A New New Dawn

~hugs~ oh hun im so sorry you had to ender such a horrable night....
You will show them soon enough...and when your fit and healthy...you will have a strong heart....and help others through times like yu had to endor....
God love you......

Look at the healthy new you! The new tool you are being given can change these things to PAST and good reasons to go forward. The choices are in your hands and wishing you the best. Today is a new day. Needing an extension belt on a plane was a reality and not a happy one. It is PAST and will be for you. Follow your PRESENT and FUTURE, filled with hope and sunshine. TODAY is a new healthy day! GOD is so good!

Boy, those stupid ppl must think they're rocket scientist. They had no idea you didn't know you were heavy and felt the need to tell you. What asses! And to think they probably consider themselves adults.
Its really sad that society judges ppl by what they look like, instead of whats in their hearts.
I hope you stick with our chat board here b/c we have all heard these stupid remarks before.
You will find the support and understanding you need right here.

I tell my kids the reason why some people pick on others or hurt their feelings is because they feel badly about themselves and this helps them cope......but we are adults here and I can turn my mommy filter off and just simply say......SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST A**HOLES!! Don't let ignorant people like that slow you down. The only person that can truly make you happy is you and you will do fine!! Good luck to you!! :-)

Amy your post was simply heartbreaking. I am so incredibly sorry that you encountered such mean, nasty people. No one deserves that abuse.
Hang in there. ((hugs))

Oh Amy. That made me cry! People are so cruel. I myself am 16 sleeps away from getting my band inserted. I am only 23 and am Morbidly Obese. I hate it how people judge me as being a horrible person just because I am large. I am lucky in the sense that I have an amazing fiance who has never known me to be a slim person. My weight issues all began at the age of 9yrs when I was sexually abused by a male family member. Overeating so that I 'hide' myself from the world is all I have done since.
I am looking forward to closing my life book and starting a new one in 17 days time!

Everyone is right, people are just mean.
I am very proud of you for eating those cookies. See your day was not all hell.Your friends should have turned off the chat and /or stuck up for you but being that you are 21 they still need to grow up a bit. At 21 I don't know what I would have done about sticking up for someone.
Smile, one day you will be that thinner you and maybe help some over weight person in need.

amy i feel you and understand...catfish is right....yesterday is over...sure it hurts and it always will..but
use that hurt to your advantage...prove those negative thoughts you have wrong..you are gorgeous inside and out...
there are mean people in this world..i hate mean people..i believe strongly in what goes around..
i was nearly home bound for 2 yrs because i was ashamed to go out..i am still struggling to bring
myself out of that..if i can do it, at 336 when i started, so can you..every day is a new day...

"another reason im posting this is so maybe when im successful with my band that i can look back at this and not forget how horrible things are/were. also i have now decided if i ever date people again my test is going to be what they think of obese people.. if they have bad feedback. theyre out of here."
Hang in there and you will do JUST FINE! People can certainly be mean, sometimes to unknowingly to themselves.
Yesterday is over! Make today a better one and tomorrow will be even better. One day at a time.

You've done all the hard work. So glad you are feeling more confident and more comfortable....

I am in the Chicago area and have seen Ken's Steak House dressings in the aisles... I wondered where the name came from, lol.

Sounds like you have a great attitude as well! Best wishes to you!

well said.

And no one is going to be perfect 100% of the time; however, there are plenty that I am astounded by just don't care and don't want to put forth any effort and expect the band to do all the work. Sure it does a lot of the work but we have to do our part at least MOST of the time. The crappiest foods are the ones often that are the easiest to go down so we have to make that effort to choose wisely.
