I Can't Wait Till....

[tinkycheeks 31]

I cant wait to...

Not be the fattest parent at all the school and sporting events.

Be able to buy clothes because I like them, not because they fit.

Not feel like others are staring at me yet at the same time feel invisible.

Be able to use the small blood pressure cuff.

Go running.

Go hiking.

Be a part of family photos and not be behind the camera.

Run & Play with grandbabies til I wear them out!!

To not having daily pain and discomfort!!

To finally be healthy and vibrant again!!

I want my outside and inside to match. I am an outgoing, happy go lucky person and I want my confidence back. I want my hell raiser back, I want me back. I don't know who this fat, anxiety ridden woman is but I don't like her. I want to be able to go do stuff without having to pre-plan everything and make sure its fat girl friendly.

Oh and I want to fit in a seat belt in my mother in laws car because her stupid Buick seems to think that if you're bigger than roughly a size 20, then you should stay home or take your chances being thrown around in an accident.

I've read this thread a lot so here. Is my wish list:

- sit on the floor with my daughter and play instead of her saying' date=' daddy and I will play on the floor you sit on the bed mommy.

- ride on a roller coaster with my daughter. 2 amusement parks and never a ride with her.

- wear jeans (haven't worn jeans in almost 3 years)

- care about myself and how I look. I always wear sweats and slippers bc I'm so fat I just don't care.

- run a mile

- do a marathon

- teach my daughter proper eatin habits.

- shop in a normal store!!

- share clothes with someone, anyone!

Not to mention everything everyone else said too!![/quote']

Ok. Thought I would see what I have accomplished so far. I am 6.5 weeks post op. down 30lbs since surgery (more now) 67lbs total since I started process in October.

I now sit on the floor and play and lie on the floor and color. I still choose the couch or bed... Because my floor is tile. But on carpet I choose the floor because I can!!

No amusement park rides yet, but we went to the zoo and I walked! I didn't get or need a wheel chair.

I own jeans now!!!

And I share clothes with other ppl in my support group. I can share some of my husbands shirts!!!

No mile run, but I walk 3 miles and run for a minute or 2!

Marathon, I'm looking into my first 5k in a month or so.

Teaching proper eating, not yet. I seem to e feedin her more crap since I barely eat or cook. Working on it!

I can shop at Walmart and target now. Which to me is a normal store!! I also buy clothes at goodwil now which I never could before.

As for caring how I look. I am realizing its a hard process. I still choose huge baggy clothes and slippers over anything else. But I like to wear a bra now bc it doesn't hurt. And I think about what I choose to wear an I actually can wear nice clothes when I want too!

I have accomplished a lot on this list. Makes me feel awesome.
