the simple things in life....

be overweight...well that was being kind...ok i will restart...being obsese...(i hate that word) does throw a wrench in some everyday functions that one might not realize...so here is my top 20 list of activities/functions i cant wait to do after my surgery and the weight starts coming off. (no particular order)

 

1. Stop shopping at Lane Bryant! (now i am greatful that this store exist, but to hate having to only depend on one store, can be aggrevating. i just love it when a skinny girl says cute outfit and i can reply...sorry they dont make it in your size. that feels great!)

2. wearing a belt.

3. tuck in my shirt (i am required to tuck in my shirt at work but i so get away with i by wearing the work sweatshirt (cause it has the county seal on it) and i am getting HOT)

4. fly on a plane and not be nervous that someone is going to tell me to buy another seat (thank goodness that hasnt happened yet)

5. fly on a plane without asking for a seat belt extension.

6. Wear SHORTS...omg that will be a day in history when i leave the house in shorts.

7. go to the gym (yes i know i will need to work out but i rather work out in my home...i cant find cute workout clothes for big girls)

8. get back on the wii (that damn thing says i past the weight limit!!! isnt this thing suppose to help me loose weight...well it cant if it wont let me on!)

9. get a full tan (not the shorts tan) might even be brave to get a spray on!

10. bend over and tie my shoes without my damn belly getting in the way.

11. go to a resturant without worrying if i will fit into a both!

12. sitting in a plastic chair without the fear of it busting underneath me.

13. sitting in a chair with arm rest...so not hip friendly.

14. feeling comfrontable in the passenger side of others car..is it just me or isnt it uncomfrontable...feel like i am a sardine.

15. jogging without my knees screaming for help ( i cant even tell you the last time i ran)

16. looking in a mirror (i only look once a day)

17. doing water activities. (my kiddie pool is not cutting it anymore)

18. buying a dress or skirt

19. be more comfrontable in the bedroom (thats all i am saying)

20. Wear actual skinny jeans...not jeans that are tight and not meant to be! and totally be able to actual put them in the dryer!!!

I can totally relate to you on many of these activity goals. No matter how simply they are it's important to people like us to be able to do them. One of my activity goals is to simply walk around the whole Galleria mall without sitting down to rest or feeling exhausted and like I'm going to pass out. Sounds like your headed down the path of success and you'll be doing these activities in no time. Much luck to you!

Dang, you stole my list! LOL Well, it may as well be my list, it's so similar. With this surgery, we now have the opportunity to actually cross things off that list. Best of luck crossing of yours!
