10 things I can't wait to do

[Dualstarr 104]

I'm still a little ways out from my surgery (just started the Kaiser options classes) but this morning I was laying in bed thinking of all the things I can't wait to do when I lose weight.

1. Be able to walk through those stupid little turnstyle things

2. Finally be able to stop lying about not liking rollercoasters. I love them..my fat ass just won't fit. Easier to lie

3. No longer have to buy gigantic pads with wings (yeah I know TMI)

4. Be able to buy something from Victorias Secret

5. Be able to shop with friends without having to make a Detour to a "fat store".

6. Not be ashamed to walk though the mall with my bag of clothes...I always hate shopping and having to walk through the mall with a Lane Bryant shopping bag...just screams I'M FAT!!!

7. Be able to put the lap tray down on an airplane

8. Be able to tell people I used to run cross country in high school without them saying "What happened". and actually be able to run again.

9. Sky Dive!!!!!

10. Go out with my "skinny friends" and actually have guys want to talk to me too...and not just to ask me to ask my friend for her number

I love your list --- If I were to make one, several of your items would be on mine. Keep your eye on the prize and good luck to you!!!

Thanks for starting this! My surgery is July 2nd and here are my ten things:

1. Wear all my old favourite clothes in little sizes. I have held on to them for ten years!

2. Have a long, leisurely soak in my RV-sized bath tub!

3. Go on a trail ride. I just couldn't do this to a horse right now!

4. Ride my bike on this special trail we have near my home....it's about three hours on an old rail bed, down-hill through a forest all the way but I don't have the stamina right now.

5. Buy roller skates and use them up and down my back alley!

6. Visit my family in England. The flight and walking around for all the sight-seeing overwhelms me right now--never mind having my family seeing me 100 pounds heavier than my last visit.

7. Have coffee and a good visit with a few ex-boyfriends who remain friends and stay in touch, and don't understand why I avoid them.

8. Order a pile of adorable dresses and cardigans from Modcloth and Anthropologie.

9. Wear my beautiful rings and bracelets again.

10. Buy lots of super-cool antique and vintage clothes, which don't seem to come in plus sizes!

I think I have many more, but that's a good start!

I am looking forward to lots of the things listed above, and will add paragliding, ziplining, and zorbing. There's an adventure sports enthusiast inside of me that wants out!

YES!!!! Ziplining! I have always wanted to try this....That is actually #1 on my list of skinny activites to try...followed by rock wall cimibling,

Love this. The comment about doing that to the horse made me laugh out loud!!! I wanted to do the indoor skydiving when I was in TN. The weight limit for women was 150 pounds. I hope one day I can get there.

1. To be able to walk more easily....improve my mobility!

2. To rock a black dress again, and a red one, and a blue one, and a purple one...you get the idea!

3. To wear my rings again...

4. To have my legs become one of my best features again instead of just hair & teeth

5. To try new things ...confidence & mobility to be able to

6. To go to the 'other' side of clothing stores again and be comfortable regardless of the size

7. To feel more comfortable in my own skin again...regardless of what Mr. scale says

8. To feel like the old & real me again...

9. To hopefully, lower my health risks (lots of bad health issues on both sides of my family) of many problems at my age

10. To have George Clooney, or Joe Manganiello (excuse my spelling), or Vince Vaughn, or John Cusack, or Russell Crowe, or Gerard Butler...fall madly in love with me, of course, and live happily ever after!!! LOL

3. I want to wear a dress and not look like a bell.

4. I want to have clothes that reflect my style and not what I coud find that would fit me.

5. To run in the many marathons in my state. They have a Zombie run that looks awesome!

6. To travel to other countries.

7. To not immediately notice that I am the biggest person in a room, or that people are talking about me.

8. To want to go out and do things, instead of thinking of them as chores.
