    Default How about a " Bucket List " for motivation ?

    My nurse and nutritionist had a good idea for me. I am 2 wk pre op now and they said, why dont you make yourself a "Bucket List " of things you want to do or accomplish after you have lost weight. Things you have not done before because of mobility , health, or just plain ol embarrassed.

    So here is my question - Do any of you have a Bucket list and what kind of things are you putting on it?? I think this is a great idea to set a goal, not for weight loss but things you will now be able to do ! Doesnt have to be spectacular, anything, everyday normal stuff.

    One of mine, going for a walk in the woods. Riding a bike. Not feeling ashamed to get on an airplane. Get on a carnival ride. Walk a block without being winded. Travel. Ok These are just a few of mine, how about everyone list some of theirs ?
    Honk if you want to see my finger !!

    Taking the grandsons to Disney and being able to go on every ride with them. Not having to worry about not fitting in a seat, anywhere. My husband just bought me Neil Diamond tickets for the end of May, and I would like to be able to fit in my seat without hearing rude comments all round me.

    Going back to the theater and not always have to ask for the aisle seat. I had great seats to a Broadway play but I was so uncomfortable that I asked the manager if I could sit in the back with the ushers on a bench. I saw other people my size doing the same thing. I plan on flying in January and I hope to not have to ask for the seat belt extension. I would love to walk into a restaurant and not have to say table please no booth.

    Great idea and a wonderful way to stay focused. My husband and I have been slowly crossing things off our bucket list as we move along with our weight loss. One of first ones was to comfortably sit in an airplane seat without wishing we had 2 seats. We DID IT! Another was sliding into a restaurant booth with ease, ACCOMPLISHED! In 3 weeks we are going on a cruise and we will be renting jet skis, snorkeling and parasailing. We would have never been able to do this last year. Make those lists and start crossing them off!

    He may be spoken for, how about un-leveling your washing machine and putting in an offset load on high speed to wash.



    Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

    Channing is on location here in Georgia (Savannah & Tybee Island) filming Magic Mike part 2. If I could just be cast as one of the extras, I might stand a chance! Lol! I'll be on my death bed and he'll still be on my bucket list.
