When I get healthier and happier I'm going to do a few things I've always wanted but have never felt able/worthy ....... I'm going to
  • Photograph brown bears on the Russian/Finnish border
  • See the northern lights (not Blackpool!)
  • Volunteer at an orangutan sanctury in Indonesia
  • Never take my health for granted
How about you????

.loose weight
.go to the gym
.be able to walk the shops
.not have to depend on people
.go to uni

i will just stick with these simple things for now proberbley when i have acheived them i will have some more to put down.

My dreams are

- to be able to look at myself in a mirror and not be disgusted at what I see.

- to be able to walk into somewhere that sells cheap clothes and be able to buy clothes that are on the models in the window display.

- get some semblence of normality back and get a new job

I dream about buying new clothes from White Stuff and Monsoon, my two favourite clothes shops and not having to replace the toilet seat at least once a year cause it's broken again. (Or is that just me lol.)

My 'slim dream' is to swim with a dolphin. At the moment it would be more like a whale swimming with it!
 
my dreams are on the way, i dreamt of surgery ... i got it.. i dreamt of weight loss ... it happening...

i am dreaming of having family photos taken as never had one with kids as i cudnt bare to see myself on them..

dreaming of been able to look at myself and not see the horrible image i see now..

dreaming of been a real mam to my kids as they never go to pleasure parks as i always stand out in crowd ...

and lastly i dream of hapiness which i know is only a small way away....

i have also booked us all in as a family to do the coast to coast bike ride next august .. mad eh .but want to do something worth while to celerbrate my weightloss

I dream of being able to enjoy my job without feeling like I have to do more than my colleagues because I am fat.
I dream of having the self confidence to try on clothes in a shop, rather than bringing them home and forgetting to take them back!
I dream of playing with my daughter and not being winded.
 
Excellent thread - I was very big and down when I first saw the Bariatric Team and as they remind me my initial dream was just to be able to walk the dog again - as I am able to do that even post op and she is getting on in years (the dog that is) and obviously regrets that dream I have now revised the dream and however soft it sounds, having been visited by the Angels during the dark days of post op complications I live my dream and thats how simple the dream is - TO ENJOY LIVING
 
i had so many dreams prior to my surgery. The following have come true already:
. develop self esteem
. run to the car when its raining
. cross my legs (though not gr8 for my varicose veins lol)
. not have a sore back
. have the strength to end an extremely unhappy marriage
. like what i see when i look in the mirror

The following have yet to come but I know they will:

. run (the gym i go to have asked me to run a 10k run with them in March)
. buy non plus size clothes - almost there - bought size 20 jeans last week - some difference from my usual size 32
. feel that i "fit" in - I am already starting to think this way but my excess skin on my arms which is harder to hide than the rest, is holding me back, so until I have this removed I probably wont be 100% there
 
& urs too Dinda :)
 
id love to run the race for life, in aid of my dad who died last year with bowel cancer, just my weight and asthma in the way lol
 
and thanks for the link :) xxx
 
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you will be fitter way before 2015, Caren

To get the thread back on track, just thought of another 'slim dream'.

I want to say YES to the next college reunion invite. (instead of making excuses like for the last 30 years)
 
Great post
Gotto say i'm already starting to work my way through my dream list
started scuba diving (it's not the best look, me in a wetsuit, but i grin and bare it for the rewards) and have swam with dolphines, rays, sharks, turtles, and more fish than i can remember :)
completed the race for life this year, jogged a little, walked a lot!! and caren it's such a great feeling when you get to the finish line
walked up snowdon ( which nearly kiiled me ) but what a fantastic view from the top, it was breathtaking, never thought last year that i'd ever be able to do that.
good luck to all of you x
