    Shopping at any store I choose, not being limited to those that sell oversized clothing. Oh, and paying less for clothing! Having people think "what a hot wife" my husband has. Having more energy. Oh there is so much!

    Go to the cinema.

    I'm a huge film fanatic, but for the past 3 years I have avoided the cinema purely because I'm terrified I won't fit in the chairs!! I'm so annoyed at myself. There's nothing quite like the anticipation of a long-awaited movie, and the thrill of finally seeing it on opening night. The Hobbit, for example, was a film I had waited years and years to see... then when the time came I decided I was too fat, therefore I missed seeing it on the big screen.

    I'm hoping to have reached the mini-goal I've set myself by November, as I really want to see Catching Fire, the sequel to the Hunger Games. It'll be the first time I've set foot in a cinema in 3 years, and I'm determined to sit in the seat and have room to spare! :P

    There are plenty more things I can't wait to do - not have to shop in plus size stores etc... the usual!

    I am going to add one more! Not having to automatically make a beeline for the largest size in the store! [I am in the inbetween land of sizes at the moment, straddling normal and plus at 14/16 with big thighs.]

    My main motivation is my health. I've been told if I lose weight I could reverse some health problems.
    I need to lose 6 stone. so my number 1 would be

    (1) Getting off blood pressure tablets!
    (2) showing off my arms!
    (3) fitting into jeans and looking good!!
    (4) looking in the mirror without feeling depressed
    (5) being happy with photos of myself !!

    I have to lose 70 lbs. Looking forward to no longer being at risk for diabetes, looking better in my work uniform instead of being embarrassed when I ask for a larger size yet again, being fit enough to go federal or join the army, wearing my first bikini ever!

    Being able to tie my shoes and breathe at the same time. To sit comfortably at a movie theater. To play basketball again. Lots of things I want to be able to do.
