cross my legs correctly

wear a proper sized bra that isnt making room for side/back fat

wear a bathingsuit that doesnt have shorts sewn in

buy clothes in the regular section-not the plus size

wear a cute skirt not a boxy one trying to hide my big calves

wear a ring that used to fit but doesnt now that my fingers are pudgy

get a haircut I WANT not that frames my face properly to hide the fat face

You started at 214 and your already down 15 pounds, good for you!!

How could you be a size 20 I am 216 and I am a size 18!!

I just had my hair cut short last week, I have a new do and it is so stylish, looks great with my thin face and my new body, and it is so easy to keep up.

Picture Please!!!

now don't go fessing up to a new do without posting the pic! Puleeez!

I would love to see your new style!!!

yeah Ive wondered the same thing on sizes-Im 5'3 and at 214 I wore a 20/22 but I see others with basicly same stats wearing 18-I wished-if I wore an 18 id look squished in and itd define my rolls-lol.I am also top heavy-even before all my weight gain my chest is a 42dd now its a 46dd-ugh-but my doctor will finally sign off to have reduction once I lose the weight as its a health issue with my back and such.

Cute haircut is a must too once you lose the weight, new look requires a new do.., I just had my hair cut short last week, I have a new do and it is so stylish, looks great with my thin face and my new body, and it is so easy to keep up.

O.K. Missy, we need a new picture of that cute new hair cut!

I COMPLETELY agree with Vinesqueen. Go get that hair doo now, life is way too short to stop living. I know there are certain things that can't be done. but there is sooo much you can do. I tell myself and friends ok anyone who will listen that it's a good thing I am overweight, otherwise all the men would want me!! Not to mention, when I get skinny I will be sooo cute, I won't be able to stand myself. I waited years to get a stylish haircut, and thought I was not small enough to wear cute clothes. Did you know, cute clothes come in "fat chick" sizes too. Now I dress cute and very in style, and have everything except the skinny jeans. That too will come, sooner now that I am banded. I have lost 24 lbs and feel better already. maybe just knowing my time is coming.

For years I worked hard dieting excer. and nothing helped, now I literally have the "power within" My day will come, but until then

"look out skinny girls, here I come and I will be cutier than you"

Get you hair styled now! see how great it fills, it may give you the power you will need to get thru the hard times to come with this whole pre & post op.

PS that old saying that you need a hairstyle to fit your face, some skinny chick made that up, its crap do what you want!

I can't wait to buy clothes and not just shoes. Fat girls love their shoes, don't they? I've got more clogs than Nordstroms carries. It's ridiculous!

I can totally relate to the haircut dilemma. The year I became a nurse 1995, I got a really short cute haircut. My mom told me I looked like a linebacker on a football team. I never did that again!

I almost forgot....

I cant wait to.....have my arms lie flat at my sides.

Its the small things I tell ya-lol.

I can't wait to use a public restroom and not have to use the handicpped one because I do not fit in the regular one...

I cannot wait fro a man to think I'm sexy again...

How about fitting in an airplane seat?

How about not having everyone look at you on an airplane as you go down the aisle with a look that says "please do not have the seat next to me!"?

How about the seat belt fitting without having to ask the airline attendent for a seat belt extention?

How about grocery shopping without everyone looking at your purchases and frowning??? Or worse yet making comments?????

How about no more mean "fat" comments from young children, teenagers, strangers, "so-called" friends, family....EVERYONE?

How about being able to sit in a lawn chair without the fear of breaking it?

(that has actually happened to me, I was mordified!!!)

How about being able to wear high heels without excruciating (sp.) pain?

The list is endless......
