    Yes!! I just had that problem the other day and now I am full force on being able to lose the weight and be there for my kids. It was so embarrassing having to go to the exit and not fit in the seat! !!! OMG!

    I want to shop in a store where everything DOES NOT HAVE sequins, glitter, or animals...on it. Really? If I am feeling big...do I need to sparkle and have safari animals on my leg? Who thinks this stuff up? I want to be able to shop in a store where I can find something in my size, that fits well, and that does not draw attention UNLESS I want it to.

    This made me laugh out loud!!! Do they think fat people have no taste? And the clothes I've gotten as gifts over the years do have all these glittery things too. I look forward to finally wearing clothes that are my style and not settling for whatever is in my size.

    My husband and I also dream of doing steam punk cosplay once we're both fighting fit. I also look forward to being pregnant with our second child with less complications.

    Eversince I gained all that weight, I haven't been "able" (didn't feel comfortable) to wear sleeves that are shorter than just past the elbow; so either a longsleeve, 3/4" sleeve or vest over EVERYTHING. Its been such a pain when it's hot outside, and seeing everyone walk around not sweating like crazy while I'm still in a damned vest because of my huge arms is getting reaaally old. I want me some cute tanktops. Same goes for shorts and short skirts; I don't want to melt hiding under my clothes anymore.

    Swimming. I used to love swimming more than anything, but there isn't a chance in hell you'll get me in a bathingsuit any time soon. I don't nescesarily crave wearing bikini's, but I would love to feel comfortable in any sort of swimwear *just* to be able to go swimming again.

    I'd love to go out with friends again. The last few times that I did were very painfull; from always just having fun without any drama, to getting harassed by people every few minutes ("who's with fatty?", "doesn't this bar have a 'No Whale' policy?", I could go on, but we all know). Going out as a fat kid is NOT fun.

    The one thing I hate more than mirrors (and thats saying a lot), is camera's; I would love not having to avoid them at all costs.

    I cant wait to....
    Be in public and not feel like a blob.
    Wear a bikini.
    Feel good naked.
    Wear shorts and not be embarrassed.
    Wear talk tops and be proud of my arms!

    Really... I just want to look and feel good. Getting rid of the fat will make this happen without struggling and lying to myself.

    I was where you're at... am still 30# overweight but don't give up. I found it helpful to break thing down into small victories. (when I went from 215# to 200#, I bought a special pair of earrings I wanted. Then When I broke 190#, I bought a special movie I'd been looking forward to getting.) Break it down to 5 or 10# increments (whatever is best for you to keep up the "I can do it" mode. Reward yourself with a nonfood treat. VICTORY! (The war is won by winning the small battles!)
    Also,Take the exercise slow. When I started, I couldn't make the driveway without feeling like I was gonna die. Now a 5 mile walk is a great stress relief and a day in the garden is awesome (remember---chasing dustbunies and mowing lawn counts---1 hour of mowing with a push mower burns 300cals and you get to enjoy outdoors!)

    Not huff and puff while walking.
    Getting rid of all the huge rolls of fat. To be able to pinch less than an inch.
    Buying clothes in a regular store instead of a fat people store.
    To be able to fly without buying an extra seat.
    To be able to ride comfortably in a ride in Disney World
    To be invited to gatherings because the hosts do not have to worry about whether I will break the furniture or eat through all the food.

    That's enough for now.
