Things I will not miss...



Recommended Posts

I've really enjoyed reading all of these!

So, lets see, I won't miss not being able to go to the park with my daughter. I won't miss not wanting to embarrass my daughter in school, so I do all her conferences over the phone instead of going to her school. I won't miss having to be pushed in a wheelchair because I'm so fat I can't walk very far distances. I won't miss not being able to fit in a chair at the doctors office. I won't miss having to ask for a table with chairs at a restaurant because I can't fit in a booth, and then being scared i will break the chair. i wont miss not being able to sleep for more than 4 hours at a time because I wake up in excruciating pain in my back and hips. I won't miss insulin. I won't miss people talking about me to other people under their breath. I won't miss all the looks i get from people. I won't miss being trapped in my own fat suit and not being able to do hardly anything. I won't miss the sweating, the rashes or the GERD. I won't miss having to buy my clothes online because nothing from a store fits. I won't miss feeling like I'm too fat and ugly to ever have a man in my life. I won't miss being the fattest girl in my group. I won't miss people looking at me with pity when they see me struggling because of my obesity. I think that's all for now...lol. Whew!! That felt good to let that out! Thank you everyone!

I like your #7 - wearing non-elastic waist jeans. That is one of my favorites! And now my work slacks have those little metal clip-closures. I NEVER trusted those to hold my... GIRTH... before! I just knew they weren't up to the job of decently containing me! I'm really short but for the first time in 28 years I feel petite! Lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
