What Fantasies Do You Have....



Recommended Posts

.... For when you loose your weight?

(Ha-ha! Made you Look!:thumbup:)

Mine are:

Being able to fit into an airplane seat without having to use a seatbelt extender;

Being able to shop at Talbots (I've always loved vintage clothes and classically tailored clothes);

Being able to buy clothes at the end-of season sales that are the SMALL sizes, and not the outrageously LARGE size leftovers that nobody buys (or will admit to);

Taking pictures again and actually being IN them and not hiding behind someone or something;

Being able to fit into GAP jeans or Old Navy casuals;

Cute sundresses instead of tents.

Ahhh..... Better than.... Chocolate!:biggrin:

I have fullfilled some of my "goals"

1. Buying clothes ANYWHERE I damn well please ! LOL

2. My family just took our first family pictures , DH and i have been married for 9 yrs and I refused pictures until now .

3. Not having to look for the CLOSEST parking spot because i'll be to out of breathe to walk lol

4. Buying a bra from Victoria's Secret

5. Shoping at Old Navy again and in the "regular" womens section not the mens section for T Shirts cause it was the the only thing that would fit me

6. I flew to Florida this summer and was NOT worried about the seat !

7. Being able to wear my wedding ring again . ( Which is ALMOST too BIG now ! )

There are a few more things I would like to do / get still !

for me it is little things

-being able to fit behind my wheel and not be wedged in (when I was buying my new car i got stuck in the explorer suv they were trying to sell me)

-being able to be weighed on regular doctors scales.

-being able to sit in a chair with arms

-being able to sit in a chair and not break it ( i have done many times)

-being able to ride a bike again

bigger and better things: going to concerts where I can fit in the seats, going to the mall and shopping with my kids, going to museums.

it has only just begun

Mine were entirely vain and about all the great clothes I would wear. Funny, they never included how badly I'd break the budget and how much I'd fight with DH over all those clothes I bought! Nobody else in the family has had anything for ages, lol.

If you could see inside my head when I'm running, you would die laughing, honestly. The reality of my 41 year old bod, not built to be a gifted runner by any stretch of the imagination, sweating, red faced, awkward gait, compared with the fluent, graceful athelete that I am in my mind is like night and day, lol. In my head I poetry in motion, in reality I just trod in dog poo or tripped down the gutter. And my nose running drives me nuts.

- I live in NYC, so I'm on public transportation 24/7 and I soon hope to fit into one of the seats without spilling over a bit. While I'm not as large as most bandsters, I have a wholeeee lot of hips/thighs/butt and it takes up a tiny bit more than one seat >.<

- Be able to buy jeans in "regular" and "trendy" stores, i.e. Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, etc. Me being bottom heavy was already an issue, I'm SO gonna fight to fit into those jeans!

- Dresses and skirts! I can wear them now, but I have soo many issues with my *ahem* untoned legs. I'm going to begin incorporating exercise soon, so they're gonna look awesome when summer comes around.

- & the oh-so-typical one: Bathing suit. Rather, BIKINI. Woohaa!! I'm going to wear one this summer regardless if I'm at goal or not damn it!

My real fantasies? Oh geez, I think I posted something like this before, but I bet it has changed since then (-100 lbs later)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

- Being able to jog (working on it)<o:p></o:p>

- Walking down the subway train aisle without bumping into people<o:p></o:p>

- Looking into the mirror and seeing me – not some obese stranger with a frown on her face.<o:p></o:p>

- Going into a job interview without thinking I’ll be judged because of my weight<o:p></o:p>

- Of course, shopping in the ‘normal’ size clothing stores (1 or 2 sizes away from that now)<o:p></o:p>

- Looking healthy, feeling healthy<o:p></o:p>

- Strengthening my self esteem. <o:p></o:p>

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
