NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO:
Giving up white rice completely - For my friends that love sushi as much as I do, they will probably cringe at this first one. Yep, it's gonna be straight sashimi after I get the surgery. Reason being is white sticky rice will form a ball, one which will clog my stomach hole forcing me to throw up. Lovely, I know.
No more carbonated beverages - I love the bubblies. So much. Not just soda, but tonic water, spring water, champagne. All of it. I can have lightly carbonated beverages, but too much and it will cause my little pouchy to expand.
Extra doughy breads - Goodbye Savemart sourdough. You will always have a spot in my heart. But no longer in my stomach.
Lose skin - Self explanatory.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:
Having an otherwise rocking body - Nutella aside, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
Being more active - I miss so badly going kayaking, playing volleyball, rock climbing, dancing, and hiking. I was never crazy athletic, but I did enjoy doing somethings. And while I still can do some of those things, it's hard. Extremely hard. Wanna know? Next time you do any of those things, strap something that weighs 100lbs to you. Have fun.
Clothes shopping - Honestly, I like the way I look. And I like dressing up and feeling sexy. What I DON'T like is that there are a LOT of great boutiques that don't carry past a certain size. I want so badly to walk into a store, and know there is at least one of everything that I can wear. And not be limited to the ugly plus size isle. Which, by the way, just because I'm fat doesn't mean I'm dead and/or don't care about the way I look *note to plus size designers*.
So needless to say, I'm pumped. I'm ready to get going on this crazy adventure. And I'm excited to share it with you all.
