What to look forward to



Recommended Posts

I am due to have GS at Beaumont Troy in October. I am trying to make a list to keep me motivated of what to look forward to during and after weight loss such as being able to cross my legs. Any ideas?

Being able to shave the backside of my leg.

Having my husband ask if the article of clothing is mine or my daughters.

Not having to eat before going to a function for the fear of being looked at for eating too much.

Being able to participate in activities instead of just watching

Having a lap

I could go on :)

Crossing your legs

Cheekbones

Shopping anywhere

Not worrying if you will fit (booths, rides, etc)

Not getting winded after climbing a flight of stairs...I could go on and on!

So many......you'll stumble from one to the other and wonder how you never thought of "that" one before....

Reduced pain

Ability to do whatever you want

Smiling all the time

Sit in any booth, chair, stool, bar, etc, etc, etc

Airline flights w/o fear of having room or having to use a damn seat belt extender

Walking into the gym and feeling like you belong there

Ability to go to any restaurant and order from any menu......yet have the knowledge to know how to order a healthy meal

Last but certainly not least.......sex damnit sex. Enjoy thyself like never before.....or at least like a teenager.

Oh there's so many! I'd second all of these! Mostly, as a woman, crossing my legs, fitting in a stadium seat (or any seat) better, not getting so winded so easily, and....sex!

Oh and the boot thing. My husband bought me these awesome Michael Kors boots for Christmas last year. Not wide enough. But I never returned them. I'm hoping I can wear them this Christmas.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
