Specific goals for WLS

I saw the psychiatrist today for my surgery.  He asked me what my specific goals are.  I didn't really know and gave him some cheesy answer.  But it made me wonder what my goal really are.

Of course I want to lose weight, 100 pounds or more, but what else?

I want to be active.  I want to run races, I want to snow shoe and kayak and ride a bike without feeling like I'm going to fall off. 

I want to ride on the back of a motorcycle and not feel like I'm going to tip the bike.

I want to not be embarrassed of my size in pictures.

I want to have energy to play with Boo.

I want to have energy to play with Big Boo!

I want to get off the couch.

I want to shop for cute clothes anywhere I want.

I want to be strong.

I want to not be best friends with food and use it to comfort myself.

I want to live life to the fullest.

I don't want to hurt when I do any physical activity unless it's the good-I've-worked-out-hard kind of pain.

I want to feel as young on the outside as I do in the inside.

I want to try new things and not be so afraid, like:

               Skiing
               Skating
               Ice skating
               Wall climbing
               Kayaking
            
I want to not be so embarrassed to interact with new people, like in school.

I don't want to be the fattest person in the room.

There are so many more reasons, I'll have to keep adding to the list when they come up.
