5 Confessions (Join In)

I confess because my recovery was so easy I do understand why people consider this the easy way out.

I confess that I wear my hair with a part in the middle to hide the Hair loss on the edges.

I confess that I eat my kids Cheetos snack bag at least twice a week.

I confess my new fitness obsession is taking over and I am pretty sure it's addiction transfer because even when my body hurts I still work out.

I confess that I hate hearing about those who lose crazy weight with very little effort. If I didn't work out I wonder if I would lose at all. #onlyme.

[OneWritersSoul 353]

I confess that last night's confessions make me feel pathetic in the light of day.

I confess that I truly believe I went from binging/overeating to a different eating disorder. I'm OCD about my portions- so much so that when I can't physically measure bites on a scale, I obsess. I weigh every single day- morning and night. Sometimes in between. I keep the weights, every single thing I eat or drink, and BMs on a spreadsheet. I believe this keeps me honest and it helps me to hold myself accountable.

I confess that sometimes I miss being able to eat bigger portions. It's a head thing, because I physically have no room for an entire veggie sub from Subway, but I do miss it.

I confess that I feel like an idiot even thinking about dining out. All I can think about is the money that is being wasted, even if I take the leftovers home. I can't ever finish them before they go bad.

I confess that of all the foods I miss the most, cheese ravioli is it. Buca had the perfect ravioli with the perfect sauce and it was one of my comfort foods.

I confess that I miss Vodka a heck of a lot more than I should! The holidays are approaching and although I'm not a "drinker", I do get very "festive" at Christmas parades (spiked coffee!) and gatherings. This year no food no drink, I confess that I hope it doesn't suck too much! Ho-ho-hum!

[cherrybombknits 184]

* At two months out I feel way more normal than I thought I would.

* If I skip a workout I don't feel guilty, but I do feel "blech".

* I resent not being able to tolerate tomatoes and coffee.< /p>

* I thought I'd feel different at One-derland, but I totally don't.

* I have mixed feelings about all the compliments my family is laying on me.

Love this thread because my confessions are like many...

Confession 1... My biggest fear is that I did this surgery for nothing....I won't achieve my goal weight.

Confession 2....I compare my weight loss to others on here & I usually feel like a failure. I'm 19 lbs down since Nov. 6 & experiencing my first stall while many others are down so much more.

Confession 3... It's very hard to get all my Water & Protein in which is probably the reason for my stall.

Confession 4.... I've never been skinny in my adult life' date=' and I'm very excited!

Confession 5....I wish the next year would hurry up so I could see my progress.... I know that my fears were silly.[/quote']

I am only 13 pounds down since My surgery Nov 7th so when you compare just think of me and know it could be worse

[Piplula 709]

1) I confess that I do sneak junk food occasionally..not every day or every week..not sure it's sneaking though if you blatantly do it in front of people...and then feel guilty even though I continue to lose.

2) I confess I want to slap the hell out of people who say should you be eating that? Yes..I can eat a can of tuna..it's healthy fats and good protein..shut up..I have lost 118# pounds ..I think I know what I am doing.

3) I confess I would like to violently harm uninformed people who look at me and tell me I took the easy way out....REALLY??? Why don't you go get it done and see if its easy? Sigh..since I like to sleep at night..no one will be harmed.

4) I confess I used to think exercise was the equivalent of torture..but not so much anymore..

5) I confess that I used to care about sagging skin, but now I feel so good...I really don't give a dookey donk about it...I have some...I'll have the excess removed when it's time a couple of years post op.

You are only 3.5 weeks out and you've averaged well over 3.5 lbs a week. This is not a slow loss! If you think it's a slow loss, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. I would LOVE to be losing over 3.5 lbs a week.

[Mystie 146]

I'm still pre-op but I have confessions to make. I confess...

1. I compare myself to other people I know that had weight loss surgery. ("Oh so-and-so only lost 5lb pre-op and eats junk but still lost 70lbs in her first 6 months, so I know I'll lose at LEAST that!")

2. I'm nervous -- almost SCARED about potentially being non-plus size. The smallest I've ever been is a size 16 and I have no idea what a skinny me would even be like!

3. I've been taking better care of my skin now than I ever have in my entire life, but whenever I dry brush and see myself in the mirror I automatically think of an elephant getting cleaned with those big long brushes.

4. I worry my plus size friends will harbor a lot of jealousy towards me, but I worry even more that I'll start getting uppity about weighing less than them.

5. I have secret boards of Pinterest of all the whorish things I want to wear when I can shop at normal stores.

[Yasmine 109]

I CONFESS...

1- THAT I'M ONLY 4 WEEKS POST-OP AND I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE DUE TO MY FIRST STALL :-(

2- THAT I WISH I CAN FAST-FORWARD TIME TO SEE MY END RESULT O:-)<

3- I WEIGH MYSELF DAILY AT LEAST (2-3) TIMES... ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE A BM... I JUMP ON THE scale JUST HOPING MY LITTLE TERD ACTUALLY HELPED ME LOSE A POUND - TMI LOL :-D

4- I CAN'T WAIT TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND SEXY!!!

5- I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO FIT ON RIDES AT THEME PARKS...

OR DO I??

BONUS:

CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE CONFESSIONS :-)

[JoeyyMerc 9]

I confess, even tho I'm 14 days post op I'm craving a lot of Italian food.

I confess, that I'm scared I'm going to become some scumbag a*****e if i get skinny. I'm already cute and cocky, No bueno.

I confess, That it sucks being so young, I'm 18 and having such serious stresses like pre diabetes, high blood pressure, possible heart fallure to deal with.

I confess, I'm very alone with the whole process outside of VST, I skipped this next year my first year in college for this surgery and I'm hoping it's all worth it.

I confess, that even when i walk around with a smile on my face most of the time being nice and what not I'm truly not. I stress a lot and over think my self into depression.

One more, I confess that WHEN i am skinny I WILL NOT let myself get back to anywhere near the weight i am now. f**k that, I'll be sexy forever.

[selbradey 321]

[meg33 4]

I confess that i drink coffee. I confess for some strange reason i crave pepsi and i was not a big soda person before this. i confess that once a month i eat a snack size bag of dorritos and it scares me how easy it hoes down. i confess that four months ago this was the best decision i have ever made and i'm glad I did it. i confess that i did it for my girls so I wouldn't be "the fat mom". I confess that i love the way my husband looks at me. i confess i should drink more Water. i confess i should exercise more. i confess that when people tell me i should eat more i freak out these are also the people who told me i was too pretty to be fat. i confess that i don't have kind thoughts to all the haters! i confess i am more honest here then i am with my best friend. I confess that I can finally look in the mirror and somewhat like what I see. I confess I don't hide in the back of photos anymore. I confess that even though I've lost 70lbs and have 60 lbs to go I think I'm awesome and for the first time in a long time I'm proud of me.

Thank you all for this forum and letting me be me!
