Thinking about WHY I want to loose weight



Recommended Posts

I came up with a long list. Add your list if you would like.

* To be able to get on a plane and not worry about weather or not I’ll have to get a seatbelt extender

* To not worry if I will fit on a roller coaster (although I’ve always said I didn’t like them to hide the fact I may not fit)

* To be invited to supper with your husbands new friends/new coworkers and not worry about what they will think of his “fat” wife

* To undress in front of my husband and not be embarrassed

* To put on a swimsuit and not look like a whale

* To ride on my husbands motorcycle and feel good about it (not feel like I am too heavy for him to hold up the bike)

* To wear tanktops

* To have cute legs again

* To possibly wear a bikini

* To take sexy pictures to send to my husband while he’s deployed

* To be able to run with my husband

* To play ball with my daughter for more than 5 minutes without getting worn out

* To be able to buy a matching dress for me and my daughter (never seen a plus size dress to match a kids dress)

* To believe my husband when he tells me I’m beautiful

* To be able to be on top without getting worn out when making love to my husband

* To wear sexy bras and panties and look good in them

* To sit on my husbands lap and not worry that I am hurting him

* To have my husband be able to pick me up if he wants

* To be able to wear one of my husbands tshirts to bed and it be too big

* To not be the “fat mom” anymore

* To go on vacation and actually have a good time and not worry about my weight the entire time

* To not have to ask for an extra large wheelchair if I have to be in the hospital again

* To be able to get pregnant easily

* To be the smallest female in MY family

* To go to Disney and not be worn out the first hour I’m there

* To have a good self esteem for once in my life

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
