When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.
I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

December 18th too!

Me too, Dec. 18th. :-)

I would just thank your family and friends for expressing their concern about you but tell them that you are working closely with your doctor to get you the healthiest you can be and that they should not be worried. Then change the subject. You won't change their minds and they won't change yours, which is OK since you are taking care of you, not them. Congratulations on your WL, by the way. Great job!

I started writing up a list of things that were worrying me about getting surgery and this came out. My wife was impressed enough she suggested I share it and it's probably what I'll put up on Facebook as a way of letting people know what I'm doing.
I'm scared I'll fail. I'm scared I'll go back to my old eating habits. I'm scared that my last chance won't work I'm scared because I don't know what being a normal weight is like. I'm scared I'll be judged for getting surgery I'm scared I'll miss food so much I'll get obese again I'm scared that I won't be able to keep up the changes I need to make over the long term. I'm sure if I don't do this I'll be dead by the time I'm 50 I'm sure I won't be the best dad I can be if I quit now I'm sure I won't be the best husband I can be if I quit now I'm sure if I don't do this nothing will change I'm sure I'll still be discriminated against if I don't do this I'm sure I'll still avoid friends and functions if I don't make a change I'm sure I'll still be ashamed of myself for letting things get this way I sure I'll never climb another mountain or hike through the bush if I stay as I am. I'm sure I'll keep missing out on a big part of life I'm sure I'll never do the things I want or have the adventures I've dreamed of if I keep on as I am I'm tired of being tired I'm tired of being afraid of others opinions because of how I look I'm tired of being in pain all the time I'm tired of letting what I weigh determine how I can live I'm tired of being the joke I'm tired of being a disappointment I'm tired of being judged I'm tired of making excuses I'm tired of lying to myself I'm tired of being obese. I can do this.

I. Am scheduled for June 3 with Dr Perez. I live in Fort Lauderdale
