WHAT I AM NOT GOING TO MISS......
MJ, are we living the same life! Wow, your list (and those that followed) struck such a chord with me. Best of luck on your surgery. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Great, honest list of things that WILL get better. I can't believe the difference in just 7 months post. Hopefully you're in recovery today and sipping and walking and feeling hopeful.
Not going to miss
- cursing going up the stairs because I forgot something
- asking my kids to fetch me this or fetch me that
- people not making eye contact with me
- people looking away
- being called fat names
- relying on food as a crutch
- pretending to be confident
- avoiding social gatherings
- avoiding my husbands work parties
- plus size clothes
- big granny undies
- putting deoderant on interesting crevices of my body
- not being able to wipe my butt properly
- my friends no family's pity or 'concern'
