What Are Some Things You Can't Wait For Once You Loose Weight?



Recommended Posts

When I have my surgery & loose my weight I can't wait to drive comfortably, because my seatbelt is kinda tight. And I can't wait to walk down the street & don't feel like people are looking at me.

I can't wait til I can be comfortable in my clothes, comfortable in my own skin, be able to play volleyball with my daughter without feeling like I'm gonna die or look like an idiot, I love to swim & can't wait until I'm not the biggest one in the pool & thinking everyone is looking at me going OMG she should not be in here. There are a ton more but these are just a few.

I can't wait to not have to over think everything...from what am I gonna wear, what if I don't fit in the chair, what if I look like an idiot, where to shop, etc. I'm ready to not be the biggest person in the room! Just to be normal, relaxed and go with the follow because I'm not worrying.

I can't wait to shop at a regular size store with my friends instead of avoiding shopping with them.

I also can't wait to be competing in sports again. Right now I feel like I don't get asked to go for runs or walks because I am too big!

I'd also can't wait to sit in my car with a thick winter coat and turn the wheel without holding my breath!

How about walking through the sand at the beach without stopping half way there and stop and rest while the rest of my family is running.

I cant wait to not be so paranoid about going out in public, thinking people are watching everything I do....I also can't wait to travel more....two of my cousins, both around my age, agreed to go on a fun trip with me once I make it 100 pounds lost!!! SO I'm looking forward to that!!

I can't wait to participate in picture taking. I avoid the camera like the plague because when I see the pictures, I am mortified. I also can't wait to wear white and not feel/look like the Michelin Man. I mostly can't wait to wake up everyday and my first thought not be about how fat I am and feeling hopeless about changing it.

Oh and one more thing. This may seem silly to you but I want to be able to look cute in just a plain ole white tank top and jeans. LOL

I can't wait to wear clothes that don't have an X in the size. I can't wait for my feet to not kill me when I wear heels all day. I can't wait to no longer have deep marks in my back from bra straps. I can't wait to enjoy having my picture taken again. I can't wait to not feel anxious, hot and sweaty in social situations. Oh my, the list could go on and on.

      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!!
