What Are You Going To Do After You Hit The Reset Button?!



Recommended Posts

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. I am most looking forward to:

Becoming a biological mom

Being able to shop at a regular store

Being able to salsa dance for hours like I used to

Going up and down the stairs without stopping at each step because my knees hurt.

Being able to make love to my husband in any position without having to stop because my legs hurt.

Being able to get on the floor to play with my daughter.

Just being comfortable in my own skin.

my life has changed a lot since gaining weight

8/9 years ago i maintained a 6 pretty easily but my wardrobe was all very professional (banker) so one thing i am going to do is buy an entire wardrobe for my new life through a professional stylist to hone in on who i am now.

i have a huge collection of 30s bias cut gowns. id like to wear them again

but in general i dont see my life changing much. maybe i wont dred pics so much :) being in community relations i cant avoid them but i never like them!

I want to buy a GOOD professional wardrobe. I work in Insurance and I have to dress in business attire. I always feel like I look funny in my clothes because I am so heavy and my body is so unproportioned.

I want to be able to follow the fashion advice I give to all the normal size friends.

I no longer want to be the fat friend.

I want to actually play softball at my company’s annual softball outing next fall and not just be a spectator

I want to go to Six Flags and no be nervous about rides. I haven't had a problem yet but I always get nervous.

I want to be a good example to my son. I feel like I encourage him to eat healthy and I want to be a healthy example for him to follow. Children are cruel and I never want my son to hear someone say his mom is fat.

I want to really live up to the Trophy Wife that my husband already feels that I am.

I want to no longer always be "trying to lose weight"

I want to walk into a store and shop off a clearance rack if I want to!

I want to be fit. As in, a lean, mean, fighting machine. I take care of my mom who is terminally ill - i want to be strong enough to provide care for her as her condition requires it. I'm working on it. I saw my bicep a few days ago for the first time in years.

I want to get on Facebook - I have avoided it because I was too embarrassed to post an updated photo.

I want to enjoy wearing more fashionable clothes.

There are important people in my life who I have not seen for close to a decade due to embarrassment about my weight. I want to reconnect with them.

And I want to create a future for myself - I am creating a future for myself. Six months ago it seemed pretty bleak. Now, I know that every day brings more opportunity for health, fitness, and long term happiness.

I want to buy expensive jeans that look great on me

I want to buy a season pass with the rest of my family for summers at the Water park

I want to go to more School functions without worrying if my kids are embarrassed

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
