being able to have more room in my suitcase!!

and

not try on all my clothes just to pack to go on a trip!!

Okay - I've got Disney tripping on the brain today and I was thinking aside from better health and wearing smaller sizes that I'm really looking forward to being able to pack smaller clothes and have more room in the suitcase for say - souvenirs :p

I know it may be silly but you got to think that larger sizes take up more room so smaller clothes take up less room - right? I also end up going through a ritual where I try on all my stuff just to find outfits that a. fit and b. don't look too ridiculous!! For me being able to pack like normal people will be a blessing!

So that's what I'm looking forward to - how about you?

[karebear1]

Ah piglet, your a girl after my own heart! All I do is dream about being thinner and enjoying WDW more because I am thinner and can move around easier!

My dream is to go in the swimming pool without emptying all the water out when I jump in!! ;)

No. really, I want to sit by the pool and have a nice cold drink in my hand (non alcoholic- of course!) And rest and ENJOY the contrast between the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the drink! Instead of dreading the heat of the sun and the drink because I'm gonna die if I don't get something quick! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! It's been YEARS!!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love dreaming!

[lisajl]

Well..if I could lose more than the five lbs. I have already lost....

I am looking forward to getting rid of this tummy so I can breath again when I am bent over. It's not too big, just gets in the way.

I am looking forward to fitting into my size 10's again and not worrying about ever being a size five again.

I am looking forward to when I can look at myself in the mirror and be happy about what I see. Not that I don't like myself now, I just wish the weight would come off me quicker.

How about the rest of us? What is everyone else looking forward to?

[mowsie dreamer]

Great thread! It's nice to dream!:D

I'm looking forward to buying cute new clothes--all the things I can't wear now because they make me look too fat!

I'm looking forward to being able to walk and actually keep up with DH & DD, instead of always being 10 steps behind and puffing.

I'm looking forward to buying a one-piece swimming suit instead of a skirted one!

And most of all....................

I'm looking forward to having more energy, feeling great and being healthy!!!:D :D :D

When my thighs don't hit each other and the backs of my upper arms don't wiggle!
:D

[addicted_to_WDW]

I'm looking forward to being in our WDW pictures instead of just taking them. I just don't like seeing pictures of myself, so I pose for very few.

I'm looking forward to never, ever stepping foot in a "fat chick" store again. No offense to Lane Bryant, but I want to shop in regular stores in the regular section!

I'm looking forward to how proud of myself I will be when I lose this weight.

I am looking forward to more lovin' if you catch my drift. :p

[glo]

Saying I weigh under 130 pounds

[Mlissa88]

What a great topic!

I'm looking forward to not craving pizza because I'm feeling too happy about my weightloss.

I'm looking forward to not having to scan the seating in restaurants, events, airplanes, movie theaters....you name it...to see if the chair is ok for my big butt.

Thanks for giving me a chance to smile and keep trying to be a better me!

[Beanie]

I'm looking forward to not feeling uncomfortable about myself! That is my biggest and main goal right now...

[cart-mom]

I'm looking forward to not needing to but 2XL because of my 'Lady berries' and the rolls underneath that make me look like I'm still pregnant. Not that there's anything wrong with being preggars - been there 4 times - not gonna do it anymore!

I'm looking forward to my son not poking me in the belly telling me I'm fat. (he's 3)

I'm looking forward to not shopping in the 'women's' dept. anymore. Who designs those clothes anyway?

I'm looking forward to NOT having to buy elasticized waistbands anymore.

[CDoobee]

Well, there are a LOT of things I'm looking forward to!
But the first thing that came to mind is getting rid of my spare tire! It was almost gone a year ago, and now it's back. ARGHHH!!

--to riding rides with my family without feeling cut in two by the lap bar.
--to walking and being able to breathe naturally, not huffing.
--to running and playing well with my DD, not having to stop every few minutes to catch my breath.

[kelljacques@aol.com]

buying cute bras from victoria secrets. I hate my over the sholder bolder holder!!!!

[TigH]

I'm looking forward to:

Wearing a dress or top that shows off my (soon to be) sculpted back.

Buying a sexy outfit to go out dancing in (Latin Quarter, here I come!)

Adding more cute sandals to my cute sandal collection (the more adornments on them, the better!)

Buying pants and tops that don't meet in the middle so I can show off my tummy!

Going to the Keys in Sept. with DH and feeling confident when I walk around the pool or go snorkeling or hanging out at a tiki bar to watch the sunset.

Buying a really great dress to wear to my cousins wedding in England next year. :)

Buying cute golf clothes so I can start golfing!!!

[Bichon Barb]

...having a skinny neck again

...tucking in shirts

...getting out of my beach chair and NOT having to immediately put on a sarong!!!

[karebear1]

I have a question....... What is it with Victoria's Secret anyway???? Don't they think anyone has breasts bigger then a 36B ??? UGH!!!!!! I would love to buy my things there, but evidentally..... I don't fit into their idea of real womanhood. Kinda stinks doesn't it???

Anyway- I'm enjoying reading everyone's goals and dreams!

I can not even buy my bra's in a store, I have to order them from JC Penny Catalog. PLUS there is only one type that comes in my size. So I am stuck with an 18 hour confort strap. I can not remember ever being able to buy the "pretty" bras, I was a D cup in Jr. High (and I wasn't even over weight then.) Now that I have added 2 cup sizes (one with each pregnancy), I have given up hope of ever finding out Victoria's Secret. :rolleyes:

[geetey]

Hi Karebear!
Maybe you can indulge that Victoria Secrets dream sooner than you think. They carry bras up to size 42DD online! :) Pretty ones too!

[tlgoblue]

Im looking forward to...

:D Healthy habits coming naturally. I want to look at that pizza smothered with cheese and sausage and say "yuck!"

:D not having to work so hard at achieving a calorie deficit.

:smooth: not feeling REALLY bad if I indulge in a beer every now and again.

:teeth: not having my clothes fit snug.

:sunny: most of all...not worrying about where my unhealthy habits might take me. I will not abuse my one and only. I'm just no good without it! (unless you believe Descartes.;) I might be persuaded.:p )

Never Surrender!
Tracy

[FergieTCat]

to buying clothes that I like, in a size that has lots of clothing options (i.e., size 14 or below), and being able to stay that size.

[addicted_to_WDW]

Not having to shimmy through WDW turnstiles.

[nativetxn]

I, too, am looking forward to having more room in my suitcase, and being able to buy some of the really cute Disney clothing they have in the parks that don't come in a IIX.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in December and watching the excitement and seeing how good everyone looks.

Katholyn

[disneyluvers]

...buying dresses from the petite section that don't look like tents when I try them on!:rolleyes:

[Fantasia Sam]

.....running for a bus and not feeling like I'm having a cardiac arrest

.....being able to wear skirts I don't wear these anymore as my inside thighs really chaff and get sore so I wear trousers and jeans all the time

.....being able to get the remote control out with ease and use the controls in an airplane seat.

.....actually seeing I have knees at the moment they sort of disappear when I stand up straight

.....being even happier than I am right now :)

I love this thread

[eva]

:D My face looking thinner. If I'm even 10 pounds heavy I have jowls. YUCK!

:D Wearing a bathing suit and not having to grab a cover-up the minute I get out of the water.

:D Wearing something sleeveless and not being self-conscious about my arms.

:D And I dream of wearing something that shows off my midriff.
(OK I won't get carried away. I'll be happy with the first three.)

[imgoingtodisney]

Hey Eva - youre not getting carried away
Why do you think we're doing this "healthy way of living"?

We WILL be showing off those Midriffs! lol

[wdwnutze]

I am looking forward to ........

Being comfortable in my clothes
Tucking in my shirts
Not avoiding people I know that haven't seen me at this size
Not being embarassed about my appearance
Wearing my wedding ring and other rings

But the thing I am most looking forward to is...................
Having a picture taken with my kids. I avoid the camera like the plague! I usually crop myself out of pictures.

[ahutton]

Walking through the mall and if I see something cute in the window going into that store and knowing there will be a size in that store that fits me...

For those of you who wondered about Victoria's Secret - try going into Lane Bryant. They have a really nice selection of bras that start in a 34 and go up through many larger cup sizes. And they are pretty. And they are comfortable. I was a D cup by the end of Junior High too - and was still one when I used to wear a size 8 so many years ago... I know I'll never know Victoria's real secret, but these are really close.

[karebear1]

speaking of airplanes... how about sitting in the seat and not having to crush yourself together so you aren't invading the person space next to you! OR how about putting those little try tables down and having it sit in the air, instead of on your stomach! THAT would be nice!

[TerriP]

I'm looking forward to....tucking in shirts and wearing hip hugger jeans!! :p

[audflash]

I'm looking forward to going sleeveless!!

and... not poking out the top and bottom of my bra... I hate that :rolleyes:

[disnygoof]

Yes! great thread!

I'm looking forward to:

Going back to Ohio and not avoiding people who saw me when I was thin...

Getting back into my size 10 clothes instead of 18 now. (I was 22, so I guess that's better than nothing)...

Being healthy and feeling better..

My WDW Cruise that I'm going to treat myself to as soon as I hit goal :)

(The airplane seat comment was dead on! I HATE airplanes! What do they think, everyone is a size 6? Argh!)

Lots of love and positive energy to everyone!!

Christiana :)

[shoes99]

I lost 32 lbs. I am looking forward to wearing that 2 pc bathing suit top with my little boy shorts bathing suit bottem on my Disney Cruise. I feel good.
