No one asks me anything. Resting B$#%^ Face for the win.
I talk about healthy eating, but I don't talk about the physical stuff with people at all. Most people are clueless about nutrition so after like 3 sentences they have zoned out anyway.

I agree with the both of ladies! I am starting to think I need to start working on my mental part. Overall I came so far and a lot of the time I forget that. I honestly feel by not doing support early on kinda made me lose focus!

You are so right on so many things in this post. I know I need counseling and am soon to seek it so that I will have tools to deal with everything that's happened to me in my youth n my marriage. I just feel so empty all the time and I don't want that in my life. I am blessed in so many aspects I know but I just hurt for so many reasons. I just told my husband today I don't wanna do this anymore and he looked at me like whatever and I know I have said it before but I am truly done. I don't wanna do this anymore and I am going to file for divorce. I feel guilt about it because I feel my kids will be mad at me because they don't know what I have gone through all these years or maybe they do know some of it. But I can bear no more. My spirit is tired.
I am so happy I have this forum as an outlet and for support. I really have no one else due to he has driven all my friends away . I thank you so much for your advice.

The more notifications I get with additions to this post the sadder I get. A lot of you are in relationships with straight up no question emotionally (at the very least) abusive men. I hope you are able to break free. You deserve better.

I was sleeved 4/18 and I can totally relate to your experience of people eating around you. I just had family in for the weekend for my daughter's birthday and there was all sorts of food. And I had some serious regret!! But then I realized it is more the emotional connection of my brain to food with these experiences. I tried to go back to remembering why I did what I did... I still have moments where I miss my binge sessions, but then I remember I did this so that I could no longer have binge sessions! It's a transformation of body and mind for sure!

I was also a sugar addict, but after surgery - everything tastes too sweet to me. Even the sugar-free Jello and pudding tasted sweet. I never thought I'd be able to conquer my sweet tooth, but the surgery has definitely helped.

You look fantastic! Love the redder hair too!

I was suffering. I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean. I could not really do to much of anything. I was in pain all the time and I was afraid to sleep because of my sleep apnea. After 8-9 years of research and many sad attempts at dieting, I said that's enough. I wanted a life I could actually live. For my daughter and myself I went for it and there is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful. Is it easy? Heck no. But I have made some amazing life changes that saved my life! Oh how I wish I had done it sooner. My story really isn't very different from anybody else's here but that's what makes it extra cool I'm part of the losing team and I love it

Girl you are so strong! That example wasn't specific to you, but also as you pointed out, your core life beliefs due to prior traumas (at no fault of your own!) still left you vulnerable to predatory people. I kind of see it as little pre-drilled holes in your overall psyche and abusive people will plug right into any perceived weakness they can find.

It is NOT your fault.

Abusive men prey on women with low self esteem and insecurities. Overweight women can be a very easy target.

Are you saying I'm still a maniac? Lol jk, I know I am. I'm very up and down and anxious. Will try to relax.

I haven't seen this girl in so long it amazes me still that with this tool I have been successful with it unlike every other weight loss diet and trend I had used since the age of 15. This picture on the left was me two days ago and the picture on the right was about two years ago. I use to play roller derby and with my size back then I had a hard time just skating in a circle. I feel amazing now and can't wait to try skating again. I couldn't imagine being where I am now if I didn't have gastric bypass. This tool works and I'm so happy I did this to better my life. Yes I do have these cheat days and I tend to slip a little bit I find myself acknowledging it and getting back on track. This definitely is a life changer and it's a slow process to change but I am doing it and I know better now then I did when I was 350 pounds.

I am down 70 lbs. Had the Gastric Sleeve done by Dr. Quiones 2/15/2017. Here's a before and after.

Lorna, you are thinking too much. Chill and relax your energy is all over the place. Being afraid of the unknown will lead you to a far place that has no tunnel. Guide your body like it's a light shift ahead when necessary but fix it on something showstopping. You can do just relax o.k.

Welcome to the forums and I'm wishing you nothing but the very best.
I don't have advice but can share I struggled with food addiction and then realized the reason I thought I ate was for a myriad of reasons, from boredom to even happiness. I've done just about every diet known to man, each time gaining more when I couldn't stay on the plan. But after a lot of hard work I feel it got much better.
And still, I feel like you do sometimes , hoping this will really help. I also had paloric stenosis, so it feels like my stomach has had it in for me since the beginning.
The only thing I can say is maybe plan for any cravings with healthy alternatives. Take it one day at a time and don't be hard on yourself when accidents happen. Chill [emoji4]
I'm really pulling for you! Here's to a new beginning and many blessings for your journey.

I'm going to agree in the gentlest way possible that you've made this entirely about yourself instead of his wellness and you sound incredibly selfish.

You look great. Kill him in his sleep. (Not really but yeah he's being a ******.)

Just wanted to say welcome to the forums. I have my last my last NUT appt in June, hoping for an August surgery. Loved to stay in touch and support each other.

The more notifications I get with additions to this post the sadder I get. A lot of you are in relationships with straight up no question emotionally (at the very least) abusive men. I hope you are able to break free. You deserve better.

I do accept some responsibility in this because a lot of stuff I accepted , I shouldn't have and that's y its gotten to this point as of now. I never try to play victim at all just share my experiences. But I do know I don't deserve to be treated how he is treating me . As I said before I'm broken but not shattered. I will be ok. Thanks Lorna 😊
