You obviously didn't understand the question.

I think she did and she gave a pretty good reply.

There isn't a twenty-something alive that has the life experience of a sixty year old.

You may have the stress; aches and pain but not the life experience.

I don't know anyone who would survive an hour in my shoes, much less lived my life the last 29 years.

What if you're 29 but have the life experience of a 60 year old, where do you post?

You wait until you are 60 then look back all those years to when you were 29 and say to yourself, "I didn't know half of what I thought I knew."

I'm talking about life experience. My life experience is very well beyond 29, so hop off.

The things you went through dont make you age it just makes you wiser then another person who never delt with the same problems you had.

You never had to experience slavery, you never had to experience the feeling of not being able to vote because you are women... so on and so fourth

I bet you couldn't walk in the shoes of a holocaust survivor, I know I can not

I don't know anyone who would survive an hour in my shoes, much less lived my life the last 29 years.

I can't think of anyone I know with the life experience of someone in their 60s (and I know many) who would respond like that.

Life experience does make a hugh difference. Only those who have lived a sheltered life would say it didn't. Some are way beyound their years. You never know what someone has had to face and deal with, Some 20yr olds have had to grow up very fast. I myself was married off at 15 and had my first child at 17, and by the time I was 21 I found myself with 3 children divorced. Supporting them on my own(no welfare, no chld supp) working and going to school so trust me when I say I was way beyond my young years. Remember, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Yup this is what a 60 yr old acts likes. Imagine all the old(er) people in the world giving the finger and texting:thumbup: lol

Im sorry if you feel offended but you cant say you are 60 yrs old in the mind but say teenager things

Some people did not agree with me on my views (like yourself) but i didnt say f.u bye so maybe if I use your same logic then well...... guess what i have more experience and maturity then a 29 yr old like yourself :thumbup:

But I do not agree with that logic so i guess im stuck being 23:blink:

:tt1:

Middle finger you and good bye.

Why do ya'll keep saying that? Ya'll are taking it out of context. I would think you could figure it out.

I have no problem figuring it out. I too was married at the age of 15 and had a baby at 17. The problem is the arrogance.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
