I'll go first...
As a divorcee who shares custody with my ex-hubby, I have found myself not wanting to meet in public places but rather just send the boys out to his car at the curb. My ex is 6'5" and 300 lbs so it's not like I have anything to prove and I am not any heavier than I was when we were married BUT he is about to marry his 3rd wife and she is thinner than I am - I have never met her only seen a picture. She is no beauty but I do find myself challenged that she is thinner than me. I know it's petty. I am usually pretty confident in most situations but I have had a wicked fantasy about being at goal weight and waltzing into a place dressed to the nine's. As I write this I feel like a high schooler but part of getting better is shining light on the dark corners and owning how one feels. So I would like to leave my ex drooling and his new wife in shock as I leave with holding hands with my two boys and their new 30 year old, model beautiful, built to high heaven step-daddy. There I've said it! PLEASE SHARE YOURS!!

I would like to weigh 145 pounds, have a perfect flat tummy with perky breasts, round ass and hair flowing down my back. I want to be walking down the beach with a new love in daisy duke shorts with a tank top on while my ex-husband (who bought me a pig once and made some oinking noises telling me that I reminded him of a their species) is standing with his latest bimbo longing to be with me again. Actually, he did me a favor by cheating on me so maybe I dont want him wanting me again.

I think I have told just about everyone I know. I have gotten positive and negative responses. I have alot of overweight friends that have not been supportive and they say I'm taking the easy way out and i should do it with diet and exercise. Everyone in my office has constantly counting calories and points for years, they should all be rail thin and they are all still overweight. I guarantee when they see my success they will be climbing onboard.
I want to be able to share my experience and knowledge with others and offer them hope. I can't do that if I keep my surgery a secret.
