My (not so) Secret Skinny Dream



Recommended Posts

I'll go out on the boat with my fiance and not feel like everyone's thinking "why is he marrying her?"

I'll feel beautiful in my wedding dress & not like a monster next to my bridesmaids.

My new father-in-law will stop making vague comments about our bad eating habits (wtf is THAT about anyways...I mean what an ass).

I'll do all the cool stuff that everyone else said...twice!

I'll make girls jealous...of my body not my fiance. :)

I'll wear a teany bikini on my honeymoon... :)

I'll wear boots...any pair that will fit over my calves...

That's it for now!

After reading Bandster Brad's "One Year Anniversary" thread, I remembered this thread and thought it would be fun to revive it. So.. here it is.

Oooo, need to think about this one...

I'll stand in the middle of the shopping centre and think about which clothes store I want to go in first - rather than heading to the only one I can buy from now.

I'll wear more make up, not because I want people to look at me but because I dont mind if they do.

I'll get hubby to take me round Europe and we can walk places together (this is his dream too:) )

I'll buy spa fixings for my bath that I'll then be able to sit in.

I'll have a huge party and be centre of attention (you guys all invited).

I'll buy some tailored clothes instead of loosest, baggest available.

I'll get hubby to carry me to bed!

I'll definitely go for one horse ride in my life

And, I'll just enjoy being able to do simple things without having to think if I am able to do them first.

Ok here it goes....

1. I will stop hearing family members asking if I'm still losing...or why am I not losing?

2. I wont feel like people are looking at me when I am out in public with my boyfriend and wonder why he's dating a fat chick.

3. I will never step foot into Lane Bryant or ask another sales lady at a department store where the "Womens or Plus Size" department is.(stolen)

4. I Will go into The Gap, American Eagle, Express, Limited, banana Republic without feeling like everyone is looking at me like "what is SHE doing in here?".(stolen)

5. Have my dream wedding and feel beautiful in my dream wedding dress.

6. Have healthy pregnancies someday then be the best mom I possibly can be.

7. Be a "hot" mom and "sexy" wife-someday

8. Show my sister how great being healthy is and hope she wants to be like her little sister.

9. Go into the mall and not have to tell my boyfriend I don't fit into their clothes when he asks if I want to go into a certain "hip" store.

10. Be happy

I will:

1. Go whitewater rafting. I've always wanted to do this but don't want to sink the raft.

2. Go to Disneyworld (my favorite place) and not worry if I'm going to fit in the seats on my favorite rides and wonder how on earth I'm going to get through their turnstiles without getting stuck and embarrassing myself.

3. Not worry about making a drs. appointment because I know they will weigh me.

4. Go horseback riding.

5. Go back to Hawaii and sit on the beach in my bathing suit and not wear a cover up.

6. Buy a bicycle and actually ride it.

7. Not worry about sitting next to someone who gives you the "look" (especially on a bus or plane) screw them!

8. Fit in a booth at a restaurant comfortably and order whatever I want without other diners staring at you.

9. Travel more with someone or without them. I want to see the world!

10. Breath normally when I walk up even the smallest incline. No more huffing and puffing!!!!!!!!!!

My no so secret skinny life

I wont be the “ safe Girl” when I go out with my hot girlfriends.

I stop wondering if people are looking at me and thinking she really should not be eating that.

I wont wear a swim suit with a skirt attached ie “ My dancing hippo suit”

Sunbathe topless in Mexico.

Wear a corset and mini skirt with confidence that I’m not “rolling” out of

it.

Take a yoga class without leaving in tears because I can’t reach my toes because my belly is in the way.

Stop having back pain

Take public speaking classes (a life long dream)

Take a salsa dancing class

Go to more Broadway plays because its more comfortable to sit in those tiny seats.

Buy cute matching bras and underwear that doesn’t look like it is a cover for you spare tire.

Stop think wow that’s a cute outfit I wonder if it comes in a 3X ?

( There’s a reason it doesn’t I’m told)

Dance the night away with my friends without getting winded halfway through the first song.

I remember this thread from when it was originally posted. I didn't post because I really couldn't think of any good secret skinny dreams. But since I've lost some weight and some sizes, I've realized that I really wasn't able to do some things that have become important to me.

1-I want to be able to shop in a "normal" sized store and buy clothes that not only fit me but look darn good. It doesn't have to be anything special like Gap or banana Republic or Old Navy. I just don't want to ever have to look at the big "W" behind my clothes again. Right now, I'm on the edge. So it's confusing to go to stores. Some don't carry 18. The Women's section doesn't always have 16W. Frustrating.

2-I want to wear sexy, matching undies and bras without my rolls and lumps hanging out. I don't have to get them anyplace special and I don't need anyone to see them. I know they're there and that's all I need to boost my confidance.

3-I do want people to notice me, not for how fat I am but for who I am and how I hold myself. I can learn to have the confidance to look them straight in the eye and smile.

4-I want to be able to walk in something other than flats and tennis shoes. I don't need 4 inch heels, just something a little feminine.

5-Once I get to goal, and I know I will someday.....I will get on my knees and thank God for sending me down this path and giving me this wonderful tool that has changed my life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
