REASONS
Reasons Tuesday, February 21, 2012 | A Rambling story
Everybody has a reason as to why they do something. I have in the past had reasons upon reasons as to why I wouldn't/couldn't have wls. Finally, I am in a place where the reasons against have been shut down and the reasons for it are loud and clear. So here is my list of reasons why I am going to have this surgery. All of them, some may be superficial but they are still my reasons.
1. without this surgery I am going to die
2. I want to be the wife that my husband deserves
3. I want to be the mom that my son deserves
4. I want to be a daughter that can take care of her parents instead of her parents helping to take care of her.
5. I want to be the sister that my younger sisters want to have
6. I want to be the fun active aunt for my nieces and nephews once again
7. I want to have a life outside of the four walls of my house
8. I want to stop feeling ashamed of myself every time I go somewhere and know that all that people see when they look at me is a fat person.
9. I want to finally be able to lose weight and keep it off
10. I want to be able to wear real jeans once again
11. I want to be able to put on a swimsuit and not have everyone at the beach or pool think that a whale has beached themselves.
12. I want that little red dress not black red because red stands out and I am finally going to really stand out and let the world know I am here.
13. I want to go to my 20 year class reunion and have classmates walk up to me and ask me who I am cause all they knew was the fat girl
14. I want to get a second look from other people and have my son and husband proud to say she belongs with us.
15. I want to be proud of me again.
16. To be able to finally buy me a new winter coat that will fit me like it should. 17. To finally be able to go into a store and buy clothes off the rack that will fit me and be in stock. 18. To stay out of the predicted wheel chair a lot longer than what is being predicted now. 19. To be able to take a nice long, hot soaking bath in my bathtub that will actually cover most to all of my body.
20. Finally be rid of the neuropathy that I am experiencing right now and the fear that I will end up like my mother and start losing my toes
21. Finally get the pressure off my joints and be able to move better.
22. Be able to get back to work
