    Abs. I'd like to have some. Well I know we all "have" them, but I'd like to people to see them without the nice "protective" layer I have covering them right now.

    My first goal was to do a pull up, and my next goal is 2 in a row. My biggest goal though: have my stomach not stick out further than my moobs while I'm standing up. Someday...someday..........

    +1 on the knee high boots. I have wanted a cute pair for years but can never get them to fit my calves :(

    Going back to stores that I "sized out of" and buying cute clothes I haven't been able to wear in years.

    Finally having family members compliment me on how I look when we go to a family function.

    Going to my closet and pulling out whatever I want and having it fit.
    Not having to pull, tug, adjust, fidget once all day long.

    I have a few things I am looking forward to on this journey:

    - To actually be able to run a mile.
    - To look good in a cute swimsuit and feel confident on the beach.
    - To not have my thighs rub and hurt.

    I will never have a flat stomach unless I have skin surgery. Nor will I ever have beautiful arms unless surgery as well which is not something that I can see happening due to expense.

    My NSV would not even be to shop for clothes because I don't like shopping.

    Just once i would like to win my age category in a 5 or 10 K...I would love that.

    - Running in "Run or Dye Detroit" next year (5K).
    - Cuter clothes!
    - Shredding the Lane Bryant and Catherine's credit card.
    - Not feel self conscious in a swimsuit, shorts, or a tank top.
    - Go hiking.

    Just today took 3 big bags of "fat" clothes to the Salvation Army. I'm now wearing clothes from 12 years ago, the last time I wore a 14. Thank goodness I held on to the good stuff. In some TBD number of months, I'll be donating the 14's. No more XL's or "Women's" department.

    I can catch my reflection in a sidewalk window without being embarrassed. I can walk straight down the aisle of the plane without bumping into someone already seated. I have rediscovered my ankle bones. My doctor was delighted reading the numbers from my recent lipid panel. I can wear pants that have zippers instead of elastic. I can wear a BELT! And it looks good.

    I'm really looking forward to
    Buying a new bikini that I look AMAZING in.
    Wearing that bikini and a cute pair of shorts on a nice long hike in Yosemite with my amazing boyfriend and going for a swim. Carefree with no worries about my appearance because I know I look great.
    I'm really excited for that day.

    Being able to go shopping for clothes... and feeling happy and excited while doing so! And... to borrow clothes from my mum! It's sad I'm so much bigger than her.

    I want to be able to order the cute things I see online... I want to play dress-up and feel good on the weekends, go out with friends, and feel normal.

    I also look forwards to figuring out my confidence and breaking down the walls of my social anxiety. So I can sit for a class, get up and go, without waiting for everyone else to leave so I can bump into chairs and rearrange my clothes without feeling like an idiot! And be able to talk to people without worrying about my double chins.
