instead of having to be a pumpkin or witch. What is it you can't wait for?

I haven't worn a costume in years and I really miss it! It seems that unless you make an outfit you are expected to be a "sexy something" for Halloween. I can't wait to dress up again. I wanted to dress up as princess peach to my sons Mario this year, but will not stuff myself into those costumes.

I really would love to be a french maid for halloween. I think my guy would love it...That would be a kicker lol.

I love this topic! I can't wait to get off my hbp & diabetes meds. I also hate that CPAP machine...so, I can't wait to get rid of that!!! On a fun note, I can't wait to shop in the juniors section for cute dresses.

Everything seems so surreal!!! June 19th can't come soon enough!

GREAT THREAD!!

YES to everything so far! Plus...

- to weigh less than my husband!!

- not to be embarassingly out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs

- to not sweat so much in the summer

- to see my cheek bones again...I know they're in there somewhere

- to not make jokes about being fat to make others less uncomfortable

- to be comfortable enough to do some "porn star" sex moves with my husband

- to not be the fattest person in the room

- to play on the beach with my kids and not be horribly self conscious

- to renew my wedding vows on my 10th anniversary (Feb 2014) in a sexy, red dress!!

Show horses again

Ski without blowing my knees out

Fit into a few pre-fat clothes sitting in my closet.

Go on the shopping spree that my husband will be paying for...

Crossfit- I really want to do that.

[KSDallas 27]

I can't wait to be able to borrow and share clothes with my two sisters (and not just shoes)

I can't wait to not feel completely self conscious in a bathing suit

I can't wait to see people doing something fun and instead of thinking "I'm too fat to do that" instead thinking "I can do that!"

I can't wait to see people from high school and not be embarrassed by how much weight I've gained in 6 years

I can't wait to love myself enough that I can let other people love me

I can't wait til the day I can go to a movie theater and not have to wedge in sideways!

Ditto! I have been telling my son we will wait for the dvd just because it is so painful to sit in the theaters narrow seats. All he wants is to see a movie at the theater with his Dad. I just can not break it to him it is because Dad is to big to fit in the seats, it sucks. But, I am in the program and soon will have the help I need. Then the day will come.

[Gastricsleeve4me 186]

I can't wait to go on a date and not worry that the guy will be disappointed when he sees me in person!

Oh man that was me every time!! I'd message them before hand and be like well.. I'm fat so don't be surprised. Haha

[Patrick Curl 424]

I can't wait for...

- Solve some of our fertility issues.

- Being able to ride a roller coaster.

- Being able to simply shower without throwing my shoulder out trying to get clean.

- Being able to ride a bike again.

- Being able to join some type of competitive sport league to keep me physically fit -- I'd love to do competitive dodge ball, or Mixed Martial Arts..

- Being able to shop in a normal store (not since I was 10-11).

- Being able to "suit up" as Barney Stinson (how i met your mother) would say, and look sleek and professional.

- Being able to go to the theatre - My wife and I really want to see Wicked - but the seats aren't accomodating. Told her to go without me, but she refuses. It's coming to Dayton for a 1-2 week engagement this month. -- I won't make it to this one, but next big production that comes through - we will be there.

- My weight presses up on some nerves in my arm - and I get numbness/tingling in my arm because of it .. I think it's Thoracic Outlet syndrome - yeah - to not have that anymore..

- To be able to walk/stand and talk with someone without excruciating back pain and constant thought of "will this conversation ever end? I need a freaking CHAIR now!"

- Being able to travel again - I haven't even attempted to get on an airplane since I was 18.

- and much much more...

[Patrick Curl 424]

oh, I forgot the biggest reason - so little kids stop staring at me and saying 'Mom, that guy is so Fat'... that really hurts, and ticks me off. On the one hand I know they're just kids but on the other I feel like their parent should apologize for not teaching them manners...
