Weight Loss Bucket List

Nov 05, 2015

So many images flood through my brain when I think about finally losing this weight.  I can't help but make a list of all the things I want to do.  Some thing may seem silly or even make a "normal weight" person tilt their head to the side, but to me, it's all too real.

1. Run.... just run
2. Chase my kids (ages 4 & 6) in the park
3. Sit on the floor (without my feet/legs falling asleep and in pain)
4. Ride a bike (haven't since grade 8)
5. Take a long hot bubble bath in the bathtub. (I've been afraid too for over 6 years because I think I may get stuck)
6. Ride on a rollarcoaster or 2 or 3 or 10!  
7. Wear my wedding ring again.
8. Wear high heels
9. Go ice skating, hiking, snow tubing and tobogganing and other outdoor activities with my family
10. Maybe ride a horse
11. Family portrait (Not many photos of me)
12. Did I mention shopping?  To actually shop at regualar clothing stores
13. Climb stairs without feeling I'm going to die

There are so many things that I missed out on because of this weight. Parasailing in Mexico, Hiking up the Volcano and Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, Riding the rollarcoasters at Universal Studios in Florida.  

How embarressing was it to not be able to hold my daughter on me knee when she got her shots from the doctor because my stomach was too big?  How heart breaking is it to see my childrens faces when i tell them that I can't go on an amusement ride with them?  

This lady is using her new tool to the full maximum and I'm not going back!
