what are you looking foward to?

I cant wait to wear BOOTS again!!!
Snow boots, dressy boots and casual boots. I love boots. I might even buy some cowboy boots!!!

I am soooo looking forward to laying flat when I sleep. I know I will have little to no Acid reflux/heart burn after my WLS. DO you know how longs it been since i only slept with ONE pillow or had to get up in the middle of the night to go sleep on the couch sitting up?? LOL

I cant wait to keep up with my kids...at the mall or the zoo or anywhere where i have to walk alot.

Going up stairs without getting out of breath.

bending over to tie my shoes without my stomach getting in the way.

not having to lift my stomach up when i want to curl up on the couch. You know...ill tell you something very embarrassing. I have more then once misplaced my cell phone while sitting on the couch...guess where i found it? when i would stand up to see if it had got caught in between the couch cushions...it fell out of one of my rolls...OMG!!! How embarrassing.

I am looking forward not not having to replace toilet seats.

The fear of sitting in someones chair at their house and maybe breaking it.....that will be gone!!

Think of all the room i will have between me and my steering wheel in my car. Oh..and the car wont move when i get in and out. That's sooo embarrassing.

I wont feel so self concuish when i have to bend over at work and everyone looking at my big behind!!!

being able to take care of my feet and toes. painting my toes in the "NORMAL" fashion. You know...just bending over and taking a few secs to do them...LOL

no more ankle, knee & lower back pain. Maybe ill get rid of all my headaches. My bra probably wont leave big indentations in my shoulders. The swelling in my heads and feet will be gone.

Fitting into my bathtub so i can finally take a bubble bath!!!! OMG!!!!!

oh...i could probably keep going but that's the main stuff!!

What are YOU looking forward to??? Hummmmmm

 

I can't wait to buy clothes again.   Ever since I had my boys I will only wear black.  I have about 15 of the same black V neck T shirts and that is all I ave worn snce.  Its sad.  My jeans and capris are the same way, all the same brand, they are the walmart  stretchy jeans and I can still squeeze my big butt in an extra large.  I have no idea what my acutal jean size is anymore.

I can't wait to be in pictures again.  Other them for the birth of my boys I have NO pctures of me with my children.  I just can't stand to see myself in pictures.  We are ging to Disney next week and I am making it a point to be in at least a couple of pictures.  I need to have some before pictures.

No more back aches!  More energy!  No more over hanging belly (I hope).  I will be so happy that I can finally really play with my kids. 

I soooo know about the clothes. I have the same crappy t-shirts. Stained, stretched out and most of the time the ones i wear are my husbands. I get excited when he gets clothes for Christmas because that means i have new clothes...its kinda a joke between me and my hubby. I hate to buy new clothes. Nothing looks right on me and it just depresses me.  i have one pair of jeans that i love and wear most of the time. Oh and sweats, gotta have my sweats!!

When i was a kid, my mom felt the same way about taking pictures. She was always the one taking them or behind the video camera. When I started scrapbooking i noticed that i had hardly any pictures of her. I made a every effort to be in every picture with my kids and family. I use to always say...." thats going to be a GREAT b4 picture!!" Everyone would get a good laugh but it came to pass...i have TONS of b4 pictures!!  I cant wait to put my pictures on here.

 I am looking forward to a healthier life. I can't wait to get off  most of the medication that I am on for diabetes and high blood pressure. It will be nice to be able to sleep with out a machine attached to me. I can't wait to be able to ride a bike with my kids. What a great time I am going to have once the weight comes off. I look forward to buying new clothes in normal sizes, no more Plus sizes for me..........oh it is going to be great.

yay!  i like this one!  let's see... i'm totally with you on the whole pictures thing. 

i'm soooo looking forward to not wincing and jumping away when my husband tries to touch my tummy.  i'm so self concious about it right now - yeah, like he can't SEE what my tummy looks like?!  ha ha.  really, though, it'll be nice to be comfortable enough with my body to enjoy stuff like that again.

i'm also looking forward to wearing a bathing suit in public again.  took the kids to a GREA****er park over the weekend, and just sat there watching because i refuse to put on a suit... can't wait to hit tha****er park in the spring!  woohoo!

um, it edited out some of my words!  just figured out why.  so let's say it was a WONDERFUL water park and can't wait to hit the park in the spring. 

I cant waittttttttttttt for the water park!!
I spent so many hot summers standing in line with the kids and then standing there watching them have a good time without me down the water slides


WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO DO THIS??? I WASTED SO MUCH OF THEIR CHILDHOOD JUST SITTING BACK AND NOT "DOING"!!!!!

Well....i cant change the past...i can only make the future better!!
