NothingUpMySleeve 244 Posted January 25, 2014 I want to take my kids to disneyland and not hide from getting pics with them. I want to take them to a splash park and be the mom in the cute tank and shorts or sundress, not the mom in hot baggy jeans and loose tee. 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet333 386 Posted January 25, 2014 I want to be able to run for miles (accomplished - I can run 3 miles most days without breaking too much of a sweat) I want to buy and wear a 2 piece bathing suit (instead of the mu mus I used to wear) I want to pose and send a Christmas card family picture (usually only the skinny minni's would send these out) I want my kids to be proud of me (accomplished) I want to horseback ride without being ashamed of how hard it was for me to climb up I want to get up easily and jump on the trampoline in my backyard without embarassment I know there are others. I'll keep thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted January 26, 2014 I used to wait in line with my husband and sister for roller coasters, climb in and then back out the other side (1st cuz of my size and 2nd cuz of fear). After losing 100 lbs, I went on my first coaster! Scary stuff but I've been on many since then and I go just BECAUSE I can fit - not really for the thrill!!!

marfar7 1,533 Posted January 26, 2014 Shop at VIctorias Secret!!! I know what Victorias Secret really is: They don't carry anything over a size 4. After losing 100 lbs, in a size 8 I walk into VS with confidence. I then looked around and realized I was still obese by their standards and I couldn't fit into anything there. U can buy a 40D (yes, I'm a 40D on top and a 7/8 on bottom) online but not in the actual store. Rreally embarrassing.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegaBob 46 Posted January 26, 2014 Ditto on the airplane seat and add to it not worrying about fitting into a booth at a restaurant. I made and succeeded in several faintness goals last time I lost a bunch of weight, marathons and 1/2 ironman. My former training partners want me to get back to training for big events. Right now I feel like "been there done that, got a bunch of tee shirts". Now I am more excited about fashionable clothes and hoping people don't see me as a fat guy first and everything else secondary. On that note I can't wait for my weight to not always be on my mind.

pinksjo1 137 Posted January 30, 2014 Removing fear from my life. Fear of breaking patio furniture, Fear of not fitting into airline seats, theatre seats, amusement ride seats. Fear of chairs with arms. Fear of whispers that you can always hear. Fear of always being the biggest person in the room. 1 vdub_tx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
