What are you looking forward to when you reach your goal?

I have been reading the many success story threads and I find it motivational when people talk about the things that they didn't expect (like always being cold and having boney knees) and what is so great about having lost weight. However I'm new here and only just starting, so I thought it would be useful to focus on something I expect when I reach my goal that I look forward to and I'd like to hear what others are thinking.
I'm looking forward to getting dressed/picking out outfits quicker because I won't have to check that things still fit and make sure that all bulges are adequately hidden while still trying to look stylish!

I'm looming forward to same as u!!1

Actually being satisfied with what I see in the mirror .3

Wearing all the stylish clothes sitting in my closet. I'm a minimalist, but it took too much time to find these clothes and I paid too much to give them away.
Also, getting off the blood pressure meds.1 -

Not avoiding mirrors. Not wearing a cardigan in the summer to hide my arms. Dresses that aren’t maxi dresses because I have to hide my legs. Not avoiding pictures with my friends and family. Not being as self conscious at the pool.6

Not seeing one of the descriptives as"obese" on the doctors notes that they give you when you leave! HATE that word!3

Having fun outdoors again. I do this already, to an extent, but I would like to do more. Longer hikes. Canoeing. I would love to try ziplining. I would love to go sledding again.1

I guess being a straight up size 10/Medium. I've been at this weight loss thing forever it seems, and I'm really happy with my progress & maintaining it for years...but I want to step it up a little more because I feel like size 12 and Large stuff often looks weird and saggy on me but I can't always fit the 10 and M.
For the record I'm NOT one of those people who is size obsessed (obviously, or I'd probably be striving for a much smaller size than this).2 -
I'm looking forward to being happy with my physical appearance and getting into a size 10 and not having flabby arms!! I've got about 40 pounds to go! I'm down 14.6 this month!3

Same as OP. I’m in maintenance and I love being able to wear anything in my closet and it fits or is loose! Love being able to run up flights of stairs and walk for miles and my feet don’t hurt. Love not worrying about what I look like in pictures. Love not dreading meeting people for the first time. Love splitting a dessert with my husband and not feeling guilty because I have learned how to enjoy treats in moderation. The list goes on and on.3

Not having to shop in the plus sizes.7

When my weight is on the lower end I find I don't think about it or my body half as much. I'm up 4-6 lbs from my lowest weight (and still want to lose a bit more after that) and I'm already so much more self conscious than I was. Sad.1

Buying a black suit and looking good in it
Also, having more energy. 0 -
Wearing tank tops and short sleeved shirts again without worrying about my flabby upper arms!!!2
-
I can't wait to go suit shopping again. No tailor will be able to fix the drastic size change I'm planning on! I know it'll take me some time even after goals are met to feel good about myself, but at least then I'll have a before/after to debunk any negative thoughts!1

Riding English again vs Western1

I am so looking forward riding a bicycle again! 150 pounds to go!4

To shop in regular stores!2

SHORTS THAT DON'T RIDE UP! SKIRTS or DRESSES being extra short because, of my booty. Being 100% confident in shorts. CROP TOPS. Finally, a belly button piercing.
I'll be excited to be healthy and try on any clothes without wondering if it will fit or not.
BRAGGING, I can't stress enough about the bragging. How much I got bullied for my weight and to come up healthy and fit, one of these days would be amazing. Considering, most girls and guys are putting weight on themselves since Graduation.

I'm odd, but I'm not really looking forward to anything in particular. I have accomplished all the goals I have set up to accomplish through weight loss, so what is left is just lowering the number on the scale to a point that would give me better chances of delaying diabetes. That's not something tangible or immediately observable. A smaller bra size for more affordable bras perhaps? That's all I can think of.4

Not having to shop in the plus sizes.
None Plus Size Sections: Beautiful, lots of choices, just flat our cute! (The dresses are beautiful at Walmart.)
Plus Size: Potato Sack. (Walmart in Plus Size Dresses: Looks like super old lazy clothes. Like, 80 Years old at a nursing home, night gown kind of thing.)0 -
OK, so this is a little sad - I have this thing where I lift my belly up and realise that the pressure and heaviness isn't going to be there forever. That's what I'm looking forward to. Not having the belly that hurts me and makes me uncomfortable all the time.7

As silly as it sounds at my age, showing my mother that even though I wasn’t born to be a size 2 like her , I can look and feel great at a size 8.8

I reached my weight loss goal and was always looking forward to just feeling comfortable in my own skin, being able to run around without wearing out, and having the ability to do more challenging yoga poses. Now that I've been able to do all that, I'm working on building muscle, so the next things I'm looking forward to are being able to do a full pull-up, deadlifting twice my body weight, and finally being able to pull off the damn crow pose.3

Gosh, so many things! Having energy again; looking good in photos (and not having to do the shot from the sky fat girl angle); purchasing clothes from any store I please AND looking good in them; having a wider pool of men to choose from; and, yeah, not gonna lie -- I wanna brag too. I want people I haven't seen in ages to say "Damn, you look great!" and I'll pretend to be humble and coy when in actuality I'm beaming inside.6
