  1. You are in control of your journey... The only expectations you should be concerned with are your own!!!

    Yes, there are people who look to us for guidance and support because we are sleeved already, but I wouldn't put added pressure on myself.... One day at a time.... make a better decision if you need to... but, don't dwell on it... Be perfectly you!!!

    BTW, you're doing an awesome job!!


  2. Trust me, I understand!!! OMG!!! I had to fly to DC for a conference during the summer and WOW... I'll NEVER fly Southwest again for any reason (I hope!!)... It was thoroughly embarrassed and offended when the boarding agent attempted to make me purchase an extra seat on an almost empty flight!!! There were 40 people on a 757!!! REALLY??!!! The supervisor snapped on him!! I was horrified!! But, it made me see again how blatant discrimination against obese people is prevalent and tolerated in most cases...

    But, we are starting a new journey that will lead to greater and better days!!! Best wishes


  3. One of the things that make people hesitate in sharing is the lack of knowledge and understanding about the disease of obesity and food addiction...

    For every 1 supportive person in our lives, there may be 1 sometimes 2 who feel that obese people are lazy and lack will power.. I don't know 1 person who would welcome ridicule and disdain from people that they love.. Sometimes it comes from a place of fear, but most times, it's plain ignorance!!

    I've shared my decision w/ several people... One of my friends and one of my sisters are totally against it and I explained to them that I wasn't seeking agreement, approval or anything..I just wanted them to know what I was doing...


  4. So, take a deep breath.... and exhale!!! Since you recognize self-sabotage, you can do something to combat it!! You will be fine..

    Fear is a very powerful emotion that could paralyze you if you allow it to... You deserve a better and healthier life.. You deserve a great future... Even if you have to repeat this to yourself if you need to.. You deserve a great life!!!


  5. Awesome, awesome AWESOME!!! I will probably be sleeved in 4 months.. Not taking any chances, so I'm not being "social" and I'm also seeing an awesome therapist, since I don't know what it's like to be skinny, small or a normal weight!! I'm so excited for you and hope that you continue to share your journey with us!!
