Things I would like to do

There are many things that I am looking forward to doing as I lose weight. Some of you may think these are silly, or odd, if you've never been heavy or larger. The reason I thought of this list was because I shaved my legs last night, which I usually avoid, since I barely ever show my legs, and shaving in a pain.

So here's my big ole list, no pun intended:

• wearing dresses without bike shorts


• being able to have the same clothes fit from year to year, instead of the dreaded, "Crap, this fit last spring. Dammit!"


• buying nicer clothes that will last, instead of disposable ones
  
• hiking, basketball, volleyball, walking, jogging, etc. (Image source: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/950697)


• not having to take acid reflux medicine
  
• no more aches and pains (back, neck, knee, feet, etc.)


• sleeping better and not snoring as much
  
• shopping the smaller/smallest sizes in plus size stores - you know you need to get crackin when you can't shop in some plus size sections or stores anymore.


• people noticing that I'm losing weight


• seeing people I haven't seen in a while - you know, you don't see someone for a few years and you gain a bunch of weight during that time, and you know that they know, and you feel self-conscious
  
• keeping up with my husband and friends


• fitting nicely in an airplane seat and being able to easily walk down the aisles and move in the airplane bathroom


• fitting comfortably in all restaurant chairs and booths, not having to worry as I'm approaching the booth and wondering if I'll fit


• not being so tired all the time


• tying my shoes with ease


• shaving my legs


• weighing less than J, who is much taller than I am
