I am loving my membership at Low Carb Friends (LCF) so far I have to say this has been the best membership in terms of support that I have found. I recently posted on this blog as well as on my journal on LCF how there are things that I miss that I WILL do again.
There is a friend on LCF who is such an amazing inspiration to me. She has lost a ton of weight and I feel she definitely understands the place I am in now mentally and emotionally. Here was her response to my posting which I now have to totally add to my list as well, with only 1 modification.
My additions are as follows:
- Not being able to fit in a booth at a restaurant
- People asking when the baby is due!
- Asking for a seat extender on an airplane
- Fitting in an airplane bathroom
- Being able to walk all over NYC and shop without worrying when my legs and feet would hurt
- Running
- Jumping
- Wondering if a plastic lawn chair would hold my fat butt
- Being too fat to ride the dolphin at the swim with the dolphins in Mexico that I paid $150 to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Not being able to haul myself up on a catamaran in the Caribbean! And needing 4 little guys to heave to pull me in!
- Finding out I was not a jellyfish but I have bones, actual bones!!!- I could never feel them before! That is the most exciting thing, laying in bed and saying what is this bone or this muscle? LOL
- Not being able to sleep on an air mattress
- Shopping only at Lane Giant and Avenue, I will never set foot in those 2 stores again!!!!!!!
- Watching football and they talked about a 300 pound big bruiser and I thought I wish I was as big as him
All of these things are going to become a part of my past beginning tomorrow. Because I'm going to do everything I can to change my future.
- Having to purchase two seats on an airplane or having the fear that they will make me get off because I am too heavy.
- Never using an airplane or bus restroom.
- Bringing my own chair to my friends for the fear that I make break theirs (It has happened)
