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

Of course my top priority is being healthier which is why I am electing this surgery. That being said, out of all the extra weight I carry I have to say, hands down, that I cannot wait until my neck is more defined. For some reason that is something that speaks to me every time I look in the mirror. I am so curious what my neck will look like when I lose some weight.

What on you are you most exicted to watch change, or are you looking forward to?

Im looking for to ovulating and getting pregnant

♡ ♡ I WISH THIS FOR YOU! ♡ ♡

Im looking for to ovulating and getting pregnant

Woohoo, that was the final decision making point for me to have the surgery as well. My husband and I have tried for over a year with no success. We are looking forward to trying again in another year and for it be a much healthier pregnancy. I hope you have success as well!

I'm so excited to fit comfortably in seats at amusement parks and not have to go to extended seats or be kicked out of line. I had that happen at Cedar Point and it was mortifying.

I also can't wait to feel better when working out. Because right now it's horrible and not motivating.

1. Being able to buy clothes off the rack

2. Not having to replace my single pair of jeans every couple months because of thigh rub

3. Not avoiding cameras. I'd also like to mention being in pictures without having to be the fat girl prop that makes the average person look fantastic in comparison.

4. Going into a restaurant and not having people stare while I eat.

My youngest daughter asked me the other day why I wear the same shirt so much. Well... Because it fits...sort of....

i want the energy to walk my dog the way she loves i want a defined neck again. i want to be able to take my wedding ring off i want to wear bras that dont cut into my sholders i want to wear womens sport jerseys because right now i can only fit in the mens 2x

I look forward to:

*shopping in a non plus size store.

*sitting in my husband's lap without feeling like I'm crushing him

*and lastly getting pregnant one last time minus all the complications I had before.

Besides getting fit and healthy. I'm most looking forward to wearing a sweater when I want to and not because I'm trying to hide my rolls/belly. All my life I've worn a sweater during every season, even summer because I didn't like the way I look and in my mind wearing a sweater hid all of that. I love photography, I love capturing moments and people in my shoots. So I'm looking forward to not only taking the pictures but actually being in them. Creating a "perfect shot" with me in it. And finally, not being limited on what clothing stores I could walk into. Not having the fitting room lady give me that snarky look that says: "you're not going to fit in that" and when I try it on, of course not having it fit. I'm ready to stop tearing up and mentally comforting/preparing myself as I get dressed to step out of the four walls of shame because she was right. I'm looking forward to finally being myself 100% because I am fun and loving and no one's seen how much I've struggled throughout the years because I only show my happy, cheery side. So I'm ready to be happy again. I'll finally, unconditionally love the person who stares back at me in the mirror every morning. I won't allow myself to hurt that person again. I'm ready to make changes for myself. I'm ready!! ^_^

I'm looking forward to being a happy person again! I want to go to outings and not be ashamed. I want my kids and hubby to be proud of me for losing weight and becoming healthy. I want to wear clothes in my closet that havent been worn in years. I too have problems wiping. I want to have sex with my hubby. I want him to show me off to his friends. I want to be able to wear lingerie from the store instead of special ordering it and then not wear it because I am too ashamed. I'm looking forward to having the energy to get out of bed, come to work, and be more active exercising.
