I have been thinking about this for myself, and thought it may be fun to see what others are planning too.

3 things I can't wait for are:

1. To wear sleeveless shirts again!

2. To be able to shop in the Jr's section again, and not the "plus" size section!

3. To maybe wear a bathing suit in front of my hubby! Probably not in public, but just at home.

How about you all? What 3 things are you looking forward to?

Good ones, Lulie!

1. I'd love to slip into my size 8 jeans again, wear size small tops, and to be able to tuck my shirt in.

2. To be light on my feet and be free to RUN for the sheer joy of it. To be unfettered and unburdened by the old ball and chain of FAT. To be able to get on the floor and quickly back up again!

3. To feel good about how I present myself to the world....not ashamed....free to NOT think about myself and how I look....free to be me without negative pre-judgement from others.

I can think of many more than three ....I want to be the best ME that I can be and be a strong, positive role model for my two sweet daughters.

1. Tuck my shirt in.

2. Eat an occasional bad-for-me treat in public without worrying what people are thinking.

And I've said it before, but to

3. Know people who've never seen me fat and just assume I've always been thin.

1. Get in a roller coaster seat and have them not ask you to exit because the bar won't close
2. Chase an outfiled fly and not fall over from having the flab flapping
3. Buy and fit into a pair of jeans that are less than a size 40.

[Diana]

1. To know what it's like to be at a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life

2. Enjoy keeping up with my husband in being active every day. OR be able to run circles around him again!! (That might not be possible, but I'll settle for keeping up with him and the assumption we'll be active every day.)

3. To be able to pick out clothes based on a whole lot of criteria that don't include "does this cover my belly?"

[falisamarie]

To stand proudly by my hubby and know that he is proud.

To not wonder if I am the fattest person in the room

but most importantly

To live long enough to have grandkids in my life and have the energy to play with them (this is still a ways off but I can not wait)

3. To feel beautiful and sexy in non plus size clothes.

Wow!

These are soooo great. I can't believe how many of them I want to do too. My list could have been a mile long after reading all these! LOL

I truly appreciate these replies. I cannot tell you how inspiring this is to me. I am gonna save this and pull it up and read it when I am feeling low or in need of inspiration.

You all are the greatest!
