What nsv are you looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

Besides the normal ones, shopping in the regular clothes, no more meds for health issues...

1) buying a bra at Victoria Secrets and pushing the girls back up where they belong.

2) coughing and not having to cross my legs. The mommy cough as my friends call it.

3) not having to worry about camel toe when I wear pants.

What are you looking forward to?

Here are my 3 things:

1) being able to fit into a teeny airline seat (I have to travel for over 12 hours to get back to the States to visit family) -- I would like not to have to worry if I'm spilling over onto someone else.

2) I would like to buy clothes here in Paraguay where all the women are super thin. So far, I'm still ordering from the States.

3) I am looking forward to going to the beach/pool in a swimming suit and not feel like a beached whale.

Definitely thighs not rubbing together anymore. I'm getting pretty close to it, but I think it'll take getting to goal weight to completely get rid of the problem. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to find shorts long enough to be able to walk in without my thighs chafing raw after 10 blocks.

Going to a patio party and fitting in those itsy bitsy plastic seats without my thighs bluging out the sides and the worry that is this chair going to break.

Shopping at a non-plus size store and getting great deals

traveling around the world and feeling comfortable in the airplane seats back in coach

1. No more New Years Resolutions. I always feel like a failure when I have come to yet another year and have not lost weight.

2. Not dreading pictures anymore because I have to face how big I really am.

3. New clothes!

1. To be able to go to weddings and funerals without trying to hide from people I haven't seen in years.

2. When I hear that someone has died, to react appropriately to the situation, and not with, "Oh shit! How do I get out of going to this?"

3. To willingly have my picture taken, and to stop saying to people who've taken my picture, "Don't you dare post that on the internet!"

4. To shop for clothes in real stores, and not just online.

5. To wear clothes that aren't fat lady clothes.

6. To feel good!

7. Cute shoes.

8. It's too late for me to ever expect to wear swimsuits in public, but maybe in my own backyard swimming pool?

9. To be able to sit in a booth, comfortably.

10. To be able to be seated in any chair in the room.

Something i haven't haven't even thought about but I've achieved even though I haven't reached goal yet: Being able to wrap myself completely in a NORMAL towel, not one of those huge sheet towels, loving it!! :D

I remember when a normal towel fit. Now it covers 2/3 of me. I would also love to be able to be able to wear shorts without having to pull them down from creeping. It's amazing how much we avoid that we do not even think about anymore. It has become the norm. I sometimes wonder how this happened, but I guess it just does over time. Your jeans start getting tight so you buy a bigger size and blame it on the dryer shrinking your clothes. Then one day you look at a picture and barely recognize yourself. Hopefully the opposite will happen soon enough for us. I have never felt so overweight as I did at a team building exercise at work on Wednesday. We had a scavenger hunt at the zoo. By the end of the day, I thought I was going to keel over. Next year I will be up for the challenge. I can't wait.

I just thought of another one.

When someone parks their car a little too close, I don't want to have to suffer the embarrassment of not being able to squeeze into my car. :(

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
