I totally understand. The process is so foreign to me. Now I have been told that not only do I have a "f*** off" sign on my forehead but I suffer from resting b*tch face. Awesome. And where I live there are no guys. Not single, sane, drug free and gainfully employed. Wth?!
As for those girls that want you as you are now, wait for the one that doesn't give a fig for your past but stays focused on being part of your future. What is for you, will NEVER pass you by.

Jam out with your clam out girl. I have learned that if someone can't accept me at my worst then they sure as hell don't deserve me at my best!!
Your confidence comes with time and self appreciation and love.

Here's a pic. I am very happy about my changes but there's sooo many reminders of my fatness.

Date whenever you want. If anyone you meet can't handle it then they're not for you. The way I see it, if they can't handle me at my worst then they sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. Booyah!! And I started dating someone 3 months ago. He accepts me for who I am and views my struggle and journey as a thing of strength and beauty. As should you and anyone else that wants to be in my life. Love yourself first and everyone else will follow.

Yeah well that's been my experience. Lol. I'm always too tall. Or the really short guys chase me. I'm not a tree to climb. Lol.

Yes unfortunately. And I have gone for a plastics quote. It would be done in 2 parts. First ($14k) would be the Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation with mastopexy (implants and lift). The second surgery (also $14k) would by my arm and thigh lift.
I look great in clothes. In fact I've been told on several occasions by various men and women (some friends or acquaintances but more by complete strangers) that I am smoking hot. Does wonders for the ego but deep down I think: Yeah ok. You haven't seen my flying squirrel impression. Lol.
It is what it is. I will take the skin over the obesity any day. Don't worry though. To the right person it's not going to matter. They will see the effort behind your actions. Not the skin. *HUGS*

That's very true. And wouldn't that hurt or bother any of us? We have all busted butt to lose weight and look good and feel good. While compliments have always made me uncomfortable. I still feel good inside when I get them.

Had my surgery 11/20/12 and was 315 the day of surgery. Most people don't believe me because I am 6' tall. I carried my weight well, but at the end of the day I was morbidly obese.
I did get down to my lowest of 175 but that was short lived. Insert a bad relationship, holidays and a breakup and you have an increase up to 185-190. I am over it. And it is waaaay too close to 200 for my taste.
That allll being said. I need help from my fellow veterans. What are you all doing to get to target and maintain? I need some guidance and I'm not afraid to try new things. I had to stop Crossfit due to an injury that is finally appearing to have healed. I would dearly love to hear as much as I can from you guys. I may not post as much but I do read what you guys share.
Oh by the way, I also am experiencing reactive hypoglycemia and I'm trying to address that as well. Thanks in advance!!!!!

I am incredibly sorry for your loss.

My sunrises here in Florida. Eat your heart out!!

Ok here's a better update. Down 130 from surgery on 11/20/12.

And did I mention its totally permissible to fart and its even encouraged. Walk, walk, walk. You need to get the gas out of your body. It can take up to a month for some to get the gas out. And I'm telling you I can feel it in my upper shoulders today and I'm 6 days out. Gas is no joke.

I go it at a health food store, but Walgreens carries it and most grocery stores. It's in the organic aisle usually. But really any laxative tea that is made from senna leaf is pretty much the same thing. I prefer a more natural approach rather than more meds. And mine worked. I've gone twice today. I'm getting back to my normal.

I'm 4 days post op and last night was the first night that I pretty much slept through the night. I woke up once at like 4 but I did sleep from 9-6:15. It's hard to sleep but it's getting more manageable. The best advice I can give is ride it out as best as you can. Ad if you haven't pooped yet...try Smooth Move tea. Omg it was a Godsend! That is a huge part of the battle with the gas. Get that flowing and it goes a long way towards helping you feel so much better.
