What are you most looking forward to?

[Lily]

It occurred to me today that there were lots of things, apart from the obvious ones of looking better in my clothes and being healthier, that I was looking forward to when I've lost weight.

For example, I'm looking forward to:

Being able to put tights on! (even socks can be a struggle at the moment, LOL)

Being able to get out of a public toilet cubicle (especially those in pubs--why are they so small?!) without having to back up alongside the toilet (yuck!) in order to open the door.

On the theme of public toilets, being able to sit down on one without my hip touching the sanitary towel bin (hate that!)

So, come on. There must be lots more...

not having to squeeze out of the car if your in a narrow space, or like me can't park to save ya life

 

[kikuka]

Fitting in the tiny plastic chairs budget hotels use by the pool!

 

[tarlton]

Being able to go SALE shopping because all the smaller sizes are left.

 

[Lilly]

Hello my namesake!!

Having confidence!!! And obviously buying smaller size clothes!!

 

[poohbearmufc]

Funnily enough when I lost weight the beginning of the year, the sales that I went to only had the larger sizes - isn't that bloody typical!!!

Anyway. I am looking forward to the following, are you ready cos it is a bit of a list:-

Being Healthy
Being sexy/feeling sexy
Having more self confidence
Being able to buy clothes from normal shops
To be able to buy sexy matching underwear
To reduce my body fat and BMI
To be normal, not tagged obese or overweight
To be a yummy mummy
To be me
To learn portion sizes/healthy food
To be a healthy mum and be around for George longer
To not be the fat mum at the gates at school
To not be looked at in a normal shop by the shop assistants, with a look as if to say you wish!!
To wear a really sexy dress this christmas and have everyone say WOW with my new look..
To help other people lose weight and achieve their goals...

I think that is it for now... will update if I think of any others...

Love

Oh wow!

I identify and agree with all of these! This is really motivating.

I thought of a few more...

Not causing a small earthquake when I turn over in bed

To go swimming and not care what people think (I know I shouldn't care now, but I do!)

To be able to walk up three flights of stairs and not be out of breath (I work on the third floor and the lift's out of order right now...:cry

Please--keep them coming! I think I'm gonna make up a big list of all these to look at when I'm in need of a pick me up!

To not have your legs rubbing together in the hot weather.. (or is that only me...)
To maybe wearing a bikini next summer
To fit into an airline seat
To be able to eat something naughty without people staring
To take a wolfwhistle instead of shouted comments

 

[chicken on a mission]

Being able to fit my bum into the saddle that fits my horse.

Being more flexible so that I can ride better.

Having a smaller belly that doesn't wobble over the top of my low waist trousers so my trousers don't fall down

Feeling like I am setting my 5 year old daughter a good example of what a healthy body looks like.

No, it's not just you :sigh:

Between that and not being able to get my tights on, I can't remember when I last wore a skirt, LOL.

 

[Eclipse]

Toilet cubicles are extremely small, there's not a lot of room to move around, I have found that it is STILL difficult despite losing weight!

Damn!

Oh well.

Today, I'm looking forward to...

...much smaller, sexier knickers! (no more granny-pants, LOL!)

 

[LisaL]

I'm looking forward to feeling a lot more confident! What a great thread!

 

[Hedgemag]

I want to able to go through a turnstyle with out worrying that I might get stuck.
I don't want to have to use the seat belt extension on a plane.

 

[Angelchops]

I am looking forward to:-

Nice underwear
Being able to go swimming without worrying
Being able to wear whatever I like from wherever I like
Not standing out - I want to blend into the background and its impossible at this size
Not feeling that my husband and children are ashamed to be seen with me (I KNOW full well that they love me, but it doesn't stop me worrying)

Probably a million more things, and I will add them as I think of them.

 

[corinne_j]

All of the above, but most of all I'm looking forward to wearing my dream wedding dress next May.

 

[Dobbie]

getting undressed in front of BF (or have him undress me :giggle with the light on because I'll no longer be worried about my 'crumpet' bum!!

I'd love to be able to get back into my wedding dress. :sigh: Soon, right?

I'm loving all these ideas. You guys are great. I'm struggling a bit today (Day 5 SS) and this is really helping me to stay focussed!

More, please!
