8. Just an added wish that my feet would shrink. (Currently wearing 13WW) **Shoes are click clackin!!
9a. I would love to see my knees.
9b.---------------------------ankles.
9c.---------------------------collarbone.
9d.---------------------------elbows.

10. Wear stilettos. Without worryin about breakin a heel. Or trying to balance 400+lbs on a pointy heel.
11. Wear knee high boots. or even thigh high (Just kidding)
12. Wear those cute shoes and stand for a while without my lower back killing me.
13. Learn to ballroom dance. (Loved the movie Shall We Dance)
14. Learn other dances too!! Salsa, Belly Dancing, Pole dancing just kidding..okay maybe not LOL
15. Use a regular restroom stall instead of handicapped. I used to feel claustrophobic in those until I realized it was me crowding myself out.
16. Feel comfortable in a sports car. Ok I can say that I am comfy in my best friends new Charger but I think its just big in there. I mean like a Mazda Miata LOL.
17. Gain positive attitudes about regular exercise. How do you people turn into Jane Fonda overnight?? Go jogging?? Can't fathom it. Spinning class? WHEW!! Kickboxing? I think I'm gonna faint. This is coming from a person who sweated profusely at a yoga class. Lord I need help in this department. I think I am just lazy......Pray for me. I am told that this gets better as you get smaller.
18. Go white water rafting in the Tennessee Smokies.
19. Ride amusement park rides instead of walking around or should I say walk/sit..eat funnel cake.. walk/sit..eat turkey leg..repeat
20. Go hiking / on nature trails/ camping..you know, all that "white folk stuff" no offense :)
21. Get a Total Body Lift from Dr. Dennis Hurwitz cause I'm gonna need it!!!
22. Grow professionally and embrace new opportunities as they come.
23. Be smaller for my 12/2006 graduation from grad school than i was at my 8/2005 graduation from undergrad.
24. Become the social butterfly that I used to be!
25. Fly without a seatbelt extender.
26. Paint my own toenails and shave my legs without having to be a contortionist about it.
27. Walk up a couple flights of stairs without feeling like I am getting ready to die.
28. Walk without my thighs rubbing together about to start a fire.
29. Not be embarrassed at the doctors office with two gowns on; one in front and one in the back.
30. I hope that my journey/testament/struggle/will inspire someone else to change their lives. A good friend of mine inspired me to change mines and he knows who he is. *luv ya Johnny
