Joann454 1,329 Posted June 9, 2017 Just booked a trip to St Martin for six months from now. I used to travel a lot but haven't in the last ten years. I didn't realize how much my weight was preventing me from living. 3 njgal, EmScaDem and Apple1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivka7NV 40 Posted June 9, 2017 She would advertise on the web and get listed in workout classes around town. She also taught pole dancing and she taught that too as a form of exercise. You might want to see if there is such a thing in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weight4Me 1 Posted June 12, 2017 This list is great and I have so many of the same items on my list, but you have a few I'm going to add to my list now! We could seriously be friends! I wanted to mention that hot air ballooning is totally not a skinny girl thing to do. I went in October at 300+ (with my 300 lb husband) and floated over the world just the same. It was AMAZING and I can't wait to go back!! 1 EmScaDem reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar42 49 Posted June 13, 2017 Yes I would love to walk in heels again, take the stairs without passing out, go into a store and not have to go the plus size section! 2 Rivka7NV and EmScaDem reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also finding that a lot of my relationship with food is incredibly mental. The first week after my initial Kaiser orentation my emotions swung like a pendulum at the thought of losing essentially my "best friend". So to combat morning the loss of food, I have decided to start a "Skinny List," a bucket list to fulfil missed opportunities. Mainly all of the things I haven't been able to do because of my weight or chose not to do because I was afraid of others judgement. I am just curious if any others have a Skinny List, and what adventures are on it!? ~My Skinny List~ Buy a Bathing Suit without a skirt/shorts Wear said bathing suit to the beach Take a cruise Indoor skydiving Trampoline Park "Run" a 5k Ride in a Hot Air Balloon Go to a spa Water/Jet Skiing Scuba Diving Segway Tour Ice Skating Wear leggings Wear a sports bra Wear Skinny Jeans Wear Shorts Shop anywhere other than LB or Torrid Do Pushups Not be the fat friend Fit in a booth Have a date on New Years Have a Valentine Ride a non-disney roller coaster Not have to use a seat belt extender on a plane Love myself Sent from my SM-N910T using BariatricPal mobile app OMG, I LOVE YOU, this is fantastic. I don't have a "skinny list" yet, but going to make one now. My Skinny list is to wear the 100s of cute ShirtPunch and TeeFury T-shirts I have in three bins. I'm a huge sports fan and have my championship win shirts from the Denver Broncos, Chicago Cubs (I can finally die now with a World Series win) my Pittsburg Penguins shirts. I know it might sound trivial, but literally all I want do is get back into those shirts and my wedding bands. 2 JustJu85 and Sugar42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DedicatedLady 139 Posted June 22, 2017 Things I will do: -Be confident when my fiance dips me in our house when we dance around, no more yelling 'stop! help! police!' (he's an incredible dancer, took lessons for 13 years) -Not crying out bloody murder when he hugs me and picks me up, in fact... I want to be able to run up to him and jump up into his arms and wrap my legs around him!! -Do Pull-ups (like an impressive amount for a girl) -Bust out like 50 push ups without stopping -Do sit ups for days -Run my dog instead of walking her -Fit in all seats more comfortably -Look in the mirror at the smile I always have on, instead of at my waist to check that my outfit looks okay. -Worry that something might go wrong because I'm 'too small' instead of worrying something will break because 'I'm too fat' -All amusement park rides, without fear that the safety handles will break and I'll go flying out. One last weird one I can think of off the top of my head, I want to walk over ventilation grates on the sidewalk, I currently don't because I worry ones going to be positioned weird and I'll fall through. Also, great idea for a post, kudos 2 JustJu85 and Sugar42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
