*If you haven't had surgery yet, list what you hope to have more of*



I have more...

Room in booths at restaurants when I go out.

Money in my wallet after grocery shopping… I eat wayyyyyyyyyyy less! 

Self confidence 

Sex with my fiance!  Bow chicka wow wow! 

Energy to do every day tasks and then some!

Appreciation for fruits, veggies and proteins! 

More friends online and in my support groups.

More clothes that are TOO BIG.

Seatbelt room.

More to-go boxes in my fridge haha.

More smiles when I step on the scale.

More happy days than not 

 

…. just to name a few. 

 

What do YOU have MORE of now that you have LESS weight?

Ha! Love your list!  Let's see...for years and year (and years), I never had more than 3 dresses and a couple of sweaters.  Now that I'm closing in on my goal weight I have been having:

MORE fun shopping and that means that I have a LOT

MORE clothes!  Cute ones, too!

More confidence, now that I don't feel like cringing because I have imposed my massive self on the public!

More (MUCH more) energy.  I can run forever it feels like...and I'm training now for my first "real, honest-to-goodness" 5K this summer :)

More time cuz when I lost the weight I decided to not put off retirement!! :)  Which means that I also have

MORE FUN!!  I can run, bike, hike, shop, chase the granddaughter, garden, swim...I am definitely...

More Happy!!  :O)

Love both your lists and here is mine: more clothes in my closet that fit me and look good,more fun shopping,more food left to take home when I eat out,more exercise equipment that actually gets used as something other than a clothes hanger,more energy,a cleaner house and more fun doing things like flea markets with my husband.

More towel to wrap around me.  Love that.

More willingness to run upstairs to grab whatever it is that is perpetually left up there.

More summits, i heart mountaineering.

More clothes, tank tops, cute undies, dresses!

More weird awkward moments that make me giggle when folks assume I have always been thin and say things like, "Well, i imagine you have never had to worry about your weight."

More space in booths.

More happy doctor appointments where my weight is not mentioned at all.

More hula hooping.

More time dreaming and planning fun activities like rock climbing and slack lining.

More outdoor gear, it is piling up!

More fun playing with my kids, scooters are wicked fun.

More joy.  Weight loss hasn't miraculously solved all my problems, but the truth is, i feel so much more joy.

More photographs with me in them.

More clothes in a variety of styles.

I enjoy exercise more.

My grocery bill is "more," but my restaurant bills are smaller.

I love all of the lists, especially more self confidence and more towel to wrap around!  I know I love having more self-confidence and actually like looking in the mirror now!
