New Thread for NH

I thought I would start another thread for us. I was wondering if anyone feels like it is impossible to be thin, As a pre-op I cant even think of walking into a Talbots or another high end clothing store! I havent even been in some. I think the most exciting thing(besides health) is being able to buy clothes where I want to! WOW WHAT A CONCEPT! Something "normal size" people take for granted!!!! Anyone think of something that "normal size" people dont even think about? Chris

Yea Chris I have a few, 1. Cross your legs 2. Not worrying about fitting in a booth. 3. Paint your toenails 4. Fit on Rides in Parks 5. Fit comfortably in an airplane seat. Won't that be GRAND!!!! Chris

YEs it would! another one.......feel good about get togethers with the inlaws!!!

Wearing a bathing suit without being stared at Eating out without being stared at Grocery shopping and not being stared at getting dressed or doing your hair without being out of breath being able to wipe your butt being able to take a not worrying about being the biggest person in the room getting your picture taken

You got me rippin up! I have had all those issues too! BUt I forgot about the SWEATING OMG THE SWEATING!! I must sweat out a gallon a day. I want to take a bath in a tub that the water actually covers me, is that too much to ask for? Chris

How about walking into a room and not having to look for a chair that will hold you? Oh and walking into a room and knowing that people are looking at you and not how heavy you are? Not being asked when the baby is due? I could go on for hours..... but instead i'll introduce myself, My name is Tina and i live in Derry and am just starting the journey to a new and healthier me. I have been to 3 informational nights at Parkland Medical Center and have met with Kristin Flagg the nutritionist once, but unfortunatly missed my second apointment so i have to make a new one tomorrow, i love reading these threads and would love to chatt with people that are going through the same life change. [email protected] drop me a line or I M me. Thanks! Tina

I have been asked when is the baby due WAy TOO MANY TIMES! When I WAS pregnant no body said a word Also I dont do a lot in summer because I sweat all the time. I cant wait to be cold for once in my life. What kind of IM do you have I have 3 different ones. Chris
