Weight Loss Goals
Jun 10, 2009
Many OH members say it's a good idea to make a list of things you are looking forward to after WLS so that you can look back and have a reference to measure how far you have come. So here's my list:
1. Being more active and social. Lately I have been inactive and shying away from social events because of my weight gain. I have made excuses and just straight up lied about why I couldn't attend events and family gatherings. I know my friends and family love me no matter what but I am just ashamed and disappointed that I have let my weight get so out of control. So I'm looking forward to feeling good about myself again and getting back to the people I love and enjoy so much.
2. Being Healthy. My blood pressure was out of control and I walked around everyday not feeling any effects from it. But that's why they call it the "silent killer" and I was soooo scared it was going to kill me. My feet and ankles swell almost daily. My back, knees, legs and feet hurt often. I believe I have poor circulation in my legs too because sometimes when I wake up they are numb.
3. Being able to buy clothing anywhere I want to! But before I do, I have to thank two very special people in my life -- my sisters, Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart. 
I will miss you both. 
You guys have been my biggest supporters and my bestest friends. You have always cheered me up when I was down and made me feel loved and accepted.
We have had some great times and I will never forget you! I promise to always stop buy and raid through your accessories. And to my other sister, Macy’s -– girl you might as well up my credit limit because from now on I will be shopping in all your departments, not just the women’s section. I look forward to building on our already rock solid relationship. To Gucci, Fendi and Louis Vuitton -- it will no longer just be handbags, shoes, watches and sunshades. I look forward to growing the partnership we formed back in the 80's. (got my 1st Gucci purse for 8th grade graduation). You guys will now serve as my reward for keeping my exercise and fitness goals
- GAME ON!!!! To Diane von Furstenberg , BCBGMaxAzria, and BeBe – I have admired you from afar and I look forward to trying you on and maybe making a purchase 
...........Can you see the transfer addiction happening already?
4. Being able to walk in heels all day and dance in them all night.
I love shoes just as much as, if not more than clothes and I miss my heels. I haven’t been able to wear them since about 60+ lbs ago. They make me feel extra sexy and tall. I can’t wait to get my first pair of STILETTOS!!!!!
5. Being able to cross my legs. That is so sexy!
6. Being able to sit on the Metro, an airplane or any adjoined seat and not spill over into the next one. It will also be cool when I am able to sit in a single seat and put my purse BESIDE me.
7. Being able to buy a bra and matching panty set or some lingerie from Victoria’s Secret. I don’t even know if I will really like their stuff but I want the option.
8. Wearing my seatbelt without it feeling like my whole upper body is in a choke hold.
9. Weighing less than my fiance.
10. Better sex -- I could soooooo elaborate on this one but I’ll just leave it to your own imagination.
11. I want to go to King’s Dominion. I have never been to an amusement park and been embarrassed because I couldn’t fit on the ride but that’s because I have avoided them for the last 5-6 years. I want to go and get on every ride like I use to..........I love roller coasters.
12. I want to swim more than one lap without being completely out of breath. I love the water and plan to use swimming and water aerobics to help get rid of this weight.
13. I want to be able to give myself a pedicure without having to change positions 99 times to get to every part of my foot.
14. I want my fiance to pick me up -- literally!
15. I want to sky drive and bungee jump. I probably would have tried these things already but I would be more comfortable trying them under 200 lbs.
16. I want to RUN on my treadmill.
17. I want to take a spinning class.
18. I want to climb a mountain........I think???
19. I want to go skiing.
20. I want to try surfing.
21. I want to try scuba diving.
22. I want to buy leather knee high boots that zip up my leg – not the synthetic leather ones that stretch on the calf.
23. Having a favorite pair of jeans that won’t eventually wear out in the middle from my thighs rubbing together.........See how this keeps coming back to clothes or shoes?
24. Being able to clean all three floors of my house in one day.
25. The satisfaction that comes with achieving goals. It’s always a great feeling when you plan to do something, work hard at it and reach your goal. YES I CAN!
