Thanks for this post. I'm experiencing my own cold feet and frankly I'm shocked. I KNOW my surgeon since he pulled my stomach out of my chest cavity 2 years ago. I KNOW that my increasing weight is causing my health status and life satisfaction to decline. I KNOW that I hate feeling like I'm 87 when I'm only 46 and in the prime of my life. I KNOW this is the best decision I've made in a very long time but I did call my surgeon and reschedule my surgery from 4/4 to 4/11 and my feet aren't any warmer. I'm just thankful that I'm not alone. Looking forward to not having a small meal of pills to take twice a day is the one thing that's keeping me motivated.

Body shaming ain't cool. Period. Ever. Never. And I won't tolerate those who throw shade at someone who isn't up to their "level" of perceived physical perfection. I had a day y'all!
Even the fittest have rolls. Who cares? Focus on rollin' with your homies instead of your homies' rolls.
My stomach area stretched to unbelievable lengths to carry three humans full term, safely. My poor skin hung on for dear life as it was pushed to its elastic limits for 27 collective months and a lifetime eating disorder! I will absolutely never apologize for that nor will I apologize for how it looks when I sit down. And those stretch marks? Yeah. I love each and every one of them. They remind me of when I had super human powers because women are bad asses!
I exercise to be strong. And there's no amount of exercise that will get rid of rolls or extra skin when I sit or bend over and I'm ok with that. I'm not chasing unicorns here and I loooove unicorns!
So if you're grabbing your rolls and body-shaming yourSELF, stop it right now. Get in your own corner, honey, and tell yourself you are a badass! You've spent years putting yourself down and how is that working for ya? Try lifting yourself up the next chapter of your life and see if you feel any differently. I promise you will if you love yourself. And believe me, I assess you based on your innate character, ability to love, and how you treat others over how many rolls and extra skin you have adorning your BEAUTIFUL body.
If you're drawn to head to the gym to live a healthier life, do it because you LOVE your body...not because you hate it.
Love,
Me
PS. 35 more pounds to go!! Yay!

It is definitely a lifestyle change, you fall off the wagon sometimes but the key is to get back up. I continue to listen to my stomach when it is full I stop. I have zero regrets and have not experienced complications since. Very content with my results.
