So this week my husband got great tickets to the Chicago Cubs and sox tickets. Tonight is 4 rows behind home plate! Well my girls want to go, and since I am so fat and hate myself I am not going. My girls have a better chance of being on the jumbotran or on tv with me not there. I want to be cute and happy so next summer we can all go together. Just not fair to my kids, who want me to go, for me to stay home because of my own insecurities. I want to start enjoying these fun things in life

Oh gosh, I hear you......mine was always "would I fit?"........you should go with your family and have fun, live in the moment.....your girls would rather you were there with them.........hold your head up because you're a great mom/wife, and enjoy the game! Truly there's no time like the present....don't wait until next year to enjoy your family at a Cubs game.....our kids grow up and change so quickly, you don't want to miss out....

At my heaviest I couldnt do a lot of things. It really does suck. I missed out on a lot of thing do to my weight.

I couldnt fit in booth seating, roller coasters, airplane seating with out a extra belt and taking up room in another seat, etc. I would stay home and do nothing. That lead to eating more and gaining more.

You can do it. I am 8 months out now and loving it. My sides dont rub the arms of chairs any more and I can fit into everything listed above.

Hi Fit2btied. First!! Your going with your family and they enjoy your company . Go to the game and enjoy yourself. Many of us have been there, the stares, insecure about fitting in the chairs, having to ask for a seat belt extender on the plane. My first YEAH.. was the day I flew and didn't have to ask for a seat belt extender. Yes.. your headed on a journey with a good ending. But its not a magic bullet.. this journey is in your head as well. You must be confident in yourself, and say HECK!! to the world.. Love yourself, your worth it. Those lessons don't come with the surgery, so start now. Go to the game and enjoy your family. Are you scheduled for surgery?

Surgery is Oct 14th! I did not go to the game but the kids had so much fun with their dad. My 12 year old caught a ball, 9 year of caught a tee shirt, and the 3 of them got their FIRST game certificates. Although it wasn't my 15 year olds first game. Lol

They had fun, and that's what makes me happy. I am always there for their football, baseball and basketball games. I am always with my girls so missing this game isn't that big a deal. Rest assured I will be going to everything when I have the confidence with my weight loss.

Thanks everyone!
