Weight Lost = Doing "Normal" Things

How many of you (US?) cant wait to lose "the weight" to be able to do the most simplest of things....things most people probably dont even notice? Granted most people will list things like using the steps instead of the elevator without huffing and puffing....or running....et al
But how about:
....my personal favorite--being able to breathe walking across the room....
....bending over to tie your shoes versus sitting down and bringing your foot up on a knee....
....putting your jeans on without "sucking it in"....or pulling and tugging til you're outta breath....
....going for a walk without worrying about being able to breathe (In the heat / in the cold etc)
....no more CPap / BiPap (hopefully)....
....no more wonder about what wont "fit" this time....
....who'll notice how much weight you've gained since "last time"...
....no more profuse sweating doing the simplest things....
....less joint pain....
....sitting comfortably in a BOOTH when you go out to eat....
....no issues with a seat belt....
....no more worry about "fitting" on rides at amusement parks....
....no more sideways glances from strangers....
....no more snide remarks about your weight....
....buying clothes pretty much anywhere you want opposed to "the special stores"
Please add your own...you must have some I havent listed, or even reiterate the ones I have.

I want to not worry about fittings into airplane seats and doing up the seatbelt.0

The best thing about my weight loss this go around is discovering I am happy with myself and not wanting to buy a huge quantity of "pretty clothes" and figuring out how to have a capsule wardrobe and starting Project 333 with just enough "quality" clothes. I think it mirrors my eating habits now!0
