What Do You Want To Do When You Are Healthier?



Recommended Posts

I want to be able to go to amusement parks also. One of my worst memories is at 17 at Cedar Point not being able to ride one of the rides and being forced to do a seat trial and not fitting in front of all my friends.

On a happier note, I'm looking forward to doing better in my nursing clinicals just by having more freedom of movement. Plus, I have to agree that weight really has seemed to have an impact on jobs.

I honestly could go on and on about all the things I am looking forward to by being healthier.

I had my OBGYN annual this last week and I am always mortified!....I can't wait to be thin and stop dreading that exam!

Oh and another one, I can't wait to be attractive again to men! I met the most handsome man today (with an Australian accent - knees wobbling)...and all I can think is that I hope I run across you again when I'm thin!!!! Ha-ha! Can't wait to start dating again, going out, dancing, wearing those sexy high heels, FEELING sexy again... list goes on and on!

Thats why I started my Fat Bucket List....I want to be able to check off items as they are accomplished. Little things not directly related to the scale. :) I just keep adding to it on my blog.

The high heels and dancing sounds great but I've always had a "heavy walk" even when I was a size 3 and I'm not sure how to change that. I would love to walk "lighter". And if I'm angry...oh, hell, watch out! :)

These are all great and I have laughed out loud a few times-- here are mine--

Go shopping with my girlfriends, not make up excuses when they ask because I don't want them running to grab the next size up :-/

Take the burlesque classes with a friend who is also a happily long time married friend-- she is fit I am not-- we both want spicier bedroom times with hubby! She keeps sending me info, I keep pushing it into junk mail...

*blush* be lifted against the wall for a bit of fun with hubby, it's been years!!

Be carried to bed ;)

Being in Australia, I miss lane Bryant, particularly the low rise cotton panties-- try finding quality plus size clothes here, pft!-- so here's to after 8 years-- buying Australian knickers cause I can!!

Going to the gym and NOT having everyone remember me! Currently I'm the fat American that's here everyday... Don't all skinny people look the same? I certainly don't remember them! Bahaha

Do the 1000 steps in rowville cause I like the burn!! I do, but currently I like to breathe more!!

PP that does yoga-- I do balance which is a cross yoga, Pilates, balance class set to music. I'm so strong and flexible-- but I can't wait to not modify around my belly! And for my warrior poses to look less sumo like!

Another PP-- I married my crush Australian accent and 12 years since we met and I still get shivers when he whispers into my neck! Can't wait til I feel that real sexy lady come out to play! Btw-- he married his American crush-- lucky dog!

Man I love an Aussie accent. After 25 years I've lost my island accent with brittish slang (due to brittish step father) and now sound like a weird-redneck. lol

Keep it up (so to speak) for all of us who whish we had the Aussie whispers :)

For those of us in the gay community, I just don't want to be considered a "bear" anymore. "Bears" are guys who are large and hairy.

Aww, thanks! You're sweet :) I don't know what I'd be after I lose all the weight. I used to be a gym rat ("used to" being one of the major reasons I gained so much weight). But I'm so burnt out on bodybuilding.

Ballroom dancing again. Not dreading the family picture moments. Hiking. Relaxing in child's pose.

I was just thinking about posting a question like this this morning. Anyway - I'm excited about running/jogging again. Right now at my weight it's too much on my ankles.

I'd also like to try a yoga class thin - where my stomach doesn't constantly get in my way - and ofcourse, enjoying buying new clothes that I look good in!!!

Looking forward to not wearing shorts under all my skirts and dresses, because my thighs rub so much, i get 2nd degree burns from the friction.

OMG - I thought I was the only one who did that!!! :wub: Although I gave up wearing skirts & dresses years ago. I'd love to wear them to work again!!! :D

      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.
