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

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?

Doing my own pedicure; seeing every part of my body when I wash it in the tub; looking at pictures after a party and I am the biggest one, and really realizing how bad I looked

I can not wait to go through my closet and throw away (or give away) ALL my clothes and start over.

I cant wait to be able to go to "normal" stores and be able to shop in the mall. Not having to go to plus size stores or sections of the store.

I am getting sleeved jan 29th 4 days away! I am so excited to not be winded after playing with my one and a half year old, i am excited not to wear out the crotch in my jeans all the time, i want my man to be able to pick me up. Im excited for the shopping and dressing like the 23 year old i am an not a 60 year old. I want to not be called fat or hear " lose some weight" yelled from a speedig vehichle while i walk on the side walk. I want to feel happy with me!

Were high heels and not feel like big foot walking around in them

I am new to this and this is my first post... Me and my husband took our kids on a family day a couple weeks ago, they all wanted to go to kart country. I was thinking in the back of my mind family fun for who them because i couldn't race cars, so there i was on the side lines watching everyone having fun but my 375 pound butt.... Its hard having a husbsnd that is so small and doesn't understand and don't care....wish he told me i was pretty....

You are Beautiful

How about no more "fat bows" on your shoes! For those who haven't noticed...look at fat peoples tennis shoes! Bows are always to the side! Lol

The bowing is really bad in ballet flats too!

I can't wait to NOT want to avoid going inside my kid's school for assemblies, sports, sign outs, etc. I never wanted to embarrass her.

And I can't wait to NOT freeze my poor husband out. He is wrapped in a jacket, a hat, and a blanket and I am in front of the fan, eating a sugar-free popsicle.

I can't wait to not think about how I look anymore

I can't wait to not have to pull my pants up over my muffin top when I stand up

I can't wait to wear heels comfortably

Cher, I had an ex that always asked me to wear extremely sexy undies that he found in my drawer. ...he would say. Baby why you never wear these they were a size 6...but my bum was a size 10....I said OK and came to bed with the sexy undies on my head holding in hair rollers. ....LOL

LMAO omg that made my day:)

I can't wait to NOT have to ask for a table instead of a booth, and not have to feel like I'm dying just to put on socks and lace my shoes, and not worry incessantly about going to someplace where I will have to walk a lot.

One of most frightening things that happened to me this summer was being at a local amusement park and my adolescent boy wanted to go on a roller coaster. I wasn't going to for different reasons but nonetheless they had a seat to sit in prior to the ride to see if you fit. No more measuring height. This time it was a matter if my fat ARSE would fit! Humiliating.

I have had the same issues and I love going on roller coasters I have actually had the ride attendants push on my chest harness so hard that they were doing push ups off my chest in order to get in latched....Very embarrassing I was sleeved on 2/5 and can't wait to be able to go on ride and not have that happen...
