Instead of whining about how hungry I am today (which, honestly, I'm not all that hungry anymore), I thought I'd make my Fat Girl Bucket List. But rather than a list of things I want to do before I die, it's a list of things I want to do after I lose the weight. So here we go...
1. I want to be able to cross my legs like a lady. I can do it now, but its quite difficult and uncomfortable.
2. I want to be able to ride ANY ride at Disney World. When DH and I were there a couple years ago, there were several rides we couldn't fit on. It was humiliating. I never want to feel like that again.
3. I want to sit in a movie theater chair without having to lift the arm rests or have them jabbing into my hips. Same with an airplane seat.
4. I want to shop in a non-plus-size clothing store. I want to be able to walk into any clothing store anywhere and be able to fit into at LEAST their largest size.
5. I want to get rid of my CPAP machine. No more sleep apnea for me after I lose the weight!!
6. I want to be able to see my collarbone and my cheek bones and my jawline. I know they're there somewhere...
7. I want to no be the "fat bridesmaid" at my sister's wedding in a few years. It may sound wrong, but I've been praying that she doesn't get married until I lose the weight. Everyone has seen the "fat bridesmaid" at a wedding. Its like watching a train wreck encased in satin.
8. I want to be able to wear my adorable b/w houndstooth coat that I bought but could barely fit into it. Its a sz. 18.
9. I want to have a normal body temp. At this weight, I am hot all.the.time. I sweat constantly and once I get overheated, I can't cool off.
10. I want to be able to fit back into my wedding gown. Granted, I was heavy when I got married almost 9 years ago, but nothing like I am now. I want to look HOT in that dress again before I give it away!
Ok, thats all I can think of right now. Just listing all of these things is making me SO EXCITED!
5 days and counting...
Great list Jenny! I'm a leg crossing fiend now that I can do it. I put the call out on my blog so hopefully you'll get some more support soon.

Hi Jenny, Linda sent me over. I had surgery on May 24, 2010. Good luck to you! I know pre op is tough, but you can do it. I am so happy you have a blog because you can get so much support and information! I will be checking on you!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! Linda sent me, and she is the greatest! I love your list! Best of luck! And if you are so inclined, you can follow me too at: http://somethingsomethingsomethingfatchick.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! Linda sent me over! I am getting banded next week too. On Wednesday. I completely understand your pre-op diet hunger!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you will have lots of bandster neighbors getting banded about your time. It helps a lot to have people to connect with. Wonderful list! You are off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteI was on the 10 day pre-op liquid diet. I was banded May 25, and I'm now on the two week liquid post-op diet...One day at a time and find things to distract yourself. That is the biggest help. Good luck to you!
