While I'm waiting to be sleeved, I constantly look forward to being healthy and slim. There are many daily reminders of why I decided to embark on this adventure.

We've all had moments where we think to ourselves, "Oh, I can't wait to NOT have to do this anymore!" For instance, having to "go by feel" to buckle up your seatbelt in the car, having to wake up to turn over in bed, sweating continuously...

What are some of yours?

LOL

•Shop on the plus side of the store.

•wear frumpy clothes because that's what it's my short fat body.

•shop out of town for clothes.

• cry in the dressing room.

That's it for now

Eeeek Liz!!! I want to punch your *friend* in the face

Yea I second that. and her significant other too!

Fit into the gown when I go from a mammography!!!!

This is my favorite thread right now...if you've never been a big person...then you have no idea what we hear or how we feel

I can't wait to have more then four pairs of Jeans that fit.

I can't wait to get looks because i'm smiling, not for being fat.

I can't wait to never hear your so unhealthy, even though i'm healthy.

I can't wait to be able to play sports and not hurry for days. My husband said.

I can wait too not have fat tax on my close because of size.

Can't wait to look like I feel inside.

Can't edit to be the confident me I use to be..

Sleeved 11/15

I can't wait to...

NOT stand in front if my closet for half an hour trying to magically manifest a cute outfit

NOT decline invites

NOT hide behind hoodies, hats or averted glances instead of making eye contact because in my damaged brain, I'm convinced that people are just trying to justify judging me.

NOT avoid family trips. I SO want to take my kids to Darien Lake next summer. I avoided it this summer bc I LOVE roller coasters & waterslides, but I can't do those anymore...for now!

NOT feel awkward in my body in EVERY moment/experience of my day!

NOT be a slave to whatever crazy diet change I'm in the grips of "today". To not have to think about stupid foooooood so much. Grrrrrrz.

NOT hear the applause when I try to jog &/or just walk too fast (or during certain adult activity positions lol)

NOT hurt/ache so much. I know there's a possibilty that it won't necessarily improve w/wt loss, but I'm STILL HOPING! :}

That's on my Christmas list!!!! :-)

I can't wait to not have little kids ask me if I am pregnant and have to reply "No, honey. I am just fat."

I can't wait to actually have a lap for my kids to sit on.

To not have my mother apologize because I didn't inherit her metabolism.

To not move tables with my stomach and have others try to figure out why it is moving.

To not worry if I embarrass my kids with my weight. I would rather embarrass them on purpose
