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!

I am ready for people to QUIT ASKING ME WHEN MY BABY IS DUE! It makes me so angry although I have gotten better at saying Actually hes 2 1/2 and I am just fat! Dont ask questions your not ready to hear the answers to! \

Good one.... I used to say I just love eating don't you?? Usually skinny people that look sick are the one who ask the dumb questions.

We go to the pool alot and when I sit my wet butt on the concrete it makes a huge mark :(

Also when hanging our shirts and shorts over a chair mine are twice the size of everyone else's.

So you have a juicy big butt nothing wrong with that.

I was just thinking the same thing!!

Also, I'd like to be able to just Jump out of the pool instead of waddling out like a sea lion or having to always swim to the stairs (not the metal ones cause I'm terrified my fat ass will rip them of trying to tug my big butt out!!)

I can't wait until I don't have to wear all this "hardware"(girdles) just to look 10 lbs lighter..lol. Or the day when I get up out of a chair and there is a butt and thigh line from me sweating it up. It's funny, guys tell me that I have a sexy walk, but it's actually me wobbling from side to side trying to distribute my weight...lol.

my Dr. is Dr. Titus Duncan and my surgery date is July 11.

When is yours?

I've got one...no longer having a built in flotation device! Lol! (The inner tube tire around where a waistline should be)

Hello people from Atlanta!!!

I went to Dr. Johnson - Atlanta Baracterics. He was the best doctor - lots of people thinks he's cute which is a plus and never lost a patient! I'm in Gwinnett County. What about you guys???

No more wearing underwear with elastic that goes up to my boobs just to give me a straight line down my stomach without rolls

for me: run without feeling/hearing the bottom half of my belly lap against my thighs. SO embarrassing! plus being able to run for more than 30 seconds without falling over dead would be nice too
