What Are You Going To Do After You Hit The Reset Button?!



Recommended Posts

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. I am most looking forward to:

Becoming a biological mom

Being able to shop at a regular store

Being able to salsa dance for hours like I used to

Going up and down the stairs without stopping at each step because my knees hurt.

Being able to make love to my husband in any position without having to stop because my legs hurt.

Being able to get on the floor to play with my daughter.

Just being comfortable in my own skin.

my life has changed a lot since gaining weight

8/9 years ago i maintained a 6 pretty easily but my wardrobe was all very professional (banker) so one thing i am going to do is buy an entire wardrobe for my new life through a professional stylist to hone in on who i am now.

i have a huge collection of 30s bias cut gowns. id like to wear them again

but in general i dont see my life changing much. maybe i wont dred pics so much :) being in community relations i cant avoid them but i never like them!

I want to buy a GOOD professional wardrobe. I work in Insurance and I have to dress in business attire. I always feel like I look funny in my clothes because I am so heavy and my body is so unproportioned.

I want to be able to follow the fashion advice I give to all the normal size friends.

I no longer want to be the fat friend.

I want to actually play softball at my company’s annual softball outing next fall and not just be a spectator

I want to go to Six Flags and no be nervous about rides. I haven't had a problem yet but I always get nervous.

I want to be a good example to my son. I feel like I encourage him to eat healthy and I want to be a healthy example for him to follow. Children are cruel and I never want my son to hear someone say his mom is fat.

I want to really live up to the Trophy Wife that my husband already feels that I am.

I want to no longer always be "trying to lose weight"

I want to walk into a store and shop off a clearance rack if I want to!

I want to be fit. As in, a lean, mean, fighting machine. I take care of my mom who is terminally ill - i want to be strong enough to provide care for her as her condition requires it. I'm working on it. I saw my bicep a few days ago for the first time in years.

I want to get on Facebook - I have avoided it because I was too embarrassed to post an updated photo.

I want to enjoy wearing more fashionable clothes.

There are important people in my life who I have not seen for close to a decade due to embarrassment about my weight. I want to reconnect with them.

And I want to create a future for myself - I am creating a future for myself. Six months ago it seemed pretty bleak. Now, I know that every day brings more opportunity for health, fitness, and long term happiness.

•go skydiving

•go to great adventures amusement park

•run in a race

I want to have a family portrait made... I have a wonderful husband and 3 great kids and we do not have any family pics because I have always hidden behind the camera!

I want to buy expensive jeans that look great on me

I want to buy a season pass with the rest of my family for summers at the Water park

I want to go to more School functions without worrying if my kids are embarrassed

I want to jump on the trampoline with my kids

I want to enjoy my wonderful life and live long and healthy....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
