    K8ecakes got a reaction from DaisyChainOz in Weirdest things you are looking forward to after surgery   
    Sitting in a booth in a restaurant again
    Riding rollercoasters again and not being told I'm too big to ride them
    Not having people scoot way out of the way when I'm walking toward them (seriously, I'm not 6 feet wide).
    Not constantly wearing cardigans everywhere and at all times during the summer
    Not being told by sales associates "we don't carry your size, so don't bother trying anything on" (was told to me at an Anne Taylor)
    The biggest real one for me is not passing down bad habits to my daughter.
    The second biggest one is staving off hypertension and diabetes which runs in my family.

    Absolutely...stalls & patience. However, I look at stalls now as a way for my body to catch up to the weight loss~ I find it’s important to think about what our bodies are going through~ I already have some excess skin, however, I find that it’s not quite as bad after a stall. (Or maybe that’s just hope lol) Try not to focus on the scale, do NOT weigh yourself everyday, or several times a day! Stay focused on your path and new lifestyle, and improvements- keep moving forward! Don’t forget to do your measurements, as well! Often, the scale won’t be moving, however, inches will!!! (Woot woot!!!) My daughter keeps showing me pictures from last year, or sometime in the past to help me keep things in perspective....because I KNOW how much I have lost, etc., however, I still see myself as before- it’s difficult to let reality set in, I guess! I think we all agree that this place helps as well..no matter what you’re going through, whether it’s tailbone pain rubbing on your butt skin, the reactions of others, etc...you are NOT alone! Most of all...enjoy the process and the new you!!! ~xo~ Oh, and being able to sit at a booth or normal sized chair with arms on it without worrying about what I like to call “suck & tuck”, PRICELESS!!! Or, worry about if the chair will cling to you as you get up, making the dreaded scraping noise, while everyone turns to look at you. Keep going...and LIVE!!!

    Be prepared for stalls along the way. They are normal, albeit frustrating, so you need to be okay with them when they happen and not get discouraged or give up.
