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?

I can't wait to wear a pair of nice-fitting jeans with a belt, and my shirt tucked in!

Looking foward to NOT standing on my daily commute because I'm embarrassed to share a 2-seater.

Can't wait to not panic when at a restaraunt they are about to seat us at a booth, and I'm wondering if I can fit!

Can't wait to not have to worry if my shirt is pulled down all the way in the back, so my big b---- is not showing:)

Livinglifeout: my backpack always pulls my sweater up over my behind!!! = HATE lol

I have been the one that had to get off off of a ride because I didn't fit.. Just awful.. I also commute by air to work 3-4 times a week.. Often I struggle to bucke the seatbelt .. If I get it at all.. And not to mention the looks I get from my seat mates.. Oh I could go on!!! Just waiting to hear from the scheduler.. Can't wait!!

Cant wait to wear something nice to sleep instead of a big ass shirt.

I cant wait to dress my age.

Cant wait for my stomach not to hang over my jeans. And always look like a rice sack wearing a belt.

I cant wait to say " damn i look good in that dress"

I cant wait for people to not judge me by my appearence but by my brains and heart

My life..tight sleeves, too may layers, 3x No!!, seatbelts, waterparks, beaches, weddings, parties, photos, being underestimated, self conscious, fat walks in the room first, my fat comes before me, always on my mind, will this still fit -no too tight, another month, another season, another year no change, the dream fades, mommy why do the kids say your fat, make the appointment, walk thru the door. -am I really this big - denial - doc says need sleeve not band -I am that big - thought this blouse hid it - Nut says you can get it all off....all off...don't look better (band) look great...all off. 8/27 please pray for me I'm scared.

Ull do great. Hey before u kno it ull be sayin i was dat big, and look at me now. I wish u the best that day.

How about going shooping for clothes and falling in love with a piece that they might not have in ur size or that u kno is not in ur size. Or how about running out of air while going up stair 2 or 3 floors. The looks people give u like if u not human or something. Having my relatives always reminding me how fat i am. Ive cryed over that.

My family always have said "when she finds herself a boyfriend she'll lose weight". Oh yea... I'm married and have a three year old, and I'm still fatter than heck.

To be able to wear any type of boot of my choice

Walk in heals

Rid of knee and back pain

Quit pulling up my jeans and pulling down my shirt when i get out of car

Can get up without make a "ugh" sound

Wear some jeans and actually have my belt show

Be able to groom below and see the results without breaking my damn neck trying to see what was missed!!!
