New Things to Look Forward To

The whole process of losing weight is about things to look forward to.  Looking forward to being thin and all that goes with it. And To add to it all the things I am already looking forward to about losing the weight Bill and I are now going to be buying our first home in the next 2-3 months.  That is very exciting. So that adds so many more things to look forward to about losing the weight.  So here are some things that I am looking forward to about being healthy and thin.

1. I am looking forward to being able to wear the cloths I actually like instead of what I can find that fits. There are so few options in clothing for a woman of my size.  I only have one store really that sells clothing that fits me.  I am starting to get into sizes now that give me a few more options.  Just 1 more size and most of the plus size things at walmart will fit and 2 more sizes and any store that sells plus size clothing will fit. I am looking forward to just that...but ultimately I am looking forward to walking into a store and being able to buy regular sizes.  That day will some and when it does... I will be the crazy lady who is seemingly crying for no reason in the change room.

2.  I want to learn to ski.  I have always wanted to ski... but because of the pressure on the knees I have not been able to at my weight. Next winter I want to learn to ski.

3. I want to be able to work alongside Bill in our new House.  We are going to be doing lots of renos and I want to be able to have the strength and agility to be able to do my part.

4. I want to be able to do gardening in my new yard.  We planted a garden last year and I wanted so bad to be able to work in it.  But I was able to do very little because I could not bend over long enough to weed or plant.  I could only be on my knees for a very short time to do some work around the edges.  Harvesting was hard because you have to bend so much and I could not.  Bill ended up doing most of the work.  I want to be able to do the majority or it this year and to put new flower beds around our new home.

5. Having a baby.  They tell me that with PCOS, weight loss can trigger ovulation.  So that is the biggest thing I hope and look forward to about the weight loss.

There are so many other things that I look forward to about being healthy and thin, like fitting in a roller coaster, or not worrying if a seat belt in someone else's car is going to fit, but those 5 things are the ones on the forefront of my mind right now.  These are the things that I look forward to YES.. but  they are also the things that help to keep me motivated.  So on I go.  Working toward the goals that I have for myself.
