Pixers

1) Also never have to shop in Lane Bryants again
2) Be able to buy tight fitting clothes instead of ones that are too big so they hide my rolls
3) Keep up with my son
4) Not feel like I have to make fat jokes about myself around people just to feel comfortable
5) Taking a picture of my whole body - not just my face (and only from above) and posting it on FB!
6) Not being afraid of my side profile!
7) Enjoying the outdoors!
8) Wearing a bathing suite without a cover up!
9) Perhaps having a sex life again
10) Having a longer/healthier life!

It has been a hard journey for me. I was in the same boat.
I have gained and lost the same 10 pounds all my life. Those 10 pounds lost could have meant I wouldn't qualify. I have no comorbidities. I have bcbs. I had to suffer 6 months of not eating well or doing any exercising because I feared that I would drop below 40 BMI.
My Doctors words were. We'll I'm not telling you to eat Mc Donalds everyday...but don't lose weight. We are submitting to the insurance on Wednesday.
Even though I didn't work hard to lose weight these past 6 months like a lot of you have to, It was tough. Fearing I can't drop down any weight because I wouldn't qualify. I ate junk I normally wouldn't eat. I didn't workout because of the same fear. And The worse you eat the worse you feel and the worse you feel about yourself.
Now that I have my last appointment in I can lose those 10 lbs without fear. I just hope I am approved. Then the 6 months of feeling like crap will be worth it!
Best of luck to you all,

I too was told by my dr not to lose any weight. I had to have a 6 month supervised diet. I finally finished my last appointment we are submitting to the insurance on 6/18. I am so nervous!
