My surgery is day after tomorrow. I'm not nervous about it but I am a little worried I may have forgotten to do something to prepare for it. So to distract myself I am playing a little game called 'Things I will not miss'.

These are only SOME of the things I will not miss:

- clueless people saying 'Congratulations! When are you due?' (Really people?! I am 53 years old!)

- buying clothes whose only redeeming quality is that they fit.

- Rashes from sweating

- back and knee pain

- snoring (I have a feeling my hubby won't miss this one either)

- pretending to wear a seatbelt that doesn't... quite... reach.

- watching from the sidelines while every one else has fun.

Oh and good luck.... I just got approved today so hopefully I will get a date soon....

Ok...so I was reading all of this at work and busted out laughing because it is all so true! Everyone thinks I am nuts now. You all are so great and such motivation.

I dont know--- my extra weight gave me a lot of momentum, shot out of the water slide like a cannonball! My mom snorted and laughed so hard...

And I am extra bouyant when i snorkel, but gonna need a big paddle board to float on when the seal blubber goes!

OMG! Sounds like me! And I so have a fear of the fire department having to rescue me too...

I am laughing so hard at work my coworkers are thinking I've lost my mind! (well, they know i am a nut anyway!)

What about chairs not being able to fit or getting out of the chair.

I will not miss not being able to tie my shoes.....

I will not miss stinky shoes. I would not wear socks because I didn't want my hubby to see me struggle to put them on. I can put on socks now no problem!

Lou I can't wait to bend over and not struggle ijs

I know. I would have my friend put my sucks on for me and tie my walking shoes when we were gonna work out while my hubby was at work. I'm glad that is over.

I will not miss...

- being held back from doing so many physical things because my weight limits my energy and too much pain

- being constantly underestimated because of the way I look

- buying clothes from catalogs

- my chest and my neck fat meeting (HATE IT)

- shirts constantly riding up my belly

- feeling so darn physically awkward all the time

- looking older than I am

And pretty much everything everyone else has already said! Good riddance!

Not being able to fit in a booth at a restaurant.

• .
  
• Not doing the 5k runs with my office.
  

I was actually invited by a coworker to participate in the Susan G. Komen race with her and some other co-workers....and I AM GOING TO DO IT! I cannot tell you how excited I am!! First to have been asked....and second to actually be able to participate!!!! So happy!!

I know what you mean!! My shirts used to be too short all the time!! And I wanted them long enough to cover my big belly so people wouldnt stare at it. And I cant say enough how wonderful the added energy is! LOVE IT!

Wedgies!

Well u know what I noticed?!? I am opening the bathroom door in public bathrooms and not try to do some weird dance squeezing in and trying not to brush all up on the toilet trying to get into the stall cause the area inside the stall is too small. I hate public toilets anyways and totally get grossed out. Feel so much better when I'm able to just open the door and walk in.

I don't miss my boobs ending up under my neck when I lay down. And my snoring has stopped. The only snoring my husband hears now is from the dog! :-)

I hope to NEVER again hear the phrase 'you have such a pretty face' ugh!!!!
