Dang, if you all look the responses are VERY similar. So, its important for us each to realize that we're not alone out there. There is someone else who is afraid that they'll break that very same chair.

I see everyone's list and it makes me want to add to mine. I've gotten so used to being "big" and have adapted my life to that that postband and postweightloss is really gonna take some getting used to "fitting in" -you know??!!! But yeah most importantly I want to be healthy. I want to live....I'm only 25 I have a LOT left to do and see!!!!!

I did want to add something else to the list:

There is a paint ball maze near my house. I have wanted to go to that FOREVER but have always been afraid to go because I don't want to get there and them not have a suit to fit me...HOW EMBARRASING that would be....so hopefully next summer I can go do some paintball fun!!!

1) Be Healthy enough to have a normal, not high risk pregnancy and be able to keep up with my future kids

2)Have my extended family think "damn what did she do to look so good: when they see me in my wedding dress and not think, "hmmm she looks like a giant white tent..." (wedding June 20th 2009)

3) My sex drive is already pretty high, but i would like to be able to try some new positions...

4) Be smaller than my future DH

5)Be able to play in they yard with our dog and not be winded after five mins

6) Not think my Dad whom I love very much is thinking fat daughter, skinny daughter every time he looks from me to my sister ( she is beautiful Brown1 hair, Blue Eyes, 5'0", Full B cup, 115# soaking wet... you know the type...:biggrin:

7) Get rid of my "Never Trust a Skinny Cook" Tee

8) Not mentally evaluate every chair,booth seatbelt, stair case, door frame, barstool, bed frame, etc. that comes my way...

9) Wear they short skirts of my youth... while I have always been big i used to carry all of it in my stomach leaving me very beautiful trim legs, my fat has now found a new home at the top of my thighs

10) Feel sexy in my lingerie

I live in Montana and there are thousands of beautiful places to hike and camp. My husband really wants me to go camping with him, but I WON'T because I can't poop in the woods without falling backwards!!! Trust me, I've tried. So, that's MY tres glamourous goal. I have others, but that's the one that will bring tears to my DH's eyes.

All the mentioned ones plus be able to get together with my sisters and not get a bunch of diet advice from 5 of the 6 (one other is fat too) and I don't know why no one else mentions this big I want to be able to wipe my butt with doing acrobatics. ESp hard on small toilets like in the camper, on plains etc. Am I the only one withthat problem?

Oh I love this.

If I wasn't BIG and had a cute little body like some of my friends...

I would do so much sin! Seriously. I love sex, but am not comfortable enough in my fat skin to be able to really enjoy myself without fearing I will injure my man!

I would dress better and FEEL better.

I could quit pretending that I don't like amusement parks and roller coasters, when the reality is that I just fear I won't fit in the seats or that I will break the ride!

I would go out more.

I would date more - now whenever a guy shows interest I feel like its a joke and they are just trying to make fun of or humiliate the 'fat girl'... like when I was back in Jr. High.

I would have gone to college right out of high school instead of letting my insecurities rule my life.

..

I'll probably think of more later...

I absolutely refuse to go in the "small" stalls in public restrooms. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY no room!

LOL, that's funny. I was in a public restroom today and went into a regular stall and thought to myself that I needed to added "not having to use the handicap stall" to my list!

Seriously, I'd have stripped for a while and put myself through med school. In a high class, high dollar club.

LOL, I did that in my early 20's (25 years ago), had a good time, made a lot of money. Might even have done it again if I were young and had the body for it but those days are over.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
