Today must be a day for posting...

I noticed that I'm not alone in wanting to "shop at a regular store" for clothing. But I do find it kind of sad that there were more people signed up for that as a goal than feeling healthy/like the old me..etc.  I want to feel energetic and happy and run around and..I dont know..JUMP without the worry of breaking something (or me).. I was watching Pretty in Pink and I noticed duckie dancing around and kind of lifting himself off the railing (granted duckie in the movie is like 130 lbs soaking wet, but besides that).. I just look forward to feeling like THAT again ;) 

Now, that being said. I was scrolling through all the before and after pics and I try to find someone with my height/body type and see what they look like after all the weight is gone... To see, relatively where I'll be in size. My parents were both quite a bit older when they had me (38 and 46) so I never got to see what they looked like at my age. I'm not sure what their "young & healthy" body types are.  I would love to be a size 10..12 even.. 14.. I dont care if I have to buy the XL anywhere, I just want to not have to ONLY buy 2x tank tops because I really fit a 3x but they dont go that high (old navy / eddie bauer etc).

2 things I look forward to: 

1. My shirts being long enough to cover my belly. I'm tall and big, so the material is never quite enough, i have to pull up the pants or pull down the shirt... constantly. Even the "long built" tank tops from avenue/lane bryant aren't enough fabric.. I see the skinny girls getting the long tanks at forever 21 and WISH someday I'll have less of a belly roll so it will be that low on me (think mid hip)..  
2. Taking photos where my arm doesn't look larger than my face. My upper arms are just this mass of flesh/fat right now, I can't wait to start losing and working out to tone up!

The end of my rants atm ;)
