I confess: that my biggest fear is not to lose the weight

I confess : that I haven't pushed past my failures yet (although I have lost 45 lb)

I confess: that I hated exercise but am not realizing that I can't succeed without it

1. I confess this thread makes me both laugh and feel sad in equal measure

2. I confess, I eat junk food and enjoy all 3 bites of it and then I am done til the next week. I dont deny my body anything anymore.

3. I confess even tho life is more challenging now, I love the person I have become over the last 11 months

4. I confess I am now a size 14/16 Aus (12/14 US) and am happy and comfortable at this size, if I never loose anymore weight or size I will be ok with it

5. I confess I have days when this journey is hard (physically and emotionally) but for everyone of those days I have 15 good ones....but really that is just life

6. Throwing in another one for good measure...I confess I drink alcohol and I like it too...life is about having everything in moderation.

I confess I want to have sex with someone other than my husband

I confess I will have another confession later

[MamaMelly 97]

I confess I know that is irrational.

I confess I miss food everyday.

I confess I'm both elated and frightened that I seem to have a sleeve of steel.

[Wolfgirl1978 256]

I confess that I miss smoking....a lot.

I confess I have dreams about over eating, and my sleeve bursting open and killing me.

I confess I feel lonely.

[CNTWT2BMINIME 78]

This thread is great! It makes me feel so normal. :-)

[goofycathy 89]

I confess that I haven't counted calories or Protein or anything else since surgery (9weeks ago) I focus on eating Protein and getting fluids in., but I have no idea exactly how muchim getting.

I confess that because of the first reason I'm pretty sure that is why I've only lost 34lbs. I'm extremely concerned that I will be here next year saying how much I regret the sleeve and all I've lost is 35lbs and $5500

I confess I have a cup of coffee with half and half every morning and at some point between my other fluids I have iced tea. I also use a straw when drinking it.

I confess that I've never been able to lose 34lbs on my own EVER, yet I still don't beliebe when people say they can tell I've lost weight. I'm convinced they are only saying that because they think I expect them to say it. I certainly can't see the loss so I'm sure they are lying about hat they see.

I confess that I'm extremely frustrated that when I had surgery I was wearing a size 24 pants and now, 34lbs later I'm barely into a 22, and it's a tight 22 at that.

I confess that out of 9 weeks, I've stalled twice, both times for almost ten days each, almost three weeks of not losing anything but confidence in this sleeve!

[sassypants 673]

i have one more to add hehe it’s a little mean!

I confess that I can’t wait for my mean mean nasty sister to see me smaller!

I have always been big my whole life and she bullied me (only person ever too) I mean name calling kicking me hitting me very very nasty mean human being.

She was always super skinny in the past 2 years she piled on weight and is a uk 20/22.

She has no idea I had the op never will (she doesn;t get told anything about my life by me or anyone in my family) she hardly comes by or to family things but when I do eventually see her which could be a year from now I know I am gonna be smaller and wayyyyyyy smaller than she has ever seen me and half my family can’t wait to see the look on her face when I am no longer the fat whale she used to call me and i am smaller than her.

I said it was mean but its also true and makes me meanly snicker at the thought lol

[lasuber 36]

I confess that I haven't exercised but twice.

I confess that I could eat an entire chocolate cake.

I confess that I want a diet coke soooo bad!

I confess that I don't sleep as much as I used to.

I confess I am tired of Water,

I confess that I am scared of being thin, even though I can't wait!

You will do just fine. Not sure if you have heard but after a significant amount of weight loss its easy to get pregnant....also I was a basket case before surgery and I am one of the fortunate ones that did not have any pain other than my first two days. Best Wishes

Thanks, Trcyprkr. I do know that it may be easier to get pregnant after weight loss. I'm more concerned with the permanent damage to my self esteem to ever want to date again. I haven't dated in years and I'm at the point where I don't want to be touched - or looked at, for that matter. I also confess that I fear never being in a significant relationship because I dislike my physical self so much. Probably TMI, but that's more along the lines of what I mean... I'm glad I'm not the only basket case out here!

Girl, you cut to my heart with this one! lol Growing up I always wanted multiple children but as I got older and realized how much work and energy goes into it I knew I couldn't handle it. I barely have enough energy to take care of myself. Furthermore, I knew at my (old) weight it would not be healthy to carry a child. The past few years I started telling everyone I didn't want kids. I think I started to believe it. Now I don't know what I want or believe but I'm letting the idea creep back into my head a little bit. It's scary, I know.

I've always said I don't want kids, when really i don't want A BABY. I like my sleep! I don't like the idea of trusting a babysitter with a child that can't talk to me and tell me if they're being taken care of properly. A kid, I'd love a kid. As I get older and have a closer bond with my mom, I kinda wish I had the same thing, a kid that would grow up to be an adult, having a hand at raising someone to be a productive member of society... I'd love THAT. But finding a man to marry? Getting married? Giving up my singledom? Giving up my living alonedom? Having a baby wake me up several times a night? No thanks! lol!

That said, the idea of not having a child (and factor in that I'm an only child myself), I get nervous thinking about what my life will be like after my parents are gone... it makes me incredibly sad to think about being alone.

I appreciate everyone letting me express myself here. It's therapeutic and so many of you are supportive and kind. Thank you so much!
