What's your list?

[coolcrystal 1]

I haven't gotten my lap band yet, but I have dreams of all the things I'll get to do when I do get it. What are some of the things you can't wait to do after you lose your weight; or, if you have lost enough wait to do the things you wanted to do, what was it?

Here's my list:

1. Fit comfortably in a movie seat :clap2:

2. Go to Six Flags again and ride the rides

3. Not feel embarrassed in a plane seat

_ pretty much anything having to do with a seat _

4. Roll over in bed comfortably :notagree

5. Put my shoes and socks on without straining

6. Fingernail polishing my toenails without straining

7. Rollerblade and iceskate again

8. Not have the fear of breaking somebody's chair. LOL

What about you?

#1 tying my shoe laces in the center of my shoes and not to the side.

#2 actually buying clothes that has a #1???? in front instead of 2????

#3 not looking like that lady in that commercial (slim something) when she stop eating bread and so did her DH and he lost and she got larger.

1. Get off all meds

2. Return to drag racing my motorcycle.

3. Start mountain biking.

4. Get to wear some cool clothes instead of the ones from the back of the rack.

5. Live long and retire happy.

Yes, I dislike that commercial too Glo. LOL.

And yes, I should have put the clothes thing on mine too Dave. I sure hate it when the plus size clothes seem to come in the ugliest moo moo crap you've ever seen.. I do tend to find some decent stuff, but when I walk by the 16 and unders I remember the days when I wore the 4-12's and how cute those clothes were..

I went to my grandaughters pre school the teacher asked me to sit down then looked at me pushed the little chair aside and pulled over a bigger chair . I was so embarassed . I'm looking forward to sitting in that little chair and not breaking it.

Okay you asked for it!

1. Not having people look away when I walk by, because they don't want to "stare".

2. Being able to get into any buffet line and not have people watch what I'm putting on my plate.

3. Meeting someone new and not have them assume I'm stupid just because I'm fat.

4. Buying clothes downstairs in a department store (ours all have the Plus sizes upstairs--to give us some exercise I think!!)

I'm just being totally honest with myself and you guys! :bounce:

I was banded in May (a-May-zing bandsters) and we had a started a list back then that was called 100 reasons to lose 100 lbs. It was a great list....lots of rollercoasters, dancing, skirts, shoe tying etc.

You make me want to go back and look again at what was on "My list".

I know one was wakeboarding which I did this summer.

For you future bandsters.....It is sooo worth it! Good Luck!

[coolcrystal 1]

Ugg, I hate the buffet line stares... It makes me always get less though and always throw a salad on there too. LOL

I get paranoid at the grocery store too.. I feel like people are looking in my basket at what I have. I've been known to hide the bad stuff under the good stuff. HA HA..

All of the above. How's about not feeling so bleedin' out of place all the time? Not being the fat chick any longer.

Looking completely fabulous on the back cover of a book.

fitting a normal size towel around my waist

using regular size robes in the haircutting place without having to pin it

it's the little things in life that "get me" and make me happy!
