Outside of being healthy, what are you looking forward to most...

[pajara2 16]

_{Not buying clothes that always have flowers on them or are gathered across the bust line.}

_{Having my heart shaped face back.}

_{Being able to wipe without contorting my body or breaking the toilet seat.<--------- Ummmmm Yeah....THAT!}

_Flying

_{Sitting in a chair without wondering if I will end up on the floor.}

_{Thinking I will fit through somewhere only to knock everything over or getting stuck.}

_{Getting on a crowded elevator without someone getting off.}

_{To get on the floor with my grandchildren and not having to crawl to a piece of furniture and take 5 minutes to get up.}

Hiking; walking the dogs without my back being on fire in 5 minutes and my legs going numb; going back to Universal and enjoying myself; learning to scuba dive; fitting back into the way cool burgundy, paisley design, smoking jacket I've held on to for over twenty years!

I busted out laughing when I read about the flowers...it's true why do they think fat chic needs flower????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Oh so many things...

- being able to get the attention of guys I think are cute without feeling self conscious they'll be weirded out by my weight.

- Not having to contort myself in order to get a good picture where I don't look as big.

- Being able to shop in all those teens and twenty-something clothing shops like American Eagle without troubles.

- Having my thighs not touch!!!

- Not having to eat huge portions of food in order to just simply feel full because my stomach is stretched.

- Not -despising- exercise because my body is so out of shape.

- WATERSKIING! - I tried it once but I was too out of shape to pull myself up. So I want to be able to do it!

- Being able to show my dog without feeling awkward and uncomfortable on my knees when stacking her into a show position. (Or anything ELSE I have to do kneeling).

And so many many more..

Oh you'll have TONS of fun! I've been ziplining a few times at camp. It wasn't as extravagant as the ones you find on vacation but.. Wow. It's SUCH fun!

LMAO - Don't you wish you could really laugh your ass off!

Me too! Me Too!

Not worrying about breaking things when I sit on them... shopping... seeing collar bones!

Amusement parks, hiking, owning more than one pair of jeans, cute shoes, jewelry that fits!

Shopping in regular stores is certainly at the top of the list. I also really don't like looking at my face anymore because all I see is "fat face". Waaaaay too many chins. I am a nurse and I feel like coworkers, doctors and patients are judging me all of the time. We all deal with our demons in different ways. I just want to feel better. Inside and out.

How about just standing up without bringing the toilet seat with you because in the few short moments you sat on it, it tried to become a part of you!

My sister is getting married in May and my surgery is September 10th. She is so excited about me having the surgery and going shopping with me for something for her wedding.

Also, when we go to my family's beach house there are a lot of steps going down the cliff to the beach and the last time I went down I almost didn't make it back up. I have a 13 year old daughter who always wants me to go with her but I make excuses. So I am seriously excited about being able to enjoy the beach with her again.
