Katie P.
My Gastric Bypass Surgery Motives
Nov 17, 2006
This is going to be such a blast to share!
1. I want to look and be described as beautiful. :0)
2. I want to be able to shop at any store.
3. I don't want to have to go into a store and have to ask for the women's department. I just want to shop in the "regular sized" departments.
4. I want to look goregous in my wedding dress next year.
5. I want exercise to be fun!
6. I want my fiance to feel "proud" to be seen with me. I want his friends to say: "WOW! Your wife is hot!"
7. I want to be a healthy and active mother. (I'm all most ashamed to have this motive be so low on my list, but....right now....I'm not ready to be a mom. But....I am ready to have these other things. I'm just planning and looking down the road for when it is time to become a mother.)
8. I want to get attention.
9. I want to feel beautiful.
10. I want to enjoy shopping and exercising.
11. I want someone to say to me: "Katie. That shirt looks too big for you." Instead of me being too big for the shirt!
12. I want to receive compliments.
13. I want to turn heads.
14. I've always been compared to everyone else. Now, I want everyone else compared to me.
15. I want to be able to enjoy dinner without people looking at what I'm eating and wondering why I'm eating it.
16. This may seem silly, but this is one of the biggest reasons of all:
I DON'T WANT MY THIGHS TO TOUCH!
17. I want to wear clothes I've never worn before. I'm 22 and have not worn a pair of shorts since I was 10 years old. I want to wear a short skirt instead of only long ones. I want to wear a dress. I want to wear high heels.
18. I want to encourage other people.
19. I want to look beautiful in pictures and videos.
20. I want Jonathan and I to be happy.....
