Yes I'm the same way. Always the one's that are married or just looking for a booty call. Makes me sick. Leave me alone. Kinda sad how society makes heavy set people look..(lazy, jobless, always eating) where in many cases that isn't true.

I'm feeling alright. I go today to get my staples removed. It's one day at a time. ????

January 12th

Ever since I can remember I was fat. Childhood wasn't the easiest and going into my teens was a nightmare. I remember one of the girls in 8th grade asking me if I could fit through doors. When I got out of high school I didn't think to much of my weight. I would only do things that made me stay out of the spotlight. I got married and then divorced and in many other mentally abusive relationships. In my mind I thought I didn't deserve anything better because I was ashamed of myself.
After my mother died in 2008 of congestive heart disease it made me realize that I could die of that. I began the weight loss journey for a few years.I would lose 20-30lbs,exercise,etc. If I didn't see movement on the scales it would discourage me and gained all the weight back and more. My highest weight was 380lbs.
Last year I decided to look into gastric bypass surgery and see if my insurance could help me. I was sure I wanted to do this, always knew about it but never confident in myself to go through the process.
October of 2015 I took the first step and had everything completed on my end. My surgery was last Tuesday January 12,2016. I do say the pain has sucked but I'm looking forward to this journey ahead of me. ☺

How wonderful that you're discovering that you deserve better on all fronts. You'll find good support here at BP. It would also be a good idea to take part in your practice's support group. Given your history, have you considered therapy as well? Taking on super-major changes can be daunting from time to time despite the most positive attitude. Working with a therapist can go a long way.
Best wishes, Robyn.

Congratulations on making the decision that will save your life. You are soooo worth it! Good luck on your journey.
