My Top 20 Bariatric Bucket List



In my post Red Is My Signature Color I talked about all the things that I used to exclude myself from because I didn't think I was worthy. Today I'm going to talk about the things that I've had to exclude or limit in my life because I couldn't do them anymore. My weight has been in the way of many things in my life. So today, I'm posting my top 20 bariatric bucket list, a list of all those things I've been wanting to have or do that I have avoided out of fear or actual inability. These are things I want to have, do, or at least try as the weight comes off and I get myself in shape and healthy. As I go through this journey, I will post updates to let you know when I've accomplished one of these things and marked it off.

Here are my current top 20 in no particular order (except #1...it is actually my #1 item):

20: Be able to wear knee high boots



19: Be able to cross my legs like a lady.



18: Fly in an airplane and not be wedged in or need a seatbelt extender



17: Go bike riding



16: Have an active social life



15: Learn Yoga & Meditation



14: Go hiking



13: Go horseback riding (haven't been since 5th grade!)



12: Jog at least a mile. I'd actually like to do a 5K



11: Ride all the big roller coasters in an amusement park (and not worry if I'll fit)



10: Take dance lessons with Ryan (ballroom, country western...)



9: Audition for community theater



8: Shop in regular clothing stores...no more plus sizes



7: Have my husband to be able to pick me up



6: Get a tattoo on my torso



5: Take a tropical vacation/cruise with my husband



4: Have professional pictures taken of my husband and me



3: Go out dancing with my hubby



2: Be thin and wear something beautiful on my 20th wedding anniversary



#1: Grow old rocking/swinging on the porch with Ryan and watching the grandchildren play in the yard.
