Thought i would ask.... How many of you have LBT as your secret place? Meaning that you come here and talk to follow LB people and are able to speak your mind and not have to worry if someone you know will see.....

I do... my hubby don't know about the site and i love it that way... i can come here and say what i want and not have to worry about what people that "know" me will think...

Just curious Does your Husband/Wife know you come here...?

I don;t share my loss with anyone anymore. I don't need them to say, WOW what real fat f**k, Arlene was. I most likely will never share those numbers.

Oh Arlene...I just burst out laughing at that remark. Thanks!

I always call myself a FF, fat f**k. It is the joke in the family. My sons were at a Fool Fighter's concert and saw a hoodie with FF on the front. The cheapies didn't buy it for me. I would have worn it. There is a Jewish saying, I don;t know how to spell it, that means, large, huge, that's big etc. like that. I was once shopping with my mother and she was following me and said where are we going and I said to the __ __ department. She loved it and no one knew what I was talking about. I have always made fun of myself with those sayings. The FF is all mine.

My boyfriend whom I have lived with since 1998 (I've know him since 1988) knows I go on this site. He doesn't care to participate in it at all. My doctor would love for him to be banded but he was against me having the surgery but I live my own life, he's used to me by now. Anyway, he knows I'm on this site, so it's no secret to him. I enjoy LBT very much!

no not zaftig. That is actually the name of 2 restaurants in the Boston area. Their logo is a zaftig woman. Very cute picture. The phrase is, spelling doesn't count, kenna hurry.

Nope. kina hurra? sp? is when you're bragging or boasting and want to make sure not to invoke the evil eye. I must have heard my Nana say that phrase a million times.

thank you for the spelling. I always say it about large people, me included.I know it is rude but I feel we have all done it one time or another. I always said it about the amount of food my 2 sons always ate. So that is what I called the women's department in stores. My mother told me that would make a great plus size clothing store's name.

Well it's just me and my two daughters they have no desire regarding this site or any other website I get on. LOL This is my get away place to learn and help others as well on their journey. I have learned so much on here and I have to admit, I'M ADDICTED!!!!! hahahaha!!!!!

My hubby of 34 years knows that I get on this site to gain knowledge from long time banders. I thank and appreciate every post and blog that helps keep me in check with reality. To do this alone would not be as rewarding as reading other peoples post or looking at the success pictures. I love this site!!! No, he does not get on this site but if he ever wanted to I would have no problem with it. He is fortunite to have never had weight issues. Thanks for everyone taking the time to help new banders, you all have helped me tremendously!!!

Oh Arlene...I just burst out laughing at that remark. Thanks!

Me too. Couldn't agree more.

Hubby knows about this site, I too share some of my fav's with him. He is super glad I have this forum for support and has ZERO interest in coming on here.

Hubby did complain once... when I forgot to record the 1st LSU game of this season. ..... I know, horrible horrible mistake!!!! When he asked what distracted me, I was honest & said "was online reading what my peeps had to say on the LB forum"... lol

...... G. E. A. U. X. Tigers!!!!!!!

My husband knows I get on here and is glad I have the support. I don't go to a local support group but am so glad I have this site. I can get on when I cannot sleep or when I'm having a hard time. This is my place to be sad, happy, and vent. Always nice to know there are others in the same place I am.
