  3. go on vacation and not dread the plane ride
  4. be able to buy a car I like and not one that "fits" me
  5. be able to give myself a pedicure
  6. be able to play with Shelby
  7. live longer
  8. go on rollercoasters
  9. go on cruises and experience excursions
  10. buy pretty bras and panties
  11. more confidence
  12. lead more active lifestyle; goodbye couch potato
  13. have an easier pregnancy
  14. help health conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, back pains, etc...
  15. Make new friends; food no longer my friend
  16. Wear shorts again
  17. gardening
  18. be able to cross my legs
  19. to use the turnstyle door at work instead of the handicap entrance
  20. Fit in seats at concerts, ball parks, plays, etc...
  21. So Shelby and DJ aren't embarrassed of me
  22. To be able to sit in a booth at a restaurant
  23. for DJ to carry me over any threshold
  24. To be able to wrap a towel around me without a HUGE gap
  25. To go to waterparks
  26. to be able to take the stairs instead of the elevator
  27. For people not to stare at me in the grocery store, evaluating what's in my cart and looking at my size.
