aims and ambitions??

[mayamoo]

Has anyone got any aims and ambitions or things they are looking forward to when they get to goal??? I'm keeping a paper diary after my best friend bought me a beautiful one for Xmas and I have noted down each day things I'm looking forward to so if it gets tough I can re read my hopes for the future ... Here's a few if mine.. what are yours?
* I have my glider pilot licence but too heavy to fly right now so I want to take that up again.
* I will be purchasing some (several) pairs of the shoes I have coveted for years .. and be able to walk in them! Christian Louboutins. <3
* I want to get a full bike licence and leathers without looking like I need harpooning.
* I want to sit comfortably on a plane and not need a god damn extender belt
* I don't want my size to be the first thing people notice about me
* I dont want to constantly have to think about my size and how much space I take up....


Just a few I may post some more but I'm interested to hear yours ...

hi mayamoo,
loved your post and i myself share a number of the same aims and wishes as you, ie., enjoyable flights without lapband, people noticing me for me and not my size and of course the worry of 'fitting in spaces' chairs, on public transport, cafe seats that are fixed etc.,
but my biggest fantasy is to own and be able to wear a nice tight fitting pair of jeans with some black knee high boots.
a far off dream i know as i am still pre-opper but i think the idea of a paper diary is a fab one and, if i may - i think i will copy you and do the same.
loadsa love n stuff
jan xx

Oh soooo many things but here are a few favourites:

Going to a theme park with my kids and not worrying whether I can fit in the seats
Going swimming and not hating myself as I run into the pool
Shopping in 'normal' shops that only go up to size 16 and being able to buy stuff
Wearing knee high boots
Wearing nice underwear
Going for a family portrait

Soon, hopefully soon!?! X

So many of our aims are similar!
* I want to go start riding lessons without looking like an unfortunate Thelwell charactor or someone calling the rspca for cruelty to animals.
* I want to go jet skiing again - I used to go regularly pre monsterous weight gain
* I want to not feel I have to evaluate how far away everything is before I decide to go somewhere and have to walk a distance
* I have done a bungee jump before and would love to do one again but I dont think there is enough elastic in production to stop me face planting the ground right now
* I want to go for a meal with friends and when it comes out and they say oh lordy I can't eat all that not think to myself are you kidding me I could eat all mine and both yours ans wish we ordered a side to boot!

I want to get my bike licence too, I got a scooter for my 18th birthday and was lookin forward to learning to ride it but it was stolen a week after my birthday and dumped in the canal at the end of the road and I hadn't even had chance to insure it, I was 20 stone then, but id never dare get on a bike now so that's another of my aims Xx

Cut my toenails and put my socks on without pain or strain
Walk rather than lumber
Be able to keep up with my husband when out walking
Not have a problem with seats in public places (arms, small round seats that dig into my thighs, invading other people's space etc)
Go skating
Be able to shop *anywhere* and buy clothes because because I like them rather than because they are the only thing that fit
And a few things in the bedroom which are a distant memory :love:
