Default next summer

so we went to the cottage this weekend and i didn't make it to the water. I hate this but our cottage is on a fairly steep hill and getting to and from the water is such a hard thing that i tend to opt out I love swimming, and want to float on an air mattress and swim with every body else but it takes so much out of me it just doesn't feel worth it. i got to feeling bad about this this weekend because Roo and i were up there alone and i know he would have spent more time at the doc and in the water if i'd have gone down more with him. I went once in the afternoon yesterday. I just wish that i could have gone down and up more than once. But it is so hard. I am so lucky that Roo is so patient about my wieght issues. We talked about it and i said just wait till next summer baby you'll get tired of me dragging you down there. I am so looking forward to going to the water without thinking of the effort it takes to get there and back. I can't wait to waterski and kneeboard and swim and be tanned good and dark from hours in the sun on the water. He has so much patience with what i can and can't do.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I know how you feel freebird, I am a water baby too. I love the water and try to take advantage of it every time I can. I feel like my weight holds me back too. By the time I get everything packed up and kids in tow I am so tired and just want to sit back down and rest. But listen Freebird, it will happen for us. Next summer we will look back on these posts and think, ya know we were right! This summer is the best!! NO worries!!!

MSmom; ok so i don't have children, (unless you count my two cats Marmaduke and Tinker and Roo, my 3boys) and i feel worn out when i've got just myself packed up and ready. i am going to the beach today if the sun decides to grace us with it's presence. I can park fairly close and it's not a long walk from the parking lot to the beach. Much easier than going up and down that hill at the cottage.

thanks friend. yes i am starting to get very impatient with the waiting for my surgery date, i will be calling them this morning before i go to the beach or tomorrow.

Aww big hug Freebird. I am understanding what you mean though. I am also a water baby... I love the feeling of being surrounded by water when I am floating. Next summer will be so much fun for you. You will be amazed by the difference.

Awww DEB i didnt look that good in my holding it all in swimsuit.
BUT good enough for my yard.

I will say even at my highest weight i had to wear swimsuits being
each summer i bring the daycare kids down to the lake. OF course
its a private beach here so I didnt feel uneasy. MOST of the times
when i go its all mommies anyway the men are out working. SO
i get thru it. NOW going to a public over crowed beach well
i got to work on that some.

HERES to our next seasons swim suit shopping!

hugzzz
