Will & Will-Nots for Pre & Post-Bandsters

[HappyHomeCC 2]

I will never again hoard my overweight clothes that may fit me when I regain... CUZ I AM NOT GOING BACK!

I will never again buy jeans that will stretch ie Gloria Vanderbilt.

So many never agains...

- i work in a school, so never again will i squeeze my fat ass into one of those freaking desk, with my "extra boobs" piling over the top

- never again will i be embarrassed about what's in my grocery cart and paranoid that everyone is judging my choices....

- never again will i have to go to the "left" (or right) of the door at the clothing store to get to the plus size half

- never again will i be "such a pretty face"... knowing they are thinking .... but so fat :confused:

- never again will i wear capris all summer in 100 degree weather because i wouldnt dare put on shorts

- never again will my son suffer at MY weight. just yesterday I called to set up swim lessons and had to make sure it wasn't a "mommy and me" class first, because if it was, i wasn't doing it. how sad for my son

- never again will i be ashamed to do ANYTHING because someone might say something rude in front of a new boyfriend, etc and just make me want to DIE (there are some RUDE freaking people in this world)!

- never again will i have to stalk the tables and booths in a restaurant to 1. make sure ill fit at the booth and 2. make sure i can find a semi-direct path that doesnt require my belly and butt rubbing someone else's chair - or worse, having to ask them to "scoot"

- never again will i stand all day at a BBQ because I am scared of chairs - listen to that SCARED OF CHAIRS! how pathetic! because i wont fit, they might break, the arms will dig in and my fat will squeeze out, etc

- never again will i have to skip the cute shoes because they dont come in "WIDE"

- never again will i be ashamed to go to the food table at a party or cookout or whatever because im too ashamed of what people think when they see me up there eating

- never again will i be the "fat mom" at my son's activities

What a great list you have! I totally identify with standing at the BBQ and stalking resturants for booth sizes and pathyway girths!!!

I, too, work in a school and have always had that problem. All very good, counselor!!! You will do it. How are you doing so far? Any problems? How long till you felt yourself after surgery? Are you still sore? Tell me everything....

Michelle, My husband saw my list and asked, "Do you really look around the room to see if you are the heaviest person?" We have been married 20 years and never knew that about me. lol

These are all so great. I too hope to be banded in March 2010. Keep this list going, I love them all

[JeweI 2]

I will ride a rollercoaster with my son. I will not be afraid of triping and breaking a bone because of my weight. I will buy a two piece bathing suit. I will buy "skinny" jeans. I will not be embarrassed to eat in front of others.

Illumination,

That made me LOL. I'm so happy you put that on your fridge! I put mine in my car on the dashboard - to keep me from going to the drivethru while I'm waiting for my surgery date.

Catmom,

I know! I wish more people would share their will&will-nots! I can identify with all of them!!!

JeweI,

I know your pain of the "skinny" jeans - I can't wait until I can wear a pair of them without looking like an upsidedown triangle!

Never again will I go into my bathroom or closet to change clothes so my fiance can't see me.....even though we have lived together for 3 years. How ridiculous is that.....

Never again will someone tell my daughter, "You like just like your mother, but small....." She is 21.

Never again will I avoid posting my own picture.....because I will not be anxiety stricken to the point of needing to be tranquilized at the thought of someone taking a picture of me.

NO more people asking when my baby is due...UGH!!!:sad:

I completely understand your pain; I am an accomplished photographer, it was the simplest way to ensure I could always be safe behind the camera.

I will no longer have to shimmy sideways down a narrow isle at a store!

[123crod 170]

Never again will I be the fat child

[TheCutestFatty 3]

I will no longer wonder whether I am encroaching into the space of the person sitting next to me on the plane.

Never again will I walk by a window or mirror and wonder what the heck that thing is following me only to realize that it is my butt! :wink2:
