After my surgery I'm looking forward to...............

[Chuck Clasik 141]

Going into a store without a big and tall section and finding something that will fit!!

Not Worrying, dammit is this chair gone hold out.

I travel for business - a lot. I secretly carry my seatbelt extender..and the awkwardness of trying to get settled, in the seat and it all hooked up while a hundred walk by seeing all of my struggles trying to get situated. By the time I do, I'm so hot, tired and just OVER it.

I actually had a steward(ess) tell me to please not try to steal the seatbelt extender. It was mine. I bought it on Amazon. : ( But that was just HUMILIATING.

I want to be able to travel without someone looking at me like I'm a monster when I try to sit next to them on the plane.

That (above) and being able to sit without an extra 50lbs sitting on the top of my thighs from my belly.

Those are the things I can't wait for after surgery.

I'm with you@! I get the chair thing. I actually broke a tiny one in a conference room in my office. THAT...*sigh*...and I can't wait to buy clothes in a normal store and just not be sad that they don't carry my size.

Right? I haven't been able to do that since I was 12. : ) I'm looking forward to that as well!!!

Oh this!! And also being able to get the tray down so that it sits flat, not resting on my belly at an incline!

Sigh. I forgot all the times I tiredly chosen to stand because the chairs were sketchy. I've had chairs collapse and legs snap off while I was in them , at events.

But

This girl did yoga so I was able to sustain chair pose long after the chair. never again. I hope nothing but the best for y'all!!!

Safe Journey 🎈

Not having a chair stuck to my ass when I try to get out of it cause it was too small with high arms! 🤦🏽‍♂️. I got a lot of these!!

My favorite Chinese resturant has bench seating and booths, went to sit and slide, and the doggone bench started rocking back and forth. Thought a PA went off, Fat Girl Alert, B-I-G Woman on board. Dreaming of being less obtrusive, just being Less Special when I just came for my HotSpur Soup.< /p>

And it is Hot Sour Soup, never had Spurs present, that would be in a Cowboy Bar!

I get lots of those as well. And those plastic lawn chairs. I just stand up when visiting ppl and family with those. : \

Yes, and feeling the pain of sitting in those too small chairs. I made the mistake, too, of sitting in the emergency exit on the plane. THOSE seats do NOT have any give. The sides are made that way for structure. I was in serious pain for a 4 hour flight.

Yes! I actually bought a package for myself for Christmas this year that expires in 1 year. I know I won't be perfect, but it's my motivation to have them done around this time next year!

I've never owned a dress as an adult or even teenager and I'm 38. Haven't been swimming and enjoyed it since I was a kid. Every day of my life I've been self-conscious in some form or fashion about my fat. I can't wait for the day when that's no longer an issue. And when I can feel pretty for once and believe it myself.
