What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?

  • Popular Post

I'm not going to miss bumping into walls, worrying about fitting into chairs - especially airplane seats, having to shop at plus size stores and so much more! What about you?

What are you going to try as you get smaller? I want to try rock wall climbing!

Im not going to miss buying boots that are wide calf also buying pants that are big on me bcos I have big thighs but small waist finding that prefect dress but its just not in your size everyone saying oh you have a pretty face but what about the rest of me wanting to put on a bikini but just dont have the courage people with their rude remarks they say to others but not to your face

I cannot wait...

to not be hungry 24/7

to fit in a towel after a bath. I have to use beach towels, and they barely wrap around me all the way.

to not have back pain and knee pain... i am 26 and i used to not have this.

to shop at a normal store. I love fashion.... I want to be able to shop everywhere, not just one place.

to fit in all my shoes again. My feet have beccome so fat that i wear a whole size bigger. plus a W shoe.

There are so many more things, i could go on and on.

As I am about to get ready for work, another thing I will not miss is having to wear so many things under my scrubs. Everyday I have to wear a girdle and spanx underneath my uniform because scrubs are so light of a material, every lump and bump shows. It's bad enough I am hot already, but with the added materials and the fact that I try to keep a sweater on to hide my arms, it's just too much. I can't wait to be able to wear just a bra and panty with my clothes and not all these extra items.

yay for me no more 5x scrubs.

Yeah its horrible and such a pain to hide

I do not and will not miss my shelf that the top of my bum had. This is something that my hubby loved to rub and grab but I absolutely hated it. I am glad its gone. It's like someone shaved it off.

I will not miss the pain from the weight affecting my arthritis. I will not miss the increased pain from fibromyalgia. I will not miss feeling fat when I make love to my husband. I will not miss feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I will not miss fear of running into someone I know. I will not miss feeling like I'll always be fat.

I Will not miss feeling all of my extra layers jiggling and bouncing as I exercise!

Everybody has established a lot of things that I will not miss.

•My car is low so I will not miss sliding out like snake to get out.

•The pain I endure going food shopping cause my knees are shot.

•Will not missed carrying the laundry to the basement like a 90 year old!

This can go on but I do miss my baths. Bending of knees and trying to get out had made impossible !!

I won't miss:

lying about my weight on my driver's license, carpooling in a two-door vehicle and stressing whether I'm going to get stuck getting into and out of the back seat, being on an elevator full of people and hoping that it doesn't lurch because I know they'll automatically think its because of me, fearing fire drills at work because it requires walking down four flights of stairs and then walking another two blocks to the meeting place, checking the window before I leave work everyday to see if the path is clear to the parking garage so no one will see my face turning red and my gasps for breath.

What I want to do:

Take a spinning class, get down on my hands and knees without worrying whether I can get up again, get up to go to the bathroom in a crowded movie theater without worrying that my butt is hitting everyone in the face as I squeeze by, feel confident that I have a better average chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse because I can actually run now! :-)

Always having tons of clothes (because they span 6 sizes), as my weight has been more volatile than the emerging markets index...and nothing to wear, because now my "fat" clothes are getting too tight!

Me three! No more 4x scrubs to wear for work!

the new scrub company we have does not even carry a 4x so it was either a tight 3x or a loose 5x. So guess which one I wore. Soon I'll have to fight over he larges and x-larges like every one else.
