Default A list of things I CAN and CAN"T do
I can walk a mile on my treadmill without sweating!
I can't wear size 2x anymore.

I can run up my stairs without breathing heavy.
I can't ring the airplane buzzer and ask for a seatbelt extender.

I can say no thanks to soda, sweets and sugary items without feeling deprived.
I can't go to the dr. every 3 months for A1C sugar and pre diabetes because I am in the normal range now!

I can do things I thought I couldn't do anymore.
I can't tell my husband I don't want to walk around the block anymore...because I can.

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 can't lose a significant amount of weight any more.
I can maintain the loss I've already had (and have for over 3 years!)

I can't eat sugar.
I can eat so many other wonderful things I don't miss it!

I can't say my wife is fat any more.
I can wrap my arms all the way around her with a pretty good overlap in a hug!

We can't find a downside to both of us having had WLS.
We can enjoy a million and one things that were denied us by our obesity!

Next??

I can't sit on the couch for hours and lick peanut butter from a spoon until the jar is empty (and don't want to).
I can run.

I can't go to a buffet and gorge until I feel sick and have to unbutton my pants (and I don't want to).
I can control my food intake.

I can't wear anything with a X or a 2 (20,22,24) in front of it (and I don't want to).
I can wear some mediums and larges...and a size 16!

I can't sit at home anymore while my husband and son go to Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens (and I don't want to).
I can go with them and walk all day and fit on rides! I was excited to go to Christmas Town with them this year at Busch Gardens!!

I can't embarrass my 13 year old and my husband with my weight anymore (and I don't want to).
I can make them proud...like the day I was jogging and my sons friends getting off the bus didn't recognize me. He was proud to say "that's my mom!" And this past Sunday my husband helped me pick out clothes because his friends from work were coming over and he wanted me "to look hot!" LOL...his words!
