My girlie gene is weak!

Not many purses fit my arms, but as I lose they will start too. I still love purses, I will either have them be a litte tight or get a shoulder strap purse or put them on my wrist etc. But I am a purse junkie, I have quite a few purses that cost over 100 dollars. Yes I know horrible, but that's from when our house caught on fire and my mom and I spoiled ourselves for having to stay in a house covered with black smoke, and not living with heat from august until february and having to wear coats and blankets all over us inside :tongue2:

I'd classify myself as a TomBoy Princess. I grew up in a "country" and I mean small town country town. Our neighborhood had about 10 boys, me and one other girl. We both had to be tomboys for self preservation. I loved to climb trees, swim, shoot (bb guns & bows & arrows) and could ride my bike with the rest of them. However, I did it often in a dress.

My father loved me in dresses and to be honest I like to hear how "pretty" I looked. I was a vain little girl, what can I say? So I'd put on a dress, go play in the field and come back home filthy. He would get SO mad! LOL...it was his fault though.

Today - I wear dresses and suits because I have to for work. At my heaviest I wore only pant suits, but now that my legs are getting better (at least from the knee down) I'm wearing more skirts.

When I get home, actually in the car on the way home, the shoes are the first to go. I hate wearing shoes! I'm a barefoot gal! If I'm not going anywhere it's PJ bottoms and tank tops...ah, comfort.

I do wear some makeup, but not much. I indulge in the occassional pedicure too - I have to something for me every now and then. That massage chair and having someone rub my feet feels like heaven! I've become a purse addict too. I love TJMAX (The evil little store it is)

So I guess I'm still a tomboy princess...just grown up.

hey gg207 - it's so sad. My trunk fills in for my closet at home. Just this morning I was rummaging through to find a pair of shoes that matched my skirt and top today - lol. I go through about once a month and take them in. I don't know why I bother - they'll end up there within days...

lol - your driving test! hehehehe...that's funny.

I don't get that! If lawmakers ever drove in heels, they'd allow barefoot drivers! :)

I don't wear heels (I'm 6 ft tall, I'm already towering over everyone, do I really need to be more intimidating)

I don't carry a purse (I carry a wallet, no not like a wallet on a chain (not that there's anything wrong with that))

I don't like sappy love movies, you know traditional girlie flicks, the only kind of movies I like with women who kick a&&.

I don't paint my nails, I do usually do my toes.

I didn't have a mani or pedi until January of this year. I would do the pedi again, but saw the mani as a waste of money.

I don't wear dresses. I only own a few for funerals and weddings.

I like to fish, I don't mind baiting my own hook or cleaning the fish when I'm done.

I do get my haircut pretty religiously, I do splurge on that.

I don't wear pantyhose. If it requires pantyhose, it just wasn't meant to be...I'm pretty sure that they could use pantyhose to get terrorists to spill their secrets...It might be the new waterboarding

I've never had the thought "Oh cool, a tiara"

      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.
