I remember when......

Have fun with this!!!

I remember when, I had to stretch out tee shirts in order to have them fit....

I remember when, I used to go grocery shopping, buy a package of ice cream somethings....and eat them on the way home!!

I remember when I used to go through the McD's drive through for a snack (a double cheeseburger, fries and a coke) on the way TO the grocery store so that I wouldn't be tempted to buy junk food while I was shopping for the week!

I remember when I would go to a party and eat nothing there then come home and binge till I felt sick...

I remember when I would go to the corner store, pick up a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, come home and eat the entire thing without even tasting it...

I remember when I had to confess to my kids that I ate the rest of the cake, cookies, chips, ice cream, anything they were looking for and saw their faces... 

Thats me - the darn Ben & Jerrys. Why do they make it in those convenient single serve containers (that are probably 6 servings LOL). My huge thing is sitting here at my desk munching. I don't eat healthy dinners because my husband works 2:30pm to 1am so I pop in a frozen pizza or something. You'd think I had it made, I could eat whatever healthy thing I want for dinner, have time to excercise because I have no kids - yet I don't!! Talk about being your own worst enemy. And to boot I smoke - which I intend to stop very soon. I am asking my Dr for Chantix tomorrow. The one entire healthy thing I do in my whole life is I don't drink soda, I drink sparkling water. Thats it - the one and only healthy habit I have. Is there anyone else out there like me? I just wonder if I can really ever change because I have been like this for so long and heavy for so long. I guess I am at the desperation point - there is no light at the end of my tunnel yet.

i remember when i would just have the feed bag on every single night, you know don't eat during the day, then chow down come night time after dinner

I remember buying size 30 - 32 clothes. That was the biggest size in the store

Oh yes - the stretched out t shirts - so familiar. I am pre-op so I am oh so familiar with this. How about the "pants bend acrobatics" to make those fresh out of the dryer jeans fit?? Always a blast.

LOL...I used to line dry my jeans so they would not have that "shrinking" problem.... I also had to lay down on the bed to get them zipped!!!  Now I put them on, and I can pull them off over my hips without even undoing them!!

You will be able to soon. 

Well mine fit well.... cuz they are size 26!!!
But I can't wait for the day whenI can buy smaller clothes. I am just starting this process and honestly it can't go fast enough for me....

I know just how you feel.  It could not go fast enough for me either.  You will be amazed though, enjoy the ride...it is fantastic.

did you say if you were having the lap band or RNY?
