Saturday conversation starter:

Okay - lets get some chatter on this board!  What is the number one thing that you are looking forward to after WLS?  I can't wait to be able to go shopping in the REGULAR SIZE section of a clothing store (and not be limited to Lane Bryant/CJ Banks, etc.)

I can't wait to run again. I used to love running, but can't because it hurts too much with all the extra weight.

Wow - that was a bomb!  Seems like nobody is on during the weekend!  Here are some more of my top 10 post-WLS things I am looking forward to (besides the one listed above):

10. Not being the fattest one in the group

9.  Wearing sexy lingerie and FEELING sexy when I do!

8.  Believing it when my husband says I'm beautiful.

7.  Not having to THINK about what I'm eating every second of the day - how many calories/points have I used and how many do I have left? 

6.  Wanting to exercise and enjoying it!

5.  No "chub rub" on my inner thighs!

4.  Sharing my 17-year old daughter's clothes

3.  Not having my younger children point out every weight loss gimmick on TV and telling me I should try them.

2.  Taking a family vacation and having no limitations on what I can do:  ride every ride, ride a horse, or sit in any seat!

1.  Being healthy with a BMI less than 25!

ok here goes.... i still have a hard time admitting the things that bother me about being fat to other people... even to you guys who completely understand....

1. Ride the roller coaster! this is a big one for me...
2. i want to eat at a resturaunt without people staring at what i order or eat...
3. i want to grocery shop without skinny people examining my c art to see what im buying....
4. i want to tie my shoes so the laces arent on the side... and not hold my breath doing it
5. i want to sit in a booth at the resturaunt!
6. i want to FEEL attractive
7. cross my legs
8. use a regular bathroomstall without wiggling around the door. (sometimes i think the stalls are just getting smaller)
9. i want to get up out of the tub or off the floor without having to get on all fours.
10. i wanna shop ANYWHERE!

edited to add.... 11. use a regular size towel when i take a shower

Those used to be just a dream.  Now we are making the reality!  Good for us!  The closer I get the more excited I get.  34 days to go!!
