    -I looking forward to my shirts/blouses fitting right. Now if I can button the bottom button the shoulder seam is halfway down to my elbow.

    I'm hoping this year I can walk through the mall during December without little kids telling me they've been good and what they want for Christmas.

    too funny
  • LOVED this..LOL I can relate to most if not all of your list..

    1. I'm looking forward to buying clothes that don't resemble maternity clothing
    2. I'm looking forward to being able to buy a belt in the ladies department...i bought one belt in the last 3 years, I had to buy it in the mens department
  • LOVE IT!!!! I actually related to all of these!

    It feels so good when you pass one of these milestones!

    My big thing for years was not keeping my shoes tied and just slipping them on and off. I didn't realize I did that because it was too difficult for me to bend over to re-tie them. NOw I actually like to untie and retie my shoes, just because the fat rolls are small enough now, they don't get in my way! LOL

    I look forward to a Bikini! PERIOD! It has been 20 years since I wore one in public. I can't wait for the day that I can do that again! (I guess I could do that now... but I would scare the HELL out of everyone!) hehehe
  • 1) I look forward to being able to buy bras in a store (except my boobs don't diet down in size, so I will have to have surgery, but that's my "darn near goal weight" treat to myself. I also look forward to being able to sleep without a bra and NOT getting armpit warmers from them.

    2) I look forward to having to buy new jeans because I've lost weight, not because my thunder thighs have worn holes in the legs.

    3) I look forward to being able to sit in an older movie theater, an airplane, a concert, etc, without wedging my butt in and/or sharing my butt sweat with others.

    4) I look forward, to paraphrase Weird Al Yankovic, to NOT having "more chins than Chinatown"

    5) I look forward to eating a treat and not wondering where on my butt it will show up.

    And I can relate to just about every single one of the points in the original post.


  • I'm looking forward to the day I can go lingerie shopping and not have to get minimisers :flowerforyou:

    I would love to be able to BUY a minimizer LOL

    I was searching for minimizer bras one day and noticed they had them in 36B. Really? Is there that much to minimize?? I want the minimizers in mid-alphabet sizes!
  • can't wait for....
    looking classy with my legs crossed at the knee (comfortably is the key word)!
    not being the sassy, funny fat friend. (i'll still be sassy and funny!)
    burning my spanx (they are the devil!!!!!!!!!!)

    I am SO with you. SPANX SUCK. They work, but they SUCK.

    I look forward to buying a swimsuit that is cute not because it has tummy control and will make you appear "10lbs slimmer"
    I look forward to buying designer jeans and not old navy jeans
    I look forward to being able to run a 5k in under 30 mins
    I look forward to being able to wear shorts again
    I look forward to being able to wear a strapless bra
  • Also, the end of that awful smacking sound my belly makes when I do jumping jacks. :ohwell:

    LMAO - I can sooo relate to that one!
  • love it!
  • omg everyone this is so awesome i was like dying of laughter on some of them! :D

    i'm looking forward to not having holes in my jeans where my theighs have rubbed together!
    also having fun shopping with my friends again and not having to worry if the biggest size of jeans they have will fit me!
    and single diget size jeans!

    Love love love this, made me laugh :)

    1.) I'm looking forward to the day that my thighs say ta-ta to each other. They've had a very long and somewhat abusive relationship together...it's time for them to go on their own way hehe.

    2.) Looking forward to not worrying about the safety of my bf's back when he picks me up

    3.) Being more confident when I go shopping. I feel like I'm cute...but I can't wait to be hottt and show it off to my guy :)

    OMG this made me laugh so much!! Totally identify!

    About the towel fitting - I finally reached the point last week where I can now cover up with a "bath towel" instead of a "bath sheet"...first time in about 7 years! Funnily enough I spent at least a minute in front of the bathroom mirror thinking how cool that was. Didn't ever think in terms of other people having the same problem, hahaha =D

    YAYness for BIG wins, rather than BIG winners!! ;)

    There's too many for me to read right now but from the original list and a lot of what others have added that I read so far...these are amazing! Thank you SO much for posting this! You have no idea. This is actually the most motivating thing I have seen on here for me. The bath towel thing too! So funny! It is so true though...I want it to be huge around me! lol
    I am moving in a week and a half and I think I seriously may print that first list out then and post it up in my room so I can read it every morning to keep me going. I went from laughing my butt off reading them to getting kinda sad because I can't believe how many dumb little things there are we can't do simply due to our weight! I can't wait for us ALL to accomplish all of these goals! So glad to see I am not alone on a lot of these things...been trying to figure out why the heck my panties keep dropping and now I realize it's not just me LOL!!
    Some of the ones you guys listed just killed me...waaay too funny lol

    Too funny! But I do understand!:blushing: ::laugh: [/quote]
  • Love your list. I can totally relate. I look forward to everything, the cuter clothes, the less expensive clothes, no more feeling like I cant go anywhere and do anything fun because people are judging me becasue of my weight. No more feeling like crap because Im a big girl. I wish all of you luck, including myself because I am gonna need it. I really suck at staying motivated and exercising my will power.

    Love it!

    Looking forward to the day I can throw out the 2 hideous night shirts my boyfriend bought me for my birthday, size 3x.

    .... the day I have to move the car seat forward because my butt shrank and I can't reach the gas and brake.

    .... the day my boyfriend and I can both lay down on the couch at the same time and not be on top of each other (unless its on purpose!)

    I must add this one, when my wedding band is not the same size as my husband ( have had it re-sized 2 times since my journey and yes now it is!)
  • HAHAHAHA this is hilarious!!!!!

    I'm looking forward to the following things...

    1) for my husband to give me a piggy back ride. I've always been jealous of girls who get piggy back rides from their lover, I want that!

    2) I don't want to worry about "not fitting" into some of the rides!! I have a fear or not fitting into some amusement park rides, I want that fear completely gone!

    3) I'm looking forward to wearing a semi-normal sized bra that isn't impossible to find! I love Victoria Secret and my boobs just love falling out of those bras!!!

    4) I'm looking forward to being skinnier than my husband, and where I can wear his tshirts and not stress about them stretching!!!
