Prior to the surgery, I had a consultation with a nutritionist that asked me to write down, in my own words, all the reasons I wanted to have this surgery. Below is the list I’ve come up with so far, and I plan for it to be an evolving list as I continue down my path.
- To be comfortable in my own clothing
- To be comfortable in my own skin
- To look good naked
- To be able to keep up with my 3 year old
- To wear my wedding band again
- To wear a bathing suit in public, around friends and family
- To wear shorts again
- To wear all the clothes in my closet (sized 18 – 8) and beyond
- To enjoy food, not have a love/hate relationship with it
- To be sexy to my husband (though he says I already am)
- To NOT be the fat mom and embarrass my son
- To be in family pictures
- To be able to travel comfortably
- To ride a bike
- To not be self conscious
- To go to my 20 year high school reunion in a fabulous dress (2012)
- To avoid future obesity related health issues
So that is my list so far. I know I will add to it, but I hope to be checking these off one by one, as soon as possible!
And WOW! I have FOLLOWERS! That is amazing! Thank you all for taking the time to read and comment.
Great reasons! I know you will do well with these motivators in mind :)
