What Will You Enjoy, Once You're At Your Goal Weight??

Just for a bit of motivation, i often think of things i will enjoy, when i'm at my goal weight.

My list is

• Going to Jungle Gyms, activity centres and playgrounds with my son and having fun, withut worrying i'll break something if i go on it with him.
• Answering the phone without the person on the other end saying..."Are you ok, you seem out of breath!?!"
• Going shopping and buying a top because i like it, not just because its the only top in my size.
• Not buying an item of clothing because i didn't like the colour instead of it just not fitting me.
• Not having to place a cushion over my tummy, to hide it, everytime i sit down on the sofa.

Anyone else want to join in?

everything!  everything is so much better.  it's a whole new life.  living better, breathing better, compliments galore...

i like being able to squeeze in around people where i couldn't before.  you know, to reach the chips at parties & stuff.  LOL

i always hated clothes shopping & it's fun now. 

sometimes, now, when i go grocery shopping with my daughter, we can both go through the door together instead of one at a time.  that's so weird!

AND no more blood pressure pills!  ;)

i dunno.  i could just go on & on...

I can't wait to:

• Dress like a skank at Halloween
• Wear my first bikini...ever
• Dance without feeling self-conscious about jiggling
• Not be embarrassed to order food for several people (I worry that they think I'm eating all of it myself)
• Wear skinny jeans
• Wear some boots that go to the knee that don't feel like they're cutting off my circulation
• Stop worrying so much about diabetes and high cholesterol (it runs in my family)

And much more...I can't wait

I'll enjoy me. <3

I have always been slighltly heavy and i crave to wear

1) a bikini

2)and  pants that fit off of my natural hips - not the weight on them

Dress like a skank at Halloween

Same here, lol. I want to be the naughty girl scout or the sleazy sailor girl :P

• Being able to actually play tag with my little cousins
• Going into a store like Old Navy, Gap, etc. and wearing their clothes(most of the females' clothes stop at size 14 or maybe a 16)
• Not having to wear a bigger shoe size since my foot is too wide
• Going to a water park and not wear a pair of shorts and t-shirt since I feel uncomfortable
• Being able to run a mile without stopping
• Wearing something because I like it, not because it was the only one in my size
• Being able to try on clothes with my friends and not feel like a cow

Can't wait!

Or the sprayed on kitty or devil outfit.

Sounds like fun!  or perhaps we could all just meet at  Victoria's Secret and buy out the store!!!

i always want to be a catwoman for halloween:)

when i lose the weight i will be able to wear all my skinny clothes again:)

I look forward to the day I start enjoying clothes shopping. I hate it now since nothing really looks good on me. (5'2 and 220) I also look forward to going back to Old Navy, Gap and etc.

I cannot wait to fit in my old clothes again and I hope to be able to pull off skinny jeans once I get to my gw.

Good luck to you all!!

- The clothes! And wearing a bikini proudly.

- Not having to adjust my position/posture to make myself look thinner

- Not cringing every time I see a gross photo of myself on facebook

- Knowing that I have finally achieved something that has plagued me for so many years.

I understand that sentiment completely. I use to make it my mission in life to discover how to sit, walk, eat, and dress in a ways that hid the fat. It's so much easier to actually lose the weight than suck it in 24/7.

I can't wait to be able to shop in a mall department and not see any other customers give me the "what is she doing here, there's no size above zero" look.

I'll actually let my photographer friend include me in her shoots.

And if I can get down to 145 by halloween I'm sooooo sexing my costume up!

What a good idea! Just thinking about some of the things I don't/can't/won't do now that I would totally do once I lose weight!

First and foremost, I would sit on my boyfriend's lap!  He always wants me to, but I'm so afraid I will hurt him, or hurt myself trying not to hurt him... that I won't.

Secondly, I will walk/run as fast as my puppy wants to around the neighborhood on our walks.

Thirdly, I will not make my friends ride in the "modified seating" sections of rides at Universal Studios.

Fourthly, I won't list my eyes or smile as my favorite body part! It'll be my waist, my stomach, my legs, my butt... something physical!

Lastly,  I will consider myself one of the pretty girls, not just one of the pretty-heavy-set-girls!

Aah... there have to be more, but that was fun for now! :)

Back to studying for this chica!

ooooh there's a question! I cant wait to:

• wear my sexy summer clothes again
• get into my skinny jeans
• showing off my skinny legs in a short skirt!
• buying a really nice bikini - I've only ever had bikini tops and covering shorts...
• letting my boyfriend give me piggy backs, i hate being picked up because I feel so heavy

I might write these down somewhere near the fridge! lol

Not having to hide behind my group of skinny friends when a pic is taken so that only my head and shoulders are seen

Taking out my skinny clothes again that at the moment I don't even think would fit over my thigh (and those are the tops I am talking about)

Feeling even better about me!

not having to adjust my shirt just to look less fat

This is a great thread.  It kinda makes you visualize your future success, doesn't it?  So here's my list.  When I hit my goal weight, I'm going to be:

• Indulging in some full-blown narcissism.  That includes doing my hair and makeup and dancing around naked in front of a mirror, blowing kisses.
• Getting compliments from coworkers who had/have no idea I'm on a diet (I only mentioned that I've quit soda for good).
• Putting my navel ring back in (I had to take it out because it would hurt against any waistbands).
• Never having any pain below my right breast because it was too heavy for the muscle to hold up right.
• Being able to shave my legs more easily because there'll be less of them there.
• As jsew22 said, sitting in my boyfriend's lap! And going out with him knowing he has a bombshell on his arm that he's so proud of.
• Wearing tight shirts and low-rise pants.
• Having TONS of energy because I'm 90 lbs. lighter!
• GOING SWIMMING and not feeling like everyone's looking at me - or if they are, that they're looking at me for the RIGHT reasons.
• Being able to see my ex by accident without thinking that he's just congratulating himself on breaking up with me "before she got fat."

...and though I'm not entirely proud of this one, I'm looking forward to feeling a little smug about my happiness with my body when I'm around one of my friends.  The kind of teeny-tiny friend who always bemoans how fat she is even though she IS my goal weight.  But every time she's out to eat with us, or whenever she talks about how she needs to lose such and such bodyfat %, it feels like a dig at me.  She says she's overweight at 90 lbs. smaller than me, but says I'm not fat when her comments start to get me down and I voice my frustrations with myself.  I know it's not her intention to hurt me, but it does.  I've NEVER been down to her weight at an adult height.  It's to the point that I hate going out to eat with her, or start feeling a combination of jealousy and smugness when she orders dessert at a restaurant.  It's like if I lose the weight, I'll be able to just be her friend - not be her fat friend.

Good Health

- not having people assume that I am not a serious long distance runner b/c of my body 

- fitting into all my old clothes well, fitting into new clothes and having it look good

- being able to run for long periods effortlessly

- being healthy 

- being able to fit into my mother's tiny rings. 

this list has made me so excited!

of course, i can't wait of the clothes.  of course, i'd love to wear a bikini or a slutty halloween costume.  but i've got to agree with the girls who say boy-related things.  i love being picked up.  i don't even let anyone try!  lol.  and as terrible as it sounds, i'm back in my hometown and occassionally i'll run into one of those "mean girls" that were super pretty and thin back in the day.  some were awful to me.  i'd like to be thinner than them :D  or at least not be the same girl they used to make fun of.  it's not really about them, it's about me in my skin.
