Who has 'goals' on their profiles?
Myra this is what I have on my profile for my goals...
My GOALS!!
First of all.... New drivers license picture...with the weight on there actually being right.
To get fit. I want to be in the best shape and have great health.
I want to go shoppin and not head directly for plus size clothes.. Bless his heart, my husband thinks 22W stands for 22 Wide...LOL Watch out Victoria's Secret!!
I want to wear sexy undies... Not big A&& grannies.
I want a sexy lil red dress that makes you wanna say humm!!
I want to go out and be able to sit in a booth.
I want to cross my legs...( big deal to me) I can do this now
I want to be able to fly on a plane and not worry about an extender.
I want to take a bath
and not have the water behind my butt to flow out last.
I want to go to the movies and sit comfortably in the seats without my fat hanging over the sides.
Six Flags...Need I say more. I want to be able to ride all the rides, and not be out of breathe getting to them.
I want to wear a nice bathing suit, that doesn't have a mid knee
length dress.
I want to learn to ride horses
without the horse fainting when it sees me approaching.
I want people to see my for who am on the inside, to see my heart, and not judge me for my weight.
I don't have them on my profile, but here goes...
* I'd like to be woman-shaped. I'd like to have a discernable waist.
* I'd like to drive a Japanese car (and also my friend's mini cooper).
* I'd like to go to a gian****er park and enjoy slides, lazy rivers, wave pools, etc.
* I'd like to get a decent job.
* I'd like to move to another state, where they don't have winter.
* I'd like to look normal (not even good/sexy, etc.) in a pair of jeans.
* I'd like to learn how to skate so I can play pick up hockey with other women (women who also suck at playing hockey, preferably).
* I'd like to go to a Detroit Red Wings home game.
That's about it, really. I suppose a boyfriend/husband would be nice, but I wouldn't really call that a goal. I'd be happy just to be healthy and able to fully participate in life with my friends and family.
I had goals. So many of them have been put on hold now, not because of weight loss but other health issues.
I wanted to take a Roller Coaster Vacation. I haven't fitted into the seats of a roller coaster since before 1994. I was looking forward to a trip to two coaster heavy theme parks (Kings Island and Cedar Point in Ohio) but have to wait till next year because of the kidney surgery I just had.
I'm still going canoeing with my best friend in May, when the water's warm enough and I feel healed enough, whichever comes last.
I was going to run a triathlon in August, but that is now in jepordy because I'm basically starting over again because of last week's surgery. Damn it!
I did go to a broadway play and sat relatively comfortably in the seats. By the next play, I'll have lost another 30+ pounds, so it should be even better.
Move seats are much more comfortable, and am looking forward to the next movie I go to. Anyone wanna baby sit?
I want to audition for another play with this "new" body.
There were other things on that list of long ago, but I've done so many. I want to wear size 38 pants. I'm now in 46, down from 64, so I know that I'll get there sooner rather than later. I want to be in xl or smaller shirts, and my xxxl shirts are getting pretty big. I want a nice suit. I wanted to be sub 300, which I now am.
WLS has changed my life so for the better. I've remember so despartly wanting to lose 100 pounds by the new year, and just squeezing by. Yet since the new year, I've lost another 43 pounds. (cancer "helped" that in perhaps not the best way.) I've lost nearly 70% of my excess weight, and am routinly not recognized by people who should know me.
