WHAT I AM NOT GOING TO MISS......

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

Hey MJ sounds about right!! Those are some awesome things not to miss! See you at TWH :)

Thank you so much for this. It is so true, I'm going to add a few extras of mine...

21. Sweating as soon as the temperature passes 19

22. Rashes (enough said)

23. Being embarrassed to eat in public in case some says something to me

24. Worrying that a chair won't hold me

25. Having strangers offer food purchase critique in the check out lane

26. Having strangers yell "Fat F-ing !!!ch" out their car window as I'm walking along

27. Being ignored

28. Being overly cheerful to counter being ignored

29. Not being able to paint my own toenails/shave the backs of my thighs!

30. Being uncomfortable when going to the spa for any kind of services because of my weight

31. Passing on awesome events because I'm scared what others will think

Those are really good ones, we shouldn't have had to endure. Much love and respect.

Yay @ tomorrow! It will go smoothly. I will keep you in my prayers for sure. Please be sure to check in when you can.

32. Needing a seatbelt extender on a flight

33. Wearing flat shoes

34. Sitting on the sidelines

35. Tiring easily

These are all so good, thanks for sharing! ?

awesome list, here are some of the things I don't miss in addition to all of the above

• worried I am going to have a heart attack
• hating my reflection in the mirror
• blaming every situation on "fat"
• being too tired to play with my kids
• not liking summer because of the heat
• not liking winter because of the bulk of winter clothes
• wearing black all the time

Good luck tomorrow! Wishing you a speedy recovery !
