  1. I know what you mean. I get so excited and into the operation then every once in a while I step back and think WTH am I thinking. I am an overeater. I can't go without food. I know you can do it and so can I because of all of the examples of those who went before us and are happy/healthy in their lives because of it.
  2. Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I know I'm not the only one being made fun of but it really hurts when my kids are hearing it. BeanieandRosie'smom thanks for that. Your poor brother was terribly disfigured. I feel so sad for him. I hope it wasn't intentional that someone would do that to a 2 year old.
  3. I knew at some point my kids would be made fun of because of my weight. I just knew it would happen. Last week the kids came home saying that kids at school made fun of them because we "only eat fried food". We eat next to no fried food and the kids said so. The kids at school said that we do eat fried food that is why their mom is so fat I want this surgery over and done with like yesterday. I still have to wait until November/December.
  4. Some day I will be overweight too
  5. I was told that people who get wls look sickly and are less healthy than people who are fat (I don't agree). It made me sad to not be supported but what can I do. I gain more and more as each year passes. I don't want to see how much weight I can put on this body.
  6. How fun not to be recognized.
  7. You look great. Congrats.
  8. That is a ton of weight. Are you going to have anything left to lose?
  9. I'm so happy for you.
  10. I just spent a good amount of time copying her recipes this morning. Her site is great.
  11. I hope to be in your shoes next year. You look like someone that never had weight to lose.
  12. Can you start doing weight training? Walking doesn't do as much for building muscle as lifting weights.
  13. I have been told that any mention of weight gained or lost is rude. I don't agree
  14. Wohoo! One of the reasons I want the surgery is for confidence in getting a job.
