Re: As part of the century club, we..

I can't wait to...

Get on a rollercoaster and not worry about my weight flinging me out
or the embarrasment that the protection bar does not close over my
legs.

On the log ride, not having to take the back seat after the men
because I'm bigger than they are.

Sit in a university desk comfortably.

Go hiking and not have to stop to return to camp. (Its been years)

Not have rashes from my jeans rubbing on my legs.

Sleep without 2 pillows.

Re: As part of the century club, we..

I can't wait to:

- Walk into a room and KNOW that people aren't staring at me because I'm fat... but because I am beautiful.

- Shopping in "trendy" stores... with out fear of not having my size

- Riding roller coasters (last time I went to wild wood I couldn't fit in any of the roller coaster seats... that was 2 years ago and I haven't gone on one since.)

- Run around with my nieces and nephew... ride dirt bikes and quads with them... and all that jazz

- Yes, I too would love to experience crossing my legs like a lady... lol

- To wear a sexy outfit that I didn't have to conceal all the fat rolls under! You know where a short skirt for the first time EVER!

- Prove to everyone that under all this weight.. is a beautiful young woman

There's so much more... but those are just the few for now!

Re: As part of the century club, we..

Thought I'd bring this one back.

I can't wait to:

Ride roller coasters
Go to movies, restraunts, and theaters without worrying what kind of seats they have
Fit in airplane seats and not have to ask for a seatbelt extension (so humiliating!)
Shop at any store I want and wear sleeveless shirts
Have enough energy to go hiking, maybe even rock climbing!!
Ride a bike
Feel and look great!!!

There are TONS more but I'll stop there. I can't wait! Woohoo!

Re: As part of the century club, we..

lol, I have several reasons:
1.) I see mountains everywhere I want to climb but can't.
2.) I want to lose the weight with Atkins, pig out on a pile of meat and cheese in front of my low-fat low cal salad eating mom who's been on a diet for 30 years and when she lectures me on it say "What, I lost 120 pounds eating this crap that weight watchers tells me I can't have.. loved every minute of it too. How's your diet life?"
3.) I have an ex who's still a good friend of mine and he keeps asking for pictures. I won't send it till I'm thin and he lives like 4 hours away, I am hoping to be thin and maybe invite him and his wife up for a get together with my hubby, but I'll be damned if I'll do that fat.
4.) Cute clothes again.
5.) Being comfortable around people and not being afraid of what they're thinking.
6.) not be afraid of wearing a tank top in my jeep and watching my arms jiggle in the wind.
7.) I want to skydive. (230 weight limit for skydiving)

Re: As part of the century club, we..

I want one person to tell me I'm pretty, not "pretty for my size"

I want my kids to hug me and be able to get their arms all the way around me

I want to worry about dying by being hit by a bus, not heart attack or stroke or anything health-related

I want to be thinner than my know-it-all sister who swears that carbo-loading is the way to go

I want to be able to thumb my nose at the doctor who told me I can only lose weight surgically and that no diet will ever work for me

I want to go sleeveless

I want to be proud of the way I look, and to be able to say that I did it myself -- with hard work & determination, not a pill or scalpel

Re: As part of the century club, we..

Ok...my turn:
I want to be able to say I made it on Atkins...instead of starting and stopping like I have been.

I want to be able to show my SIL that every single diet she's tried during the years I've been doing Atkins were not better than mine...and guess what? I didn't die either!

I want to be there for my husband for years, and for my son for every mile marker in his life...not worry that I might not make it that long.

I want my husband to be able to be proud of my figure as he is for everything else he is proud of me for. He's been so kind...never a word about my weight except to say he worries about my health.

And to snub those who have said "my gosh...why did she let herself go?" without ever thinking there might be a health reason. Its dam* embarassing being this fat, and I'm sick of it!

Re: As part of the century club, we..

I love this thread, it is fun !!
I can't wait to go to Calif and visit and no one even know it is me as it has been almost twenty years since I was thin
I can't wait to wear a swim suit and not feel embarressed
I want to take a dance class , I have always loved to dance
I would not mind a part time job now that our kids are grown and the one at home is graduating in two years, but do not have the stamina right now to stand for hours and I am self concious if they have one of those stupid little cute uniforms.
I cannot wait to shop in the cute clothes dept.
I can't wait to feel feminine again
I could go on and on, there are so many things I am looking forwad to doing, the biggest one is being here to do anything, I want to be healthy and fit and strong.
Most of all, I want to be healthier at 50 than I was at 30 and that will not be hard to do, healthy meaning slim and fit, not sick, I have always been healthy in that way, but fit and strong and looking good. I wasted all my thirites, most of my twenties and so far six years of my forties being fat and out of shape, enough is enough. Time to take my body back !!!

Re: As part of the century club, we..

My turn (This is such a great thread!!!).

I can’t wait to…

Not be asked when I am finally having that baby (Oh about a year and six months ago!)

Be able to afford clothes that can fit me that have more options than plain, animal print, appliqué, or bedazzled to death.
Wear a skirt that doesn’t hug my ankles, panty hose that doesn’t make my thighs feel like they are being diced after an hour and walk in heels without looking like a waddling blob!

Have jeans that don’t have stretch in the name.

Get rid of the second chin (one is enough thank you!)

Be able to see my belly button without doing the roll adjustment thing (I know that sounds gross)

Wear anklets that can’t second as necklace choker.

Look sexy in a backless or low back gown instead of a sausage with the stuffing coming out.

Actually need a belt.

Wear something tight in the middle and not looking like my breasts are a couple sizes bigger (It has to go somewhere!)

Being able to say I weighed 300lbs at one time and now I’m a babe.

To tell every person I know who said I couldn’t do it or that Atkins was a joke: “Guess you were wrong!”

I think this would all be so much funnier if it weren’t true!

Re: As part of the century club, we..

Wear clothes in the "teen" sizes again. I haven't been a size 18 since I was in grade 7 or 8. I'm so close now, I can taste it! I can get into size 18 jeans. I can do them up. But...it ain't pretty. (Who knew that fat could be displaced so much??)

Not feel like a ball when I'm sitting down. Standing up, I think I loof pretty good. but sitting down...it all squooshes up.

Not panic about walking between my students' desks. (Will I fit?...Won't I fit?...)

Stop being jealous of all the skinny little Japanese women that surround me everyday.

Be able to share clothes with my sister. She was always "the thin one."
