What do you want to do?

Is there anything you want to do after you lose the weight? Something that you can't or do not feel comfortable doing at your current weight?

lots of things-
tie my shoes without panting
sit on furniture comfortable without fear
buy clothes without going to a specialty shop or paying extra for the plus size
buy clothes that I like instead of buying cause it fits
Be in public without paranoia
do normal things without becoming exhausted
ride at the fair with my son-be able to fit and also to keep him from being the boy with the fat mom
Have people say wow she looks great instead of she has such a great personality or such a pretty face
There is so many more I could name!

Great list!

I agree with so many of them. Here are a few more:
- Not have to look around to see if I am the fatest one in the room.

- When I am in public, feel comfortable eating something and not feel like people are thinking that fat girl should NOT be eating that.

Run into people I have not seen in a long time and have them think I look great instead of worrying about going to parties because I don't like the way I look.

yes! I always hope there is someone at least close to my size whenever I go out. Great list too!

I have another one... where clothes that make me feel sexy (instead of trying to cover myself).

I want to be able to spend time working with my horses without getting worn out.
I want to be able to get on the horse without having to use a step because I can't pull up my own weight.
I want to be able to go rock climbing again.
I want to be able to try on clothes instead of guessing if they'll fit because the dressing room is so cramped or people will see me having to put things back because they don't fit.
I don't want to ever have to sew that one button back on that pops off whenever I sit down!!!!

Magenta, do you ride English? Being in Texas, it's western around here. I have a neighbor who said she will teach me on her English saddle whenever I'm ready. Maybe I will when I get to a size that I won't completely hide the saddle!!!
