  1. one more day

    · gamyj · 03/19/2009 18:07

    well all tomorrow is my big day, the day I get banded. it has been a long time coming and it's the beginning of my new life.
    It was not an easy decision for me to come to. I think everyone wants to do it the traditional way. Unfortunatly i tried many times and failed many times, and I really feel this is my only way out of my obeseaty and my crappy health. If any of you are reading this and haven't made ur decision as to whether or not this is the right thing to do for u, just know that whatever u decide go with ur heart and ur gut. I know i am making the right decision. I did my homework and this was and is my answer.

    Hi all amy here again,
    Im going to be banded in 4 days and i thought to keep myself and others focused on why we are going through this journey, id write some of the things i hate most about being fat. Please feel free to add things!!
     
    I HATE BEING FAT BECAUSE....
     
    1. my underware constantly rolls under my belly (unless of course im wearing grannie panties)
     
    2. tying my shoe is a pain in the ass
     
    3. going up the stairs should NOT be that much work.
     
    4. Fat people clothes are UGLY... why do they think because we're fat we must be blind or have terrible taste and insist on being without style.
     
    5.can't run and play with my kids for more than 5 minutes.
     
    6. back to the clothes...not all fat women are tall with big boobs...im 5' tall and only have a b cup... finding clothes are a chore!
     
    7. THE BEACH/BATHING SUITS need i say more about that??!!
     
    8. my shorts always rise up in the thighs... oh so pretty.
     
    9. CHAFFING!!!!!
     
    10.ignorant people asking when your due... oh that one really hurt!
     
    11. the dreaded muffin top (mine is more like an entire cake lol)
     
    12. fitting into a tight booth ( not the most enjoyable dineing experience)
     
    those are just a few.... I'd love to hear your hates!!!
