I want to skip our Vegas vacation!

[midwestchickie 0]

Sheesh, my thoughts are all over the place! This August was to be our 3rd annual Vegas trip w/our good single guy friend. They do a football draft and then the three of us whoop it up and have a good time.

I'm focused on having my surgery, hopefully within the next 2-3 months., and I want to skip Vegas. My dh isn't soo much down with my idea. Way deep down, it's b/c I'm thinking, "I don't want to go, b/c I'm fat and I want to wait till next year and I'll feel so much better" Silly, b/c I went last year and the year before that....

It's almost like I want to stop living until I can start living with the band! I think it's making me kind of grumpy in day to day life. ??

Sorry to be a pain in the butt with all my concerns...!

You can't put your life on hold...

I would go and enjoy it while you can. After the band you won't be able to enjoy food or drink as much. Have a good time and take lots of pictures so you can compare this year to next!

I'd go for it in a New York minute! Have lots of pictures taken of yourself, and when you are a goddess next year go back to Vegas and have then taken again...what great "before and after" pix they'll be!!

I agree with the others. GO! Have a fabulous time. Get your mind off everything, and just enjoy yourself.

Go & Have Fun, live with the excitement of knowing next year you'll be skinnier, but this year your life is worth living no matter the weight!!

i can understand you not wanting to go. i go to vegas a lot. i will tell you that most people are totally relaxed and on vacation. everyone chilling. it may be just what you need. your man wants you there. most guys want to go alone. tells me you must be wanted.. i think you should be there for your man and try to make him happy. if hes happy then arent you happy.

Don't put your life on hold. I never did. I even wore swimsuits and went to the beach before banding. F%$# It!! It someone doesn't like it? F%$# them!!! They don't have to look. I did the band for ME. NOT THEM!! You go and have a marvelous time. Next year will be more fun in some ways and less fun in others. It's all relative and balances out in the wash. Just LIVE!!!

You guys are right....I'd laugh if one of my *larger* friends didn't want to go somewhere b/c of their size.

I especially love saying, "fu*k it!"

Thanks!

I would skip the trip and concentrate on your surgery . Its a huge life change in which you are embarking on. Good luck.
