Am I really doing this? That was the question I kept asking myself today. Am I going to this consultation for bariatric surgery (that's something for obese people)? Am I going to post blogs on this site visited by obese people?.....Yes I am because as of today, that strange sounding being is ME!!! For soooooo long I was the big girl that had all these small friends who made excuses for why she didn't look like the other big people they saw (and sometimes made fun of). I was the token big friend that they genuinely enjoyed being around because I was sooo funny, always smiling, dressed nice, etc... So why when we go out to dinner, parties, hell the grocery store other people saw everyone in the group but the big girl? Of course, once i started talking and they got to see who I really was, they liked me...as a friend... Well I've got friends up to my wazoo...I need something more; I need a LIFE!!!!! So yes, after all of that I am really doing this!
