Won't Miss These Part 2

Well, I skipped a day but now I am back. Just had a lot going on yesterday.

Thanks again everyone for the nice, encouraging comments. I went to the gym for my 2nd time so I am pretty proud of that.  Making it even better was that my hubby had over done it on gym day #1.  His legs were hurting so bad because he really pushed himself.  I am not glad that he hurt himself though.  What I am glad about is that he didn't want to go (don't blame him) and I had a decision to make.  I could just stay home and wait to go with hime.  That was the easier thing to do of course.  I decided to be brave and go alone.  I did it and I was so glad I did!  Yippe!  I really want to make regular exercise a part of my life.

Ok, on with my list of things I will not miss when I am down to my goal weight (and probably before that). 

#4  I will not miss shopping in a plus size store.  That one will be awesome.  I lost weight many years ago and remember when I was able to shop in the "regular" store.  It was so exciting.  Technically, I think I was wearing a 16 so I could have shopped in the plus size stores.  Why would I thought?  I loved the ability to shop with the normal sized ladies.  It was awesome! 

#5  I will not miss all the evaluating I have to do on every piece of clothing I buy.  Is this shirt too short, is it too boxy/square.  Hey, that is a round neck line and that is not good for me.  That is a little too snug.  It would fit fine on a "normal size girl" but nobody wants to see that chunky cellulite on the back of my legs.  Ugh!  Way too much stress.  I know I will still need to have some common sense but there will be a lot less limitations. 

#6  I will not miss the stress of clothes shopping.  It is so depressing and stressful.  It is like going on a treasure hunt every time I go shopping.  Will I find something today or will I go home empty handed? 

#7  I will not miss shopping for bras!  Ugh!  Of course, I will still shop for them and purchase them.  However, I think it will be a LOT easier when everything (and I do mean everything) is smaller! 

As you can see my list revolves a lot around clothing and shopping.  Had another painful experience with that yesterday so it was a bit fresh.

Great list!!!

So right there with you.....especially on the bras!!!  Whenever I take my measurements I am SO thrilled to see inches gone from the girls!!!  :) 

Thanks for commenting on my blog :)  I've lived in IN all my life...well, except one year I guess technically but I don't remember that LOL  My parents moved here from IL when I was 1 yo.  We live in the country, I've lived here for 20 years since I got married.  Used to go to Muncie quite a bit when I was growing up.  Small world!!

Love it!

I just love your lists!  That is such a creative way of thinking of this journey!  Good for you that you went ahead to the gym without your husband.  I know what you mean about excuses!  I am the queen of them!  I've hated exercise and now that I use my ipod and have encouragement from your guys, I'm doing well!  We WILL make exercise a part of our life!!!!  Good for you!!!  I'm off to go see my husband's stepdad.  I'll check on you next week.  Have a great weekend!

Shopping

I love your lists!  I can't wait for the day that I can just go pick up a size medium shirt (okay, large--the "girls" won't ever fit into a medium!), and walk out without having to try it on.   We can do it!
