I Can't Wait To Not Have To...



Recommended Posts

I'm new here, but I can not wait to NOT have to ask my husband to paint my toenails. Or buckle my sandles. Or pass on the cute pair of heels and go for the flats instead. Or...... Struggle to clean properly after a bathroom trip.... Hey. Someone had to go there! Lol!

Wonder if people are wandering how I got my husband.

Have more self confidence to go after what I want

Wear boots for the first time in my life

Walk without sweating to death

I can go on and on

Yes!!! My husband is very cute, and while he totally loves me, I always feel like people look at us and think "she must have a really good personality!!"

Oh and the sweating! My son gets a kick out of that.

... to have a car full of teenagers pull up beside me walking and say "excuse me, where is Dunkin Donuts?" then laugh wildly and drive away.

... to have a stranger casually mention how much I resemble (insert name of an old, unattractive, obese celebrity).

... to use any public restroom stall, NOT just the wheelchair one.

... do a double take when I see my own photo, reflection, or image in a security TV monitor because I can't believe my own eyes that it's ME who is that big.

Just remembered one: I can't wait to not have my arse cheek pinched/caught as I sit on a toilet with a loose seat that shifts off in one direction while I overcompensate in the other direction. Ouchie.

Can't wait not having to think "Am I going to be able to fit on this ride" while standing in line to get on a rollercoaster. Torture...LOL

I haven't been to Six Flags in 15 yrs and it was snug back then. I can't wait to be able to take my son.

Wow reading some of these post made me laugh!

Here I go:

I can't wait to fly on a pane, take a cruise

Can't wait to be able to ride a bike and go skating with my kids

Can't wait to cross my legs

Can't wait to actually go to a store for my clothes instead of online

Can't wait to be a happier HEALTHY ME!!!

I can't wait to not wear something under my dress or skirt to keep my inner thighs from getting the dreaded "chub rub" redness and pain

I know this sounds weird, but have you tried using antiperspirant on your inner thighs? Works wonders for me - even during 100* summer days.

Yes! The only thing that ever worked for me was a pair of bike pants or short tight work out pants under my dress or working skirt. Baby power, antiperspirant, anti-chafing creams- nothing else worked.

Also, if up under the "girls" tends to break out or be all sweaty anti perspirant works great there too ! And not having to wear a slip under a sundress in 110 degree heat because of feeling the terror that someone might be able to see through my skirt it if I stand in the bright light !

I can't wait to not feel like I've had a 2 hour workout just taking a shower.... it's hard to wash all those fat rolls !! To not be embarrassed for my hubby to see me naked... to be able to enjoy sex without fear of how I look , to not be the blunt of everyone's jokes when I walk by , to be able to sit in the seats at concerts/sports venues..... to be able to play with my grandchild after it's born....Most importantly I can't wait for the real me that has been trapped , held prisoner for so many years to finally come out and live instead of just existing.

      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?
