So I wanted to start a thread where everyone writes 10 things they want to do after they lose weight. Here are mine:

1. Wear knee-high boots

2. Wear shorts (without having to worry about them riding up)

3. Shop for clothing by what I like and not by what will fit me

4. Sit comfortably in an airplane seat

5. Be picked up by my boyfriend

6. Cross my legs without having to reposition my whole body

7. Never have to worry about "weight limits" again

8. Like the way I look in pictures

9. Feel comfortable in my own skin

10. Have cuter feet

Why do you want to wait until you lose weight to get a tattoo? Worried about your skin shrinking in weird ways, or do you want to get like a commemorative tat? Oh, put Victoria's Secret on my list too! I have never owned any of their cute little overpriced bras!

Triplets mom I love #5. I can happily say I am now smaller than some of my biggest haters. And it might be slightly immature . But I love the shocked look they get on there face when they see me.

It's a great feeling!

Honestly??

When I told her I was getting the LB, she got MAD. She told me that my husband would hate it if I lost my curves, and that I'd probably end up getting a divorce, blah blah blah.

She and I used to be friendly.... but she has a BAD habit of complaining about me... to everyone else, AND me. We had to work together for the last year on the PTA, and she screamed out one night at a meeting "if ONE more person talks about how much work SAINT Karen has done so far this year, I'm going to go CRAZY!! I've done WAY more work than her!!!" Who does that????

So... am I a witch for wanting to grin like an idiot when I weigh less than her??? (btw.... that would be 220)

YES I AM!! Watch me fly!!

      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!!
