Bucket List..What's been added since WLS?

[Kiara5244 62]

So my bucket list was pretty boring and simple before I even thought I would be able to lose weight! I hoped for common things like:

1. Getting out of debut
2. Advance in my career
3. get my dream car
4. blah
5. blah
6. blah

But now that I have started dropping some lbs I feel inspired and I now dream of doing sooo much more like:

1. Finally learn to swim (i was never comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit or want someone to have to carry my fat behind out of the Water if I drowned)
2. I want to take a pole dancing class
3. Travel overseas (not seat belt extension)
4. run a marathon
5. ride a rollercoaster (before I could never fit into the seats of the seat belts were too small)

My list goes on and on with each passing day

So what are you dying to do before you die now that you have started or completed your weight loss journey?

Good question!!! I'm now designing a life which more closely reflects my personal values and desires. That's my whole bucket list I guess.

1) travel over seas

2) roller coaster

3) run a marathon

4) go on a cruise

5) shop petite pretty clothing

6) get down to 125

The first thing on my bucket list was kicking the bucket down the road. Got that done, should have been dead years ago, prostate cancer. Losing the fat helps.

I now ride the roller coasters, buy clothes without trying them on, unabashedly go shirtless, run, laugh, smile, enjoy living.

The rest requires money to do but I have already covered the important stuff.

World travel, buying wife a great home, cruises, giving larger to charities.

I would like to add go camping in the Adirondacks! A lot of my friends have been before but I know you need to have a certain level of fitness to be able to hike through the mountains.

To dance with joy and not care if anyone is looking.. oh wait I already do that! hmmmm, it may look better when i am skinny and healthy!

Amen, my list is getting more adventurous as well. Love the pole dancing as well. I am going to add that to my list.

Welcome, Jed121!

Being nervous about the operation just means you are human and realize what it is. I was nervous, too. I calculated the risks, both immediate and long term. Getting the operation won out over continued obesity and poor health.

I calculated correctly. If I had stayed the way I was I would not likely be here to type this message.

You must decide for yourself. Research helps doubts. All my best to you!

It's funny. I woke up this morning thinking about what I will be able to do once I unload this weight. I have just started my journey. I had my first Dr. appt yesterday. Lots of tests scheduled. I'm done with the first month of supervised diet but I'm not following it right now. That is about to change. I'm starting to take this seriously. My head is slow to react, but it's getting on board.

Some of the things I am planning to do once the lbs are gone:

Dance!

hike

ride my bike

go to festivals

resume doing seminars

climb a ladder and do stuff

lots more ...

Above all, I will be able to take control and be who I am supposed to be. No more excuses. I'll be free!!!

Now that I am sleeved and have lost close to 30 lbs. I have a ton on my bucket list but my first is to learn to surf!

[Heather_Feather 24]

I just want to be spontaneous! I'm an adrenaline junkie!!

[slvrsax 301]

At the 100 lb mark I'd like to:

Get a tattoo

Have budoir photos taken for my hubby

Zipline (I'm doing this on Sunday even though I'm a bit early because the opportunity presented itself)

[skylarkx 69]

On my list is:

A cruise

Ride rides at an amusement park with my grandson

A train ride out west

A pair of wranglers and a pair of red cowboy boots!

And much much more!

Love love love this thread!
