So, I'm no skinny minnie, but I hope to be on that track soon! I certainly have ideas of stores I want to shop in when the time comes, like Hot Topic (for all their SUPER cute dresses and tops that don't reach a size XXL) and Wet Seal. I actually vowed never to set foot in Wet Seal ever again because all their clothes only went to a size like 10. And that depressed me. I *may* one day give it another shot.

I completely agree... I just feel like I'm going insane right now. I've just got to put a foot down and stay strong.

A little update: I haven't made a video update yet, but I thought I'd stop in and let you all know a bit about what's been going on. So, on Tuesday I attended my 2nd class for the month for my medically supervised weight loss. I am supposed to attend 1 class a week, every week, for 3 months. This would be great and all, except for the fact I have to pay 30-45$ every week in order to go. And I work during that time, so I have to wrangle those days off somehow. So it's been a bit stressful. I'm just doing my best and trying to get through these next 3 months without fail. Then hopefully I can send in my paperwork for approval from insurance. <3

You're right Suze. Some people definitely don't know how to word things properly even though they mean nothing but nice. But, some of the times, people are actually wording to be hurtful, and when that happens, I'm sure you know as well as I do that that sort of thing lingers, and sometimes leads to things like stress eating. :/

Oh!!! lucky you! My heart sank to the floor when I first discovered I Had to do supervised weight loss. I'm having a lot of stress issues at work, and I'm honestly not sure how much longer I can last there. So now, it's a battle whether or not I can stay at my job long enough for this 3 months to go by and for the surgery to actually get done (before anything happens and I lose my insurance). Since you don't have to worry about the supervised weight loss, I'm sure you'll be in and out in like a month or two! I definitely like the people in my class. I get to see and hear other people's stories, and hopefully have some surgery buddies when the time finally comes. On the other hand, all the assignments for my class are pretty time consuming.

Congrats! That's super exciting. I definitely felt more secure after going to the seminar. It put me in the right direction, now everything is falling into place. I have to complete my 3 months medically supervised weight loss (which in my case, is 1 class every week for 3 months). After that, i just have like 1 or 2 more things to do, and then I can send in my info for approval from my insurance..

This has been my story my entire life. The worst thing anyone ever said to me? An ex said "If you were skinny, you'd be too pretty for me." Implying that because I'm fat, I'm worthy of him, which makes me less important than a "skinny" person. He also said, if I were skinny I would no doubt be a model. SO many people have told me that, and it just makes me feel horrible. And ever notice how people are always like "Oh my gosh, you have such a gorgeous face!" and they never look at your body. Just your face. That hurts.

I'm 22 and have just started my 3 months of medically supervised weight loss that I need before sending in my request for approval. I hope everything goes great for you!

Well you can click the button on the bottom of the YouTube player that says something like "watch on YouYube" and it brings up the video on YouTube and you can click subscribe from there And it's called LaLa Lipsie.

Here's a link to my latest video update Just thought I'd share with everyone!

Well that's good! He sounds like quite the catch! The surgeon who spoke at the seminar I attended seemed wonderful, so I'm definitely going to be looking in to him further.

haven't gotten that far... hahaha

Oh, except for the fact the EKG showed some abnormality (that he's apparently not "too worried about", but I still need to meet with a cardiologist and have them further look in to it).

okay, update! Very excited. I went to my appointment today and finally got up the nerve to tell my doctor i've started the steps toward WLS. This whole time I thought he'd laugh in my face and I've been having serious anxiety issues related to this, but I got over it and just dove in. I was so happy when he immediately looked at my little folder the WLS seminar gave me, and started planning my appointments for everything I need done. In fact, he took a blood sample and had the EKG done right then and there! All I can do is sigh in relief. Now all I need is to attend all these crazy courses and do two or three other things, and I'm well on my way!
