What are you looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

Be healthier.

Wear normal clothes... Not "toe sacks ". as my husband says. I don't even know what that is other than oversized tops that don't cling.

Just to be comfortable being me.

I want to like me!

Well I'm blessed not to have any pain, I can cross my legs, so forth and so on.

I was denied however 2 rides at cedar point due to the lap belt not fitting. Quite embarrassing especially in front of my kids.

I dress well but... I'm looking forward to not having to shop in the plus size section.

Wearing the size 8 shoe that I was accustomed to before the weight gain put me into a 10.

The 20 year class reunion cruise I'm booked for in May 2017. I'm 36. Most people who don't know me think I'm late 20's early 30s. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I'm hoping to de-AGE by at least 10 years.

Not feeling so insecure in pictures. I will do a photo shoot once I reach goal weight.

I could go on and on but those are a few on the top of my list.

I'm looking forward to being able to buckle my seat belt in my car.

Being a better mom to my son.

Going to the movies with my spouse and being comfortable.

Buying pretty clothes.

I want to buy a corset without having to spend the extra $100 to have is sized up.

To go shopping for my wedding dress without having to settle.

Joining an adult softball team.

Horse back riding.

And soooo much more.

I look forward to alleviating my low back pain! Also, I want to feel comfortable going out in public with my friends and not feel like outsiders see me as the "fat girl" who hangs out with the pretty girls.

I'm looking forward to being able to walk into just about any store and know they have something for me. As opposed to asking if they have a plus size section or going to specialty stores.

Also, I'm looking forward to one day having another baby and during my pregnancy people not asking if I'm carrying twins or assuming I'm further along then I am. By the time I was 5-6 months pregnant with my son, people would ask me when I was due and when I would say in 3 months, they would ask me if I was sure (yes I'm pretty sure of my due date) or just look totally shocked.

Being able to live an active lifestyle and do hobbies people my age enjoy like white Water rafting or Water skiing!

Being able to show my dog in conformation classes without feeling like it's a major cardio workout

Being able to shop in stores for young adults like Am Eagle and having the clothes actually FIT!

Being able to look at an outfit I think is cute and know there'll be a size on the rack that will fit me instead of just having to settle for something that's my size even if I don't like it.

Losing weight in my arms so they fit normal sleeves again

Being able to go through the gates we have up for the dog for when she's wet from the lake without having to turn sideways/ shift my hips.

Being able to stand and walk a distance without having pain and out of breath-ness

Being able to say I want a thin and healthy significant other in my life without feeling like a hypocrite (and being able to attract one because I'm also thin and fit!)

Being able to have pictures taken of me that I won't be embarrassed of for the first time since I was in grade school.

Being able to change my attitude and mind about a lot of foods (it's already happening. Tried brown rice and kale the other day and it was delish. I never liked either before)

Having enough energy to be able to come home from work and cook real meals and take care of a home and pursue hobbies instead of just having to flop on the couch.

To not be tired out by the smallest physical efforts.

To once again not being afraid of anything with 4 legs, I'm not talking about animals, I'm taking about these plastic reminders of my weight.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
