Reasons why I am thankful for my WLS:
1. I am able to wear more stylish clothes because my size is smaller, also I am able to find something in any store, not just one super plus size store.
2. I have plenty of room in booth style seating at a restuarant.
3. I can cross my legs
4. I can sneak into small parking spots because I don't need to fully extend the door to get out.
5. I can weigh myself on any scale,
6. I feel pretty again and my confidence has been boosted
7. I have met wonderful people in the WLS community
and of course my TOP REASON - I'm closer to starting a family and my life and marriage finally moving to the next stage in life. June 2009 HERE I COME! :)
I can't forget these constants in my life, WLS or not they are the reason why I have stability, love and sanity (okay and sometimes not so sane times) - my husband, my parents and my other family and close friends.
