Light hearted thread

[Alia]

Just thought I'd do a light hearted thread. Sometimes we all get caught up in the seriousness of wls and in our recovery and journey. I'm sure there are lots of comical thoughts and moments and even aims throught out our journey and I thought I'd start.

One of my aims is to see my c section scar with out having to look at it using a mirror :8855:

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

gr8 thread alia, one of my aims which i can do now is put on my socks & shoes with out it being a fight and a struggle getting to my feet.

oh and i can cut my own toe nails now lol

 

[tesmaralda]

to see my feet when i look at the floor when standing up and bounce on th etrampoline without catapulting my daughters over several the neighbours fences:8855::8855::8855:

great thread alia. I too cannot see my caesarean scar but hope to be able to one day. I also struggle with shoes and socks and so darent go shopping for new ones as I look a right pillock dancing round the shoe shop trying to get a boot on.

LMAO at you on the tramploline Terri. I darent get on my kids trampoline but look forward to using it as a keep fit aid when I have lost my first 5 stones or so.

I would also like to be able to walk to the corner shop without getting out of breath, and finally to be able to wear sexy underwear instead of a hammock

I am looking forward to getting up close and personal with the opposite sex!

 

[cazbandy]

To have sex in a normal position.....:8855::8855::8855::8855::8855:

 

[phatgirl]

To be able to actually cross my legs without one of my legs going numb. Oh, and not start counting people in the lift so I can be sure not to make it overweight when I get in!!!

LOOOL there are some great ones here, another one sprang to mind earlier. I want to go and get my legs waxed and not have the lady look at me cause she needs gallons of wax to do all my legs... as for a brazilian, I'd love to have the confidence to bare all and get a professional job instead of going in blind with a razor and and needing a blood transfusion afterwards cause I can't see what I'm doing

One of my strategies of self defence of my weight over the years was to be the comedian and poke fun at myself over weight related issues.

PG mentioned about counting the people in the lift to make sure it would n't be overweight as she got in... I'd go one further than that and actually get into a lift full of people and say, hey if this lift does n't move don't be blaming me huh... I think they would be more embarrassed than I was.

I find its always better to laugh at myself before other people do. :8855::8855:

I'm looking forward to there being more room in my bed...and not worrying about it collapsing, especially when me and the hubby do the deed!!! lol

OH GOODNESS don't get me started on that one. We bought a very expensive super kingsize bed at the begining of last year, cost over £1000 pounds and I'm mortified that my side squeaks every time I move and that the wheels on my side are bent.. of course I could put that down to heavy duty night time excersises but then who would I be kidding.

My hubby is a big person, 6ft 2 and 18 stone and prior to that we were sleeping in my normal sprung double divan from before my marriage and if I sat on the edge I'd be in danger of sliding onto the floor and hubby fell out of bed more times than I care to mention. By morning the mattress would be half hanging off the bed too lol... things just are n't made to accomodate the larger people.

lol that brings back memories of when i 1st met my hubby many moons ago, we was in a bed sit doing the deed, and the guy in the room below us from nigeria, came up the stairs, the leg had came off the bed and we continued on, he banged on the door and said why are you shifting furniture at this time of night as im trying to study:8855:

it was so funny long time since i thought about that point back in my life.

[weight loss hopeful]

Id like to see my feet and get a new mattress without fear of wearing a me shape groove in it on my side. x

 

[tesmaralda]

after our latest news years eve party i cant wait to be taken up town by my young neices and nephews and show them how dance (or what ever it is they do now) properly i would say drink them under the table but by then ill be a light weight,

 

[WeightlossWannabee]

I long to be able to go for an all over spray tan!!

 

[djbp98]

I wanna be able to lay in a foetal position in bed not in a corpse like one to stretch everything out, just incase the other half puts his arm around me. I try and make myself about 6ft in bed (Im only 5'6) to try and put all my wobbly bits in different positions!! lol To be able to go to the gym and look in the mirrors, instead of looking away everytime I used the rowing machine - because when you pull the row bar into your chest it scrunches all your wobbly bits up....mmmmm not a pretty sight!!! What about this one...my friend wants an animal tattoo on her back but wont get it done until she loses weight because if she gets it done now if she moves her back it will look like its running (her words not mine!)

 

[hopelesscase]

i help run a charity for families of disabled children and every summer we have 4 sessions of water activities. I always volunteer to be a spotter from the shore. Im looking forward to getting a wetsuit on and joining in the fun.

As for the waxing thing i have been having my legs waxed for years but only because the girl who does them is (this sounds so shallow but it gave me confidence)a big girl herself. she is lovely and having seen my weight loss is concidering seeing her GP. But last time i went she kept saying i cant believe how much smaller yr legs are it also took 20 mins less. lol

great post alia
