6 days and counting until I get banded on 3/19! I am just so excited, that I am not even scared about the surgery yet. I am so tired of being big, and looking forward to the future of a smaller me.

1. Being confortable in a plane seat.

2. Being able to fit on a rollar coaster w/o shoving the safety harness on top of me.

3. Walking up stairs w/o being out of breath

4. Being able to run, dance and play with my toddler

5. Longs walks w/o knee pain

6. Going to bed at night w/o pain from weight stress during the day

7. My husband being able to pick me up when he hugs me like he used to.

8. Going to the park with my toddler and being able to swing on the swings and go down the slide w/o fear of getting stuck.

9. Not having my mother in law make comments about my weight when I visit twice a year. (At least it is only twice a year, thank God!)

10. Not feeling like the fattest one in my family. (My sister has always been the skinny one and now is commenting that I better not get skinnier than her. Oh well sis, it is going to happen )

11. Seeing old friends and not being embaressed of how much weight I gained since high school.

There is so much more, but this is good for right now.

I love some of those!

1. being able to shop in regular size clothing stores

2. being able to buy and wear the cute new fashions if I like them

3. not being pre-diabetic

4. being able to sit in my tub without touching both sides

5. my thighs not rubbing together

6. being able to wear non stretch jeans

7. living to 90!

8. not having arthritis like the rest of my family

9. not using food as a reward

10. not using food when I am angry

11. being able to look handsome men in the eyes

12. living my life to the fullest.....in stead of occasionaly living it from the sidelines

13. eating only half an appetizer and being full

14. not being the fat friend

15. not being the largest person in the room

There are probably more!

(Glad to see I'm not the only one with a MIL that makes snide comments)

I'm looking forward to:

1. Bending over to tie my shoes, comfortably!

2. Less (hopefully, NO) joint pain

3. A new set of leathers for riding that do not require the entire hide of a cow to produce!

4. NOT averting my eyes any time I walk past a mirror

5. Wearing the actual clothes that I sell at the Harley shop!

6. Less chins!

7. NOT spending $100 a month on medications

8. Going shopping with my daughter and not having to head straight for the "womens" section..

9. More energy

10. Eating to LIVE rather than living to EAT!

Those are great. Hey how about being at or even less than what your driver's license says. Wow I don't think that I ever have been.

YES, YES, YES!!

I can't believe the DLD guy didn't burst out laughing when I told him my imaginery weight.......God forbid they ever put in scales at the DLD!

Oh, I forgot one

to be too thin to buy anything at Lane Bryant

i have one...to be able to do my own pedicure without getting cramps. and to take a bath with my hubby (right now i dont even let him see me naked)

Things I look foward to in my new thin life...

1. Surverying the room and realizing I am not the largest person in the room.

2. Being able to comfortably adjust the volume/canget he channel using those armrest buttons on an airplane.

3. Being able to wear a seat-belt without removing my coat first.

4. Have an easier time wiping my ass!

5. Have more energetic sex and get into some new positions.

6. Excersize without worrying that my heart will explode.

7. Get off some of these medications.

8. be able to SINK into a bathtub and have more of me submerged than on top of the Water.

I'm going to be banded on Monday and I can't wait!
