Things You Don't Have To Worry About When Your Not Fat

A friend of mine who is getting surgery around the same time is me, was cracking me up the other day when we started to think of all the fat person issues that will go away when we have our surgery. Here was our list, please add your own.

No more seat belt extensions on planes

Ability to sit in booths without having to move the table

All the buttons/snaps on our pants are broken

Sweating all the time

Ability to shop wherever we want

No more elastic

No more expensive fat people stores like Lane Bryant.

Ability to bend over and shave my.legs without passing out

Roller coaster rides!

No more buying long shirts or being afraid to lift your arms because your belly-belt will be exposed

- Kaylee Ann

Love everyone's!!

Mine would be::

1. Wrapping a towel ALL THE WAY around me after a shower or dip in the pool!

2. Being able to shop on the clearance rack in target!! (they never have anything cute in my MOO MOO size)

3. Wear a winter coat that doesn't make me look like the kid in "a christmas story"

4. Go to a theme park/ Water park and ride EVERYTHING without fear of not being able to fit or looking funny!

5. Stand next to my, 6" 2' physically fit...without an ounce of fat on him, husband and look like we actually belong together :)

Buy a miracle swim suit and maybe it will actually appear to have performed a small miracle!! Lol!

All good ones!

I would add:

No more fearing to wear high heels!

Wearing heels ,wearing summer clothes thats are summer clothes My electric bill going down since Im the only one who is hot In the house!

No more fat girl grunting when I'm getting up from the couch....

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Not being able to cross my legs when sitting, not getting out of breath walking from kitchen to couch, not sweating like a pig in wintertime, not having heat stroke after sex!!

Ok. Love everybody's list.

Having to wear two bras to exercise

Walk in front of inmates with out hearing constant fat remarks yelled at me (I work in a prison)

Won't miss pulling my shirt out of my back fat

I want to look as awesome on the out side that I know I am on the inside.

I want people to stop questioning why my boyfriend and I are together.

"you have such a pretty face" nuff said

I want to go skinny dipping; not chunk dunkin.

Going outside without dying of heat stroke, (it was 111 here yesterday)

Being on top durring sex;)

When I sit down on a surface or chair and I hit that surface hard enough that it makes a sound I say "ouch" so it seems more like I fell versus my body being so huge that furniture makes noises when I sit... I'll be happy to no longer do that

Omg those bucket lists are fabulous!!! I'm reading them thinking," yup these are all MiLESTONES as the weight came off!" and because of the buckets list we can all relate to, is why the bypass family is compassionate :))

One I would add is:

to be able to skydive. Which I completed Nov 7, 2008. I didn't have to sign the extra waiver cause the extra weight posed a danger, didn't have to pay the extra weight "hazard fee" and I actually was able to fit in any suit they had to offer.

We should make a "bucket list" thread.

Veronica you look fabulous I hope I look that good someday, what surgery did you have and when
