Yesterday's Thoughts

By SweetTee

· 557 views

With yesterday being the 4th of July naturally my husband and kids were overly excited about going to watch the firework show, I on the other hand was far less enthusiastic. When getting ready (as usual) this overwhelming sense of disgust and depression takes over me. Nothing fits, nothing looks or feels right. I feel so out of place in large crowds. I'm not a shy person at all and I remember the time I use to enjoy crowds. I cheered in high school and college for a min. I loved crowds! The thing is when my attitude sucks I don't think I'm pleasant to be around. Who else has felt this way? And it seems as though the closer I get to picking a surgery day, the more I realize (or rather the more I begin to admit to myself) that my weight is way out of control!

    I get that feeling... I am approved for surgery, but still on the waiting list... I thought when I began this process, that by now - July - I would have already had the surgery and there would be far 'less of me'... With summer being unbearably hot... nothing fits, and I refuse to buy more 'fat clothes'... I am trying hard NOT to give into depression and EAT. Ya know? :o(

    I know that feeling! I also refuse to continue to buy even bigger and bigger sizes. I'm glad to hear you are approved for surgery. I did not realize that they would place you on a waiting list. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover any weight loss procedures, so I have to self pay. Well either way, at least I'm doing something that's for the better of my health. I can hardly wait!

    I stayed in yesterday as well. My husband asked me to meet him to see the fireworks but i declined because it takes forever to get dressed beacuse I gotta tuck everything from my boobs to my stomach! Being fat really sucks so much right now!! I wish my area had a clothes swap group for pre-surgery folks cuz i sure aint about to buy anymore either.
