Things I can't wait to do!



Recommended Posts

Mine will sound cheesy and shallow, but here goes:

I can't wait to take a picture with my son who is now 8 months old. So far, I've only been in a few pictures with him, shown only from the neck up. I've taken hundreds of pictures of him alone though :)

I can't wait to be able to update my Facebook picture with a RECENT picture of me, and not just my baby. LOL

I can't wait to have my SO sweat when other guys are checking me out.

I can't wait to *not* feel like getting my hair and nails done are a waste of time because I'm fat.

I can't wait to not have to worry that I will run into someone who knew me back when I was slim at the grocery store.

I can't wait to work out at the gym without worrying about feeling and looking fat.

Gosh, I can't wait to leave the house more! I've been practically hiding out in my house for the past year!

OMG! This is exactly what I was thinking about. I have three sons, 16 yrs, 12yrs and 17months old. I have tons of pictures with my first and middle child, but I have not dared to take any with the baby. I avoid taking pictures with him becuse I dislike the way I look. Yet, i know that time is passing by and that he is growing up and i am missing out on creating memories with mommy on print.

AnywayS,

I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MY KIDS AND HUSBAND

Go Lorip!

You will run a k5 some day. When you are comfortable walking fast, try the couch to 5k. It's awesome program. I always hating jogging and thought it was for other people but I did my first 5K on July 4th, less than 4 months after surgery. I ran the first 2 miles then walked/jogged the last one. There is a 5k (dress as your fav dead celebrity) on Oct 28th and I want to be able to jog the whole thing. Good luck too you!

I want to wear sexy Halloween costumes! Also I can't wait to Run a 5k.:D

Yep....this is totally me! I hate running into people from my past that knew me "back in the day". I also have no photos of me and my kids. The ones I do have, I would never ever post on facebook.

I also can't wait to wear jeans and and have no rolls that hang over the side....

I can't wait to not wear Spanx under my clothes.....

I can't wait to wear a bikini.... (I have never ever worn one!)

I can't wait to wear a tight fitting shirt with no rolls popping out everywhere...

And last but not least, I can't wait to shop at Lu Lu Lemon and all the other "cool" stores that have teeny tiny clothes

I also forgot to type that I can't wait to not suck in my tummy ALL the time! It's something I do constantly and don't even realize I do it.

TMI, but I know some can relate to these:

I look forward to being able to easily wipe my butt :0/

I'd like to not get out of breath doing the simplest tasks, like putting socks on.

I can't wait to actually want to put more effort In my appearance and enjoy looking in the mirror.

I can't wait to have enough guts to actually go on a date.

I hate going to doctors offices, they are kind enough to offer "big" chairs but I don't wanna sit in them! Even the bariatric center I go to has the wide ass chairs. I need them right now but I soooo hate to use them.

Or any chair with arms....I hate that...not long before that won't happen again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting comfortable in a concert hall seat.

Shopping at regular stores, wearing regular jeans, not stretch jeans.

Wearing a dress and feeling great in it!

Not worrying if I will be able to fit in the rides at theme parks

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
