    I was in a department store looking at costume jewelry.

    I overheard two women, early twenties, talking to each other. The one said to her friend, "If I was as fat as her, I'd kill myself."

    It was so hurtful. Never knew how cruel people could be right to another person's face - at least not since middle school.

    I felt sub-human.

    wow I'm so sorry for you having to hear that!!! How cruel!!!

    Thanks so much! I know my dr said between 8 and 14 lbs shld come off a month I'm loosing around 25 a month but I went back to work 3 days post op and I'm constantly on the go from like 530 am till 10 pm. As I run a daycare and have three kids of my own. and I do a half hr cardio a day and lift weights and sit ups 5 times a week. I got to the dr again soon I'm hoping it's okay that I'm loosing more then they want. But I'm getting in my Protein and my fluids and getting about 800 calories a day. Which they told me between 6&8 hundred. I have so much more energy. And feel amazing!!!

    Do you have the Bariatric Patient card? If not, you should get one and keep it with you whenever you dine out. I've never been told I can't order from the kids menu or pay the kids price at a buffet.

    old country buffet would not except this. Nor would they let me sit there with my family without paying the full adult price. Rediculous I wrote the company and am waiting on a reply.

    At this point I think I've been through most template shoes since I had surgery a couple days before Thanksgiving I had Thanksgiving dinner New Year's dinner Christmas dinner Christmas parties baking Christmas Cookies my kids eaten junk in front of me and my husband who refuses to change his diet etc. and once in a while I may get an ounce or two of jealousy but I don't feel tempted at all because I feel how much healthier I feel inside and out not only that but needless to say you know I changed my cooking and so many ways that is healthier and he still eats it and he is down 10 pounds without having surgery. Lol. So trick is on him. No my kids they have a hard time putting weight on lol.

    A few months back I would have went to the grocery store and had atleast 30% junk. A few months ago I would have went through about 24 sticks of butter cooking and eating with a family of five. I would never look at nutrition facts ever!!! I didn't care what I cooked or how I cooked it. I realized last night when I went grocery shopping that I only bought three things that were snack unhealthy foods and they were for our kids it used to be way more then that and for me as well. Last night it was more shrimp and meats ,turkey bites, tuna ,cauliflower ,broccoli, cucumbers, all healthy foods. And for the first time today I realized I don't even miss the sweets anymore. I made it through the entire holiday season not one cookie or cake or pie and I'm proud bc while everyone else gained the weight through the holidays, I shedded the pounds!!! I went through a couple weeks of regret bc everything would make me so sick when I went to regular foods but I went back to shakes for awhile then tried again and then I was fine. I watched my family eat and it really sucked I'm not going to lie but I also know I did this for a reason and wasn't giving in. It just took me realizing last night how much in just a couple months my life has changed drastically, and the healthier choices I make now and how much I focus on nutrition facts before I purchase anything. Shopping last night opened my eyes to my poor choices in life!!

    I thought it was funny and I too have been married a long time with three kids and I have found a lot of people on here do have kids. I don't think anyone was in competition. It was a light hearted joke. I care that someone has a sense of humor thru the holidays to brighten people's days !!!
