OnMyWay2Better
So, where do I start...I guess by saying I've been overweight most of my life! It seems like the last 11 years have just gotten worst. I just keep getting fatter and fatter! I lose a little bit, only to gain a lot more back. I currently weigh around 379 and this is not the heaviest I've been (lawd have mercy)! It seems like I have forever been trying to find reasons to justify being overweight. I came to the conclusion that there is no justification...I need to lose weight and I need help to do it! So as I get closer to my target surgery date I can't help but imagine how the following things will feel:
Not having to make excuses to my 5yr old son as to why I can't take him to an amusement park (I'm too fat to fit on a ride with him)
Eventually being able to share clothes with my best friend since high school
Learning how to ride a bike (was too embarassed when I was younger becasue I was so fat)
Not having to shop at Lane Bryant
Not being the "fat one in the group"
Not being the fattest one in my whole family
Learning how to swim (never did when I was younger becasue I was embarassed to wear a switsuit)
Being able to walk up some stairs to a meeting and not having to wait a few minutes before I go in because I'm breathing too hard
I'm sure there are many more! Some I don't realize that I want to do and some I will learn along the way! I am so happy I have made the decision to have weight loss surgery and I'm "On My Way 2 Better"!
