time to spill it! (yes this includes you)

I should get my surgery date next Thursday. 2 Big Goals for me:

1) fly comfortably in February. I will take a 6 hr flight to be there for the delivery of a new grand baby. My daughter's first child. I have Taken this flight several times. I want to FIT in the seat NO belt extension!

2.) buy something besides just perfume in Victoria Secret! 😊

Alright now im loving that victorias secret goal!

I would love buying the undies without the women in there wondering why im there and not Lane Bryant 

Of course, I want a new wardrobe NOT from the women's section. But my specific, personal goal is to be able to climb back on my best friend's boat without help. Once I can do that, I'm going to learn how to wakeboard!

Look out world here comes averybyrd :)

Love myself again.....I have spent to many years hating that I am so big, unhealthy and so unhappy about it and then eating my feelings away.

 

I want to LOVE being me again!

Youve taken the first step already. Youve made the decision to do something about your predicament. Loving youself is something you can do right now this moment. Forgive yourself... plain and simple for everything. For your mistakes, your faults, your failures, for putting yourself on the back burner, for hating yourself and promise yourself to start loving yourself right now..for who you are this momeny. You are worthy. It starts there

Some of the things I really looked forward to doing once I got my surgery date were riding rollercoasters again without standing in line all stressed out about whether I would fit, wearing 3-4" high heels without my feet screaming in pain after 5 minutes, taking up only my own seat space on an airplane, being able to buy clothes anywhere, and going parasailing.

At 6 years out, all the other things a "old hat" now, but I still haven't been parasailing because of worry about hurting my knees on landing. Maybe next summer once my second knee replacement heals up...

Lora i hope and pray you get to do that. You have so earned that opportunity! Man i remember stressing in the roller coaster lines hoping so bad i wouldnt have to take the walk of shame after realizing i wouldnt fit. Ive passed that point now wouldnt even dream of trying cause i know the answer... maybe one day i will be able to do this again and know i will fit.
