Comments From My Intervention

The comments from last night were "why do something that drastic, you aren't that big, my stomach sits in my lap too, you know it didn't work for our other friend, she's still big, you can just exercise and get the weight off, girl, that BMI chart is not made for black people, we are built differently, are you sure you want to do that?" All just silliness!!!!!!

 

I have been told that since I am tall I carry my weight well, but I am tired of carrying it!!! I am 5'9 and weight 302lbs. To me I am huge!!!! I am the size of football linebackers!!!! I carry my weight in my stomach and breast. I have very toned muscular legs. I can get in a size 14 but can't button them up. So I wear a size 22 to get around my stomach. Which leaves the pant legs WAY too big. So I am NOT proportion to me. I am extra excited to be one size one day soon.

 

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know it's not a train!!! Regardless of what people say or think. I am doing this for me. So when I look in the mirror I can see the WONDERFUL person that God created. I will no longer live in this prison of fat!!!! There is a life out there that I want to live and I am going to go out there and do it!!!!

Love your post!!!!! You go and you what is right for you. That is another reason why I did not share with friends. I rather concentrate on my journey, a posivtive one than those who disagree. Enjoy the ride God Bless!! :)

I agree with the comments. This was not an easy decision to make so for friends/family that want to comment, if it's not positive or they don't agree please keep that to self. I have enough going through my head that i don't need any extra BS. I understand the concern and get that they really care for us but as Dooter said, they don't have to live in your body.

I went to three (3) seminars before finally making the decision to go for it. Since I can't seem to exercise self control on my own, I'm going to use a tool that will help me with that....

Please don't listen to your friends and family on this. At your height and weight you are obese. I know friends and family don't want to see you hurt, and they are mostly scared that the surgery may hurt you. But your weight will ultimately hurt you in the end.

Your family loves you and are afraid of loosing you. Subconsiously they are trying to keep the family in a status quo which is harmful in the long run. You know what you need to do to have a more meaningful life. This body you are trapped in right now is not permanent. I hope you make the right choice for you and not for them. This is a doable thing. ;)

I'm sure your friends and family have your best interest at heart but like you said you have to do what's best for you. Everybody is different. You know how you want to feel and what you want to look like so why not go for it?! I say pray about it, talk it over with people you trust - ones that will support your decision, and then do what's best for you. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
