HI it's me MJ! My surgery is tomorrow - Yes, I can't wait and Yes, I am nervous....

I was thinking yesterday about the things I am not going to miss about being obese.

  1. Being Obese. How did that happen?
  2. Heaving myself out of my Dodge Challenger
  3. Using the handicap stall in the restroom
  4. Paying more for a basic T or paying more for any Plus size clothes than regular
  5. Additionelle and Penningtons - don't get me wrong they were nice folks
  6. Scavenging through the racks at Old Navy to find the 2XL to try in on and find out it doesn't fit!
  7. Feeling like I am taking up too much space on the transit
  8. Being the biggest girl at the office
  9. Being offered work related apparel and them not ordering me the right size
  10. Starting a diet EVERY Monday morning.
  11. My BF asking me what I'm eating/not eating today - depending on what diet I'm on
  12. Not being able to breath
  13. Being squishy - baby's are squishy not 50 yr old women
  14. Not being able to bend down to tie my shoes
  15. My thighs rubbing together
  16. Wearing black stretch pants with over sized shirts
  17. Shopping for clothes in general
  18. Wanting to eat the whole fridge after work or a whole food court at lunch
  19. Eating until I feel sick
  20. Food/alcohol hangovers

Well that is all I can think of for now - feel free to add on!!!

Please keep me in your prayers or wish me luck - I'm really going to do this!

Together we get BETTER
