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 NOT get out of breath walking up the stairs

I can't wait to be able to wear shorts in the summertime instead of pants because I hate my legs

I cant wait to be able to run when I work out!

I was just reading through several of these posts and a much as I hate that we all feel this way, it sure is nice knowing there are others who worry about the same things that I do.

Just when you think you are the only person who feels a certain way, this place reminds me that so many of us are alike. It's nice fitting in! :)

Can't wait to not hear "...but you have such a pretty face" said to me directly as if it's a compliment!

Can't wait to rock the fashion and styles I truly love and that's fitting for a trendy 28-year old girl!

Can't wait to not be the "fat friend".

I HEAR YA!!!!

I can't wait to NOT feel so high up off the bed when I'm just lying flat. If that makes sense.

Totally understand, that s the same with sitting on something (couch, chair,etc).. You seem so high up & the skinny person next to you seems very short or low...

I can't wait to NOT wear my spanx with everything to work just so I can look a tiny bit smaller.

I hear that! Or my body magic and any other $200 dollar shapewear!

I fly a lot for work and the best feeling was not having to ask for a seat belt extender and actually have so much room now in the seats and seatbelt is swimming on me. Lol. I also used to only fly business or first class because the seats are bigger. Love seating coach now!!! Lol

I can't wait till I don't run out of breathe. Till I don't have to take shot for my diabetes. Till I'm no longer the elephant in the room. Till I can dress up and feel sexy. Till I have energy to run after my little ones. Till food isn't the boss of me.

I can't wait to:

1. Not get a panic attack every time I fly because I'm waiting for the day they tell me I needed to buy two tickets.

2. To be able to go on those stand up electric carts when I visit family in Hawaii.

3. Do do multiple activities like scuba dive without being over the weight limit.... **** I can't wait to not have to LOOK UP THE WEIGHT LIMITS ON EVERYTHING

4. Can't wait to buy my first paid of 7 jeans

5. Can't wait to not be the reason my friends, family and fiancé always walk slower or take the "shorter" but less scenic route home because they know I can't walk that far.

6. I can't wait to not hurt when I wake up or stand for long periods at a time.

7. I can't wait to have more energy to go on nightly walks by the beach with my dog.

A. I can't wait until I'm not embarrassed to go

To the beach or pool in general.

Just to name a few:)

I can't wait to:

Not worry if I can fit in a booth.

Go hiking with my husband without feeling like I will have a heart attack before we reach the top.

Be able to play with my grandkids on the floor and be able to get up easily.

To loss enough weight that I don't feel like my family is embarrassed to be seen with me.

Not sneeze and pee at the same time and to stop wearing pads everyday because of it.

Fly for the first time.

Be healthy and enjoy life with my family!
