You will likely need time to get to know the real you. The weight before acted to repress you and so you may have never met the real you before. You will probably be a mixture of delighted and disgusted with the real you, so just keep that in mind.

In my past experience, when I lost a lot of weight I became more confident and quit putting up with bs.

Losing a lot of weight can be psycho-spiritually profound! Many people on this journey find out that they have become more them selves, not less. More confident, more comfortable, more welcome, more active, more brazen, bolder. The process of losing weight, can definitely change your perception. But the core of who you are, that will not change. If in the core of who you are you are badly hurt, or unhappy, that will still have to be addressed. If in the core of who you are, you are joyful and content, you might find out that you can hold even more joy and even more contentment once there is not so much weight between you your self and the rest of the world. There is nothing to worry about. It can be a beautiful and organic process, but it is a process of transformation so there are bound to be shifts in your perception.

I'm so glad for this post. I too have wondered the same thing but was too scared to mention it. I'm definitely one that has hidden behind my size for years. Not sure how I'm going to handle the attention, but one thing I am hoping to find is my backbone!!

kandiej got a reaction from Nycatt in People can be so rude.
I totally agree!!! Surgery is not the easy way out!!!! First you go through the pain then you go through the mental part. It's so hard not getting to eat what you want anymore. Dealing with your family eating what is considered good food when your eating healthy and a very tiny amount. Yes in the long run it is worth it, but it is far from easy!!!
