I look forward to the day that:

I don't sweat when the temperature is over 70 degrees

I no longer have to shop in the PLUS size department

The insides of my thighs don't chafe because of my fat legs rubbing together

when I walk

I can wear clothes with a waistline instead of clothes that look like

maternity blouses

I can wear a bathing suit without being embarassed

I don't cringe when I have to weigh in at the doctor's office

A seat belt isn't uncomfortable

I can easily cross my legs

I can walk up the stairs without being out of breath

I can shop without being embarassed if I put something fattening in my cart

My driver's license states that my weight is under 200 lbs.

I can see every part of my body (even those now obstructed by fat)

I have a lap that the kids can sit in

The day insurance approves me

The day I have surgery

And hopefully the day I meet each and every one of you.

One can only dream

Hi Janice,

Thanks for that list, it gave me an idea. Someone suggested making your

insurance appeal letter VERY personal (it certainly worked for my daughter,

Chris) and I think your list (modified to fit me) will be a great way to end

my letter!

By the way, to those who feel that their online info is taking too long, I

just contacted Debbie and found out that my info was only partially sent! (I

freely admit to being a computer idiot!) Today I sent " the rest of the

story " ........and thanks to those of you who suggested that we follow up. I

did learn, however, that once you hit the send button, the computer will not

accept a subsequent online form from you.

Do you see why I am so thankful for the support of this group of friends?

Regards,

Debbie in IL

Cigna approved on 3rd appeal for daughter (BMI 45)

Counting on Cigna for Debbie (BMI 40)--correct online info sent today!

Janice,

What a great dream. Now, it's time for reality and I believe you will get to

that day. Be encouraged and KNOW.
