I had never purchased anything from Vicoria's secret until recently (before this purchase the secret would have been what the heck am I going to do with these things). I can fit into airplane seats and retaurant booths comfortably. I can just move and breath with greater ease. The lap band was truly the tool I needed to jump my flight to being 50 and fabulous!!!!

Congratulations!!! That is a HUGE milestone. I'm 44 and intend on turning 45 fit and fabulous!!!

In my case, all of the above I too have been affected by.

Some things I can do now: I can wear a belt, I can run after my son without getting tired really quick, I can run up and down stairs without my knees hurting.

It all gets better by the day.

I can't wait to learn how to swim. Can you believe weight kept me from learning because I didnt want to put on a swimsuit.

I didnt think sweat pants and a t shirt would go over to well/

I just don't like to get dressed. I don't like to be around people. People take it personally and add to my stress. They don't understand that I just don't feel comfortable doing the things they want to do and I don't want people to see me at this size. It's hard. I think they take it personal, but they have to understand. It is what it is. I can only be me and feel what I feel.

I feel you. My 16 year old daughter says I'm just not a people person and unfortunately she's right. I don't feel comfortable in my own skin, so my comfort level around others is really low.

Shopping for clothes! It is so depressing to have to get larger and larger sizes. Also, I do not like to wear anything too reveiling and at 44, that is difficult, since I live in HOTlanta!

I am looking forward to wearing different clothes!:wink2:

I can definitely relate to both of your posts. I hope this changes somewhat once I lose some of this weight.

I want to be able to run and play with my daughter more than five minutes, feel comfortable with being in pictures and shop for clothes that I love instead of what will make me look smaller. With the weight I have lost so far, I feel more confident and know that I made the right decision at this point and time in my life.

U know being over weight has stopped me from being who i am in the inside. I have always felt that I was so much thinner than i actually am. I have always wanted to jogg, go to the beach, wear a 2 piece swim suit.. wear the tummy tops that show your stomach.. I want a belly ring and a stomach chain.... and I am going to get it...
