Tanning bed adventure

[Anniesmom12 181]

So it's been raining here for almost a week....and I was in need of some sunshine. I decided to use a free week of tanning at Ultratan and went in last night to start. I have tanned in beds before and knew that I've always had issues not being able to pull the lid all the way down....at most I pulled it tight down on my belly....but never closed. So I anticipated having the same issues last night. But alas...I DID NOT! I layed down in that tanning bed....reached to pull the top down and low and behold it CLOSED! ALL THE WAY!!!! I couldnt stop the tears from flowing down my face!!!!

It seems to be the little things that happen to me when I least expect it that mean the most to me!!! Times when I dread doing something cause I couldnt do it before....then find out I can do them now!

Needless to say I am excited to go back again tonight!!!

How exciting - congrats! I have heard that it is the little things that really matter when it comes to our weight loss and this just is another example. Keep up the good work!!!!!

I had surgery oct 3, 2012, is there a certain amount of time i have to wait to get into tanning bed? I get nervous about my incisions.....how long did you wait??

I need to tan badly. Im going to start next month so I am deliciously dark by shorts season

What a great NSV!!!! I'm happy for you.

I'm just hoping to have fewer "smile" lines everywhere.

I LOVED my free week of tanning...got a good base...but more than likely wont go back to tan more unitl March/April. (My skin holds color well, at least thats what the tattoo artist said! LOL) I tan easy and get really brown.... the hubby likes the "starter" tan I have now...lol he said "Wow, that brown in a week?"

I only did the week this early in the year because of all of the rain/cold. Couldnt take it, had to have a little artificial "vacation"....

My surgeon said no sun on incisions for one year. So I would think if you cover your tummy you should be ok. Or sunscreen?

I wonder why no sun for a year. I will ne breaking that. My surgeon never told me anything of the sort

[Nicole K 352]

The sun darken's the incisions making them more noticeable. Not like I will be in a bikini as I have so many stretch marks as it is. Lol

Oh how I want to get a tan!!!!! I'd gladly take a couple darker marks to have a nice tan!! Ugh. I hate winter.

I agree! Like I said I already have stretch marks, so what's 6 dark scars! I say go for it.

It just feels so good to get in ...shut the lid and lay there...quiet, still and feeling warm and like I am at the beach!

Nobody sees my scars but me...and sometimes my hubby....and we dont care if the are darker! I really felt like I just had to have some "sunshine" after a week of it raining.... now today its sleeting and some mixed snow in it... thinking I am going to head back and tan again today! Yucky weather!! Would love for spring to come on!!!
