Things You Want To Do After Losing Weight

fadedintomemory

If you're like me, you've made a comment saying something along the lines, "I'll have to do that when I lose enough weight..." or "Once I lose weight, I can enjoy that..." ... Well, I am on my weight loss journey and dedicated as ever and was wondering, what are some things you all have said those statements about?

For me, right away certain things come to mind, such as: going to a state fair and not having to worry, "Am I gonna fit in that ride or will I be too big and have to be turned away?" It's happened before. I have wanted to try ziplining. Keeping up with my active nephews. Go into an average clothes size store and not feel like I'm getting stared down like "what the heck are you doing in here?" I could go on and on.

Just curious other people's thoughts they've had wondering what things they would like to do when they get on or around their goal weight...

I can't wait until the days I can do whatever I want without having to hesitate because my weight is holding me back!

You know, I've still got a long way to go with my weight loss (hoping to lose another 80 lbs on top of the 120 I've already lost) and at this point, my weight holds me back from almost nothing.

I don't think I'll be able to do things like 10k races or half-marathons at my current weight, so as I get smaller, targeting for more strenuous long-distance running is something I'd like to do. But as is, I do almost anything I put my mind to already! I run, I hike, I get dates, and I basically live my life the way I want to. I love it.

Toughmudder. Zombie run. Bikini. Cliche "sexy ______" Halloween costume. Also a shopping spree at Express. I have a million tops from there and love the skirts and dresses, but the ones I like don't mesh well with fat rolls.

Ride roller coasters,
sit in any chair including the fold up kind and wicker,
Take a trip on a plane
wear a bathing suit without wanting to die
Run and skip and do a cartwheel
Sleep without fear of never waking

Buy something in Victoria's Secret other than smell-goods

Have a skinny guy "want me"- don't judge :grumble:

Be able to fit in anything anywhere i.e. booths/rides

Not be paranoid at the beach/pool

SO MUCH MORE, but they are the first few that come to mind. :happy:

I'm smaller now then I've ever been my entire life. I've always been over weight to morbidly obese. I'm now 5'1.5 at 119 lbs. I always said by this time I'd wear a bikini in public, but I won't. I'll show photos on here of my belly but that's different, I'm showing progress. To me now, it's more then just weight loss, now I gotta get my stomach how I want it.

MyChocolateDiet

climb things.

mountains
rocks

wear cool clothes.

still not work.

beach in bikinis

bend over in front of my friends husbands, but only those who did so in front of mine.

crazy bendy headstanding yoga.

one day out of the blue carry a man who just happens to be next to me in a totally inappropriate situation just because I can.

to show that women are strong and skinny is not weak.

I soooo envy you from your photos I would say you are a very bubbly and outgoing person. I have severe self confidence issues, so much so that I feel like id rather the ground opened and swallowed me whole rather than stand out in a crowd and be noticed
My confidence is very low (I blame years of bullying from such a young age followed by a relationship where everything I did was wrong... I know I should just ignore them, but easier said than done).
Im in a healthier place mentally as well as physically (thanks to the new relationship ) but confidence is not quite there yet.
I would give anything for your personality :happy: :drinker:

join the army. Yep, that's my goal

XxYeaIrocxX

I wanna rock a 2 piece!

and I want to wear what I want and be okay with it and not dress around my bad areas =(

I'm spending the whole day at the beach and the whole night on the town!

I would like to try on a bikini and say - yes, that looks good. I doubt I will actually buy one cause at 52 after years of obesity, one pregnancy and a hysterectomy, I doubt I'll get the flat tummy, but I'm going to try.

Being able to sit on any chair without worrying it will crack

Feeling comfortable on an airplane ( I fit in the seat, and don't need the extension strap, but on some flights it's been a tad tight)

Going hiking again without feeling uncomfortable or getting all winded

Go horseback riding ( they have a weight limit)

I wore a 2 piece when I was bigger but now I am actually proud to wear one. I have worked hard to get where I am today...still improving. Confidence is beauty not body or looks.

The same things I do now, like the farm work ,haying and gardening, but with more strength and stamina. I definitely notice a difference at 21 lbs. down, about 9 to go. My problems weren't about weight per se as I wasn't all that overweight, more about chronic pain and osteoarthritis in my feet and knees.

Second the VS comment! Only one bra has fit me from there. I fit in their panties, but I want super sexy lingerie and bras.

I want to partake in some adult activities that require more flexibility. :blushing:

Buy more clothes overall. Go out to bars and actually look hot and dance without worrying about standing out.

BackToFree

The things that I want to do when I lose weight are things that often have a weight/size limit. I want to skydive, go on a hot air balloon ride with my husband.
