Things to look forward to when I'm thin: (This is going to be long)
I'll be hot, so I can get all the guys. ;-)
Wearing shorts, definitely
Not worrying about whether the store's size 14 is too small. Right now I don't fit into 14s again yet, but I'm about to. But this was a problem I had when I was a 14. If I didn't fit into it, tough luck.
Also, not having to go to stores that extend their clothing sizes.. like Old Navy has 16s and 18s.. (I refuse to shop at plus size stores) I'm comfortable in almost all 16s, so I figure I'll be in the 14s in 15-20lbs or so.
So we can conclude: I can shop ANYWHERE I want.
There are several people that I was "friends" with in high school that looked down on me because I was bigger than them... Like they used me to make me feel better about themselves.. I'll call them up for lunch or something ;-)
Everyone will be proud of me being able to accomplish something like this.
Hopefully my success will inspire family members to lose weight.
Being able to pull off a lot more looks than before. Clothing-wise, hair-wise, sunglasses.. whatever. Anything.
People will pay more attention to me. Most people automatically assume that I'm not confident... because I'm overweight. They just assume that I have no self-confidence and I'm ignored a lot. I am quite confident in everything except my weight, which I'm fixing.
I can toss out all my big clothes.
I will be able to comfortably fit in all bath tubs.
Not being ashamed to say what size clothes I wear or how much I weigh.
More confident.. sexually.
People are nicer to thinner people. (I've noticed this as I've lost weight.. I get a much different response from people I don't know... much more positive)
I won't need to worry if people are judging me by my weight... like in job interviews and stuff. Since employers are more likely to hire thinner people.
Less back/foot pain.
Lower blood pressure.
More energy, more healthy.
And the big reason... The one thing that has haunted me and bothered me my entire life will be fixed. I will be much happier about myself because I won't have the "I'm so fat" thoughts nagging at me all the time.
