Thinking about WHY I want to loose weight



Recommended Posts

I came up with a long list. Add your list if you would like.

* To be able to get on a plane and not worry about weather or not I’ll have to get a seatbelt extender

* To not worry if I will fit on a roller coaster (although I’ve always said I didn’t like them to hide the fact I may not fit)

* To be invited to supper with your husbands new friends/new coworkers and not worry about what they will think of his “fat” wife

* To undress in front of my husband and not be embarrassed

* To put on a swimsuit and not look like a whale

* To ride on my husbands motorcycle and feel good about it (not feel like I am too heavy for him to hold up the bike)

* To wear tanktops

* To have cute legs again

* To possibly wear a bikini

* To take sexy pictures to send to my husband while he’s deployed

* To be able to run with my husband

* To play ball with my daughter for more than 5 minutes without getting worn out

* To be able to buy a matching dress for me and my daughter (never seen a plus size dress to match a kids dress)

* To believe my husband when he tells me I’m beautiful

* To be able to be on top without getting worn out when making love to my husband

* To wear sexy bras and panties and look good in them

* To sit on my husbands lap and not worry that I am hurting him

* To have my husband be able to pick me up if he wants

* To be able to wear one of my husbands tshirts to bed and it be too big

* To not be the “fat mom” anymore

* To go on vacation and actually have a good time and not worry about my weight the entire time

* To not have to ask for an extra large wheelchair if I have to be in the hospital again

* To be able to get pregnant easily

* To be the smallest female in MY family

* To go to Disney and not be worn out the first hour I’m there

* To have a good self esteem for once in my life

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
