Halloween 2009



Recommended Posts

Have you thought about our Bandiversary? I know it is a year away. I know we will have short term goals and long term goals, but what about next Halloween?

I think I'm going to go as a nurse (I am a nurse) but with the white dress, cap, and heels. I would love to be able to dress up like that for Halloween AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT!!!!

No matter how I dress I plan to go as a much happier, more comfortable person!!!! :girl_hug:

I agree! I don't have my date set in stone yet, but know that it will be in October. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so it makes me VERY happy that I will have my new b-day in the same month as Halloween! I can't wait until next halloween when I don't have to wear some ridiculous costume that is too tight and NEVER looks like it does on me as it does on the size 10 "plus size" model wearing it on the display. I want to go as something naughty, like a dominatrix or something like that that will excite the DH. :girl_hug:

I bought the fabric and all the accessories to make an gown like one of Arwen's in Lord of the Rings last year, but did not follow through because I couldnt stand the idea of being so big in that gown. I cant wait to be able to make it next year when I look good in it!

Oh, those are great ideas! I love dressing up anytime, theme parties are too much fun! I think I want to be a biker chick, I already have the motorcycle, but I hope to look better riding it next year. I won't be too risque`, I AM old enough to be a grandma, but I will have more fun and dance more at the party! :thumbup:

Those are some cool ideas too!! Like you ladies, I am just excited to be able to dress up next year and not feel so self-consious. I am sure this surgery will not "fix" how I feel about myself, but it wil cetainly help... :teeth_smile:

HALLOWEEN 2009, HERE WE COME!!

Mamacj - That's what I want to go as.. a (thinner) Biker Chick... I hope to have new leathers at halloween next year. We were at Street Vibrations in Reno today looking at leathers and my husband said I'm going to end up with a set for every day of the week!

Maybe one of those leather halter tops too! :biggrin:

Absolutely Vidahlia! I hope your surgery went well, I am 2 days post op and feeling good, just a bit sore. I can't wait to see the numbers drop!! This halloween will probably be a floor length gown from an earlier century, but next year, LOOK OUT, biker leather and my Harley boots!! :thumbup:

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
