What are your accomplishments?????
Andrea-
This is a great idea! Thanks for posting.
I have a long long long list like this that I made prior to surgery as a "wish list". I promise I won't list them all. But I will list some of my top stuff!
Here are some things I have accomplished!
1) I just stopped taking my blood pressure medicine and have normal blood pressure!!!! (actually it's kind of low! LOL!)
2) I am wearing XL tops and clothes I haven't worn in 8 years.
3) I am able to crawl on the floor and easily play with my preschool class and girl scout troop.
4) I have more energy.
5) I don't cringe a bit when my kids say let's walk to the park.
6) I have a waist again!
7) My bras are from the "normal" range of sizes now.
8) I like trying on clothes!
A few of my long "want to accomplish" list:
1) Buy clothes from a normal store. (I am close...but not there!)
2) Comfortably ride a bike again
3) Play tennis again
4) Be able to do a yoga class without dying of embarrasment
5) Climb the rock wall at my YMCA
Good morning ladies
First of all I want to thank you for posting this. I've been in a slump for days now and I need to relive the good things that have come from this surgery and good things to come!!!
1. Not out of breath anymore when I go places
2. I go out with my hubby and we BOTH can fit in the chairs or a booth and we go to the movies together again, something I wouldn't do because of embaressment over our weight.
3. Can tie my sneakers in the front instead of on the sides
:
4. Can walk all over the place without something to hold on to
5. Got back into a few outfits and old jeans that I knew one day I would get in them
6. Back and knee pain are definitly tollerable now
7. Have alot more self asteem
8. Went back to school and yes I fit behind the desk. Chairs are attached right to the desk
9. People complement me all the time
10. Finally got under the 300 lb. mark
There's probably alot more too!!! Can cross my leggs now too!!
Now there are few things that I would like to accomplish before Christmas!!!!!
1. Fit into all those brand new outfits I have and look good in them!!!!
2. Be under the 200lb. mark and weigh 199 or so
3. Get rid of these fat rolls I have
4. Maybe go down on some of my pain meds!!!
5. Have even more energy than I have now
6. Be a size 18 or smaller!!!!! This a big one for me
7. Have a better sex life with hubby. Not that it's too bad now but would like it more often Who wouldn't right??
8. Maybe be able to wear a bathing suit for when we go to the Bahamas in Febuary and look decent in it
9. Take a better picture of myself and do a familt portrait
10. Last but not least, maybe get myself a little make over, like a new color for my hair and some sort of style for it, whiten my teeth and buy myself a whole new wardrobe.
