Recommended Posts

  • Try Snowboaring with my daughter
  • Actually buy a wet suit, and wear it in public and go surfing
  • Fly across the country and demand a middle seat, preferably between two fat people
  • Try to run regularly
  • Play Badminton (I love badminton)
  • Learn to sail
  • work on a 6pack (you know what I mean)
  • Try Kite Sailing
  • Try scuba diving (since I'll own a wet suit already)
  • Wear shirts with thick horizontal stripes
  • Shave my beard (which I had for 30 years)
  • Go to the gym and take showers and be NUDE in the locker room
  • Join a softball team
  • play basketball
  • Dance (well... maybe not dance but go where people dance)
  • Take my shirt off at the beach
  • Go swimming at a public pool (with a spedo!!)
  • Pick up coins when I drop them
  • Throw my cpap machine in the ocean
  • Buy a small car, or just rent one to see how it feels getting in and out of
  • Try indoor rock climbing
  • ride a bike, and sit on that.... seat
  • Give the middle finger to the guys at Rochester big and tall, (they are nice but damn expensive)
  • Try to help out other fat guys, somehow

What about you?

  • Actually volunteer to have my picture taken with my family
  • Wear a swimming suit AND go swimming
  • Not cringe at every family get together when I see my never-fat brothers and their thin wives
  • Never put my son in the position where he describes me as 'the fat mom' among the classroom parents
  • Not cut off the size tags on my clothes because I am embarrassed for my partner to see the size

After I hit my goal-

I'm going to:

1) Buy a $1,000 Armani Suit

2) Take the Top down on my C5 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

3) Then go to a upscale dance club - Going Solo (that will be just the way I will Roll)

4) Actually DANCE

5) then -Pick one of the top 10 hottest chicks there to dance with a little.......

then

6) Dance with ALLLL the "BIG GIRLS" for the rest of the evening!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what that will accomplish, but I know inside It will make "me" feel good. Hopefully "them" too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
