This road trip is not going to be easy so I thought I share my 10 things with you so you don't get annoyed with me when I start posting swim suit pics of myself when I reach my goal weight. 😁😁😁
Some of the things I'm really looking forward to on this journey may seem like pretty simple things to the average sized person but these are my daily struggles. Simple or not, I know that once I'm able to do these 10 things I will be well on my way to reaching my goal.
1. Going up stairs without having to catch my breathe.
I remember at our previous offices I use to stand outside our office door for a few seconds so I could breathe. I didn't have a problem playing it cool until I reached my office which was through reception but the only problem was if everyone was there. It's pretty hard trying to say hello and have a conversation about the traffic whilst trying to breathe at the same time.
2. Side swiping shoes and socks
Some plus sized people have flat/ small tummies unfortunately that's not me. I have a bulging belly meaning having to put on shoes with buckles or laces means I have to put my leg on a couch and tire em up, that really sucks. So can I just lean forward rather than sideways.
3. Wearing Jeans or any pants that have a button.
Another belly chore is having to wear elastic everything. I love jeans but they never get past my lower belly so I stopped buying em. The immediate alternative is leggings and elastic pants and I'm so over them.
4. Buying (NICE) lingerie
I walked into a retail store in December looking for underwear and was so disappointed to see the difference in variety for plus sized woman. I looked ahead of me and the average size options where more appealing to the plus size options. I mean I'm talking lots of colors, designs and patterns. Then behind all that wonderland stuff was all these dull colored pieces of material and I was like "are these people serious"? So I can't wait to fall in love with the item then find me size and buy it instead of look for my size, decide if I like it and buy it.
5. Sitting like a lady
Can I just sit like a lady from my thighs down and not just my leg, without breaking a sweat!!!? It's almost impossible, my body shuts down. Cramps, aching muscles and a pain in my back because everything in my body is trying to stay put. Plus when I get to this point my bible bag won't slip of my thighs at church. Haai ngeke sbale. (Hut damn) [sp].
6. Packing light
I always find it amusing when average sized people ask why I packed my whole wardrobe. Like? Girl have you met me? My one outfit fabric can make 3 outfits of your skinny ass, so sit down.
7. Shopping
Going shopping is one of those things for me. I never plan to go shopping because I end up so disappointed. If I find something in my size I buy the same thing in different colors, that's so whack. Don't get me start on online shopping, I am the boss of window shopping online.
8. Flying
Ok I'm not a flight risk but I always have to worry about flight seat belts in small planes. Yes they are adjustable BUT adjusting the belt right up to the end is embarrassing.
9. Eating in my car
I know it's bad but I always forget to eat so I'll drag something on my way home. On route I always get called out by taxi drivers for eating to much, like? Excuse me I'm trying not to die of hunger. I feel like if I was average size they would say "agh shame she must me hungry". Im sure the next person that sits on my seat is like "hut damn, the person sitting here before me must of been preggies"
10. Wearing a two piece swim suit
I have enough swimming costumes BUT can I just wear a bikini. This has always been my main reason for getting slim. I live inland so a vaycay for me is anyplace with a beach. On some Bay Watch vibe. lol
To most people reading this, it may seem like small things but for a big girl like me these are examples for little big things.
