Things I want for my life

[Gettinsmall 18]

I am getting more and more excited about the end results of this journey I am embarking on. I have always been a large guy with a few moments of moderate weight loss. I keep going through the things I want to do with my new life.

1. Skydive

2. Wake up with energy

3. Buy Cloths that don't have X's in the size

4. Play at the park with my daughter

5: Bend over

6. Not have a need to customize a chair I sit in

7. Not size up the strength of the chair before I sit down in it

8. Have enough room in the small stall of a bathroom to wipe easily

9. Be able to have the toilet paper on the wall hanger in my bathroom

10. Shop for cars easier (I'm 6'5" so this still may be tough)

11. Wake up not in pain

12. Be alive for my daughters graduation, marriage, Life!

13.Ride all the rides at an amusement park, not just the fat friendly ones

14. Be comfortable in a coach seat

15, comfortably keep both arm rests down in a movie theater

16. Be able to clip something to my belt (like a phone at work)

17. cross my legs easily

18. Not have the nick name "Big Guy"

19. Hop a fence

20. Be able to comfortably wear sandals for a day.

So here are 20 of my can't wait to's. What are yours?

love this post....

I want so much in my life, but I think the big one is to find someone who will appreciate the journey I have went on. My husband pased away in 2008 from suicide and I have not dated anyone since. I have always been self-conscious about my weight, but now I am excited at the fact I may be found attractive to someone. My only big goal is that I do not want to change my personality or seem different from weight loss. My crazy ways and attitude is one of the things that have attracted so many people in mylife.

The 2nd would be to wear a bathing suit without a coverup with it lol.

3.I want to walk in a store and n be able to look at the clothes that are in style.

So I am not asking for too much. lol

Awesome post! Let's see ... to buy clothes in a regular store, wear cute rain boots, ride rides with my kids without worrying I won't fit, sit in any chair without worrying, take the stairs, hike and bike with my boys, have the energy to get things done, and go to my next class reunion wearing my senior prom dress!

Have energy after a long day

Feel confident when speaking in front of a large group

It's definitely the little things I look forward to the most. I can relate to pretty much everything all of you have already mentioned. Most of all I'd love to be able to kick these blood pressure meds. At least one of 'em (I'm on two different BP medications). I also wouldn't mind dodging the diabetic bullet that I know has my name on it.

Sophie'sChoice... What does this mean? I am so confused by this sentence.

I feel like you might have left something out - have you ever gone cycling? It's pretty awesome!!

I haven't ridden my bike in 3 years... And now I am DYING TO.

Never a big cyclist however last time I tried to ride a bike was 6 years ago and it was more pain than it was worth. I very much want to be able to cycle with my children. Good call on the cycling.. I need to add it to my 20

[Dragonsmate 107]

I did long-distance cycling years ago and it was exciting and a wonderful way to see the countryside-we have beautiful wildflowers in the spring (albeit, spring in Texas is quite short), and it was a great way for me to decompress and do some positive internal dialogue...not to mention the cute boys in shorts >.>

I did the metric century ride (100 km) for the Hotter than Hell 100, several years ago, and I want to now do the big 100 mile ride.
