nysweetest1 got a reaction from XYZXYZXYZ1955 in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
Surgery Date 12/21/15.
My sensitive feelings when people would choose not to sit next to me on the bus. To be with my girlfriends and know the cat calls are never for me. The way people make acrobatic moves to get out of my way like I'll break something if they brush against me. Feeling clumsy and heavy all the time. Like the only reason that I am so clumsy IS because I am so heavy. Everyone stopping for me while I stop to catch my breath (for what felt like an eternity) while walking on a hike that they felt was easy. Scared to do thrill rides with embarassment of being excused when I
can't fit or the ride wont lock. And then if i can do a thril ride, there is the fear that I'll be the exception and be the 'freak accident' and described as the overweight woman who should have known better when its told on the local news later that day. Sick of the yo yo changes in weight. And weight coming back with a vengance each time, worse than it left. Like a right third hip and growing back boobage.
But the last straws:
1. about to turn 40 next year.
2. diagnosed with diabetes early this year.
3. unable to wear cute shoes and boots due to foot pain.
I am on day #6 of the liquid pre-op diet. The gassy headaches have finally stopped. And its not so bad.
This has to work! Correction: I have to make it work.

Congrats everyone. Keep it up. I'm a 12/2016 sleever. Was a 22 & 2x/3x. I can wear a 16 now. But I too am still working on the mental adjustment. Everyone comments on how my face looks so different but I don't see it in my body. I'm glad at the progress but my mind hasn't caught up with the body and the number (pounds lost) . Weird. Lol. Will give it time.

Thank you for doing this vsgSarah23. You are very appreciated. I've done the Valentine's Day and Easter challenge. It helps motivate me to have to log in my weight weekly. Accountability. I understand that you don't have to take on this responsibility but you do. You are awesome.
