1. I confess that I think about food way more than I should.

2. I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee on occasion

3. I confess that I have sucked on a tiny peice of chocolate and let it melt in my mouth because I'm on soft foods

4. I confes that I have cried until I can't cry anymore about how much I miss my old eating habits

5. I confess that I secretly am angry when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat....

I confess that I have been eating more than I should - but alot less than I would like

I confess that each morning I have one swig of diet pepsi - compared to to 12oz bottles before.

I confess that I drink vodka on the rocks with lemon so I can drink one more drink than if I drank it with club soda

I confess that I have not excersized on bit since my surgery - I joined the YMCA but have not utilized it.

Now I feel better becasue you don't judge me

I confess these confessions are awesome

1. I have started drinking regular coffee again.

2. I cannot stop weighing myself every chance I get. (I am in my first stall)

3. I have not been exercising as much as I need to.

4. I had a piece of chocolate.

5. I love being thinner than my sister-in-law.

I confess...

- I haven't been to the gym in a month.

- I have weighed myself everyday this week (normally only 1-2x a week) because I'm SSSOOO close to the century club!

- I get really irritated with some people's "holier than thou" preachy' date=' opinionated attitudes on this site which makes me not post for fear of judgment and ridicule. Why can't we just all get along???

- I'm really sad about getting rid of all of my clothes. All I see is wasted (because I have A LOT of clothes).

- I've only told a few close friends this... I plan on staying single during this journey so I can see what kind of "ass I can pull" and truly enjoy the attention I get! [/quote']

I hear you about the clothes. I took a small portion to a consignment shop to sell them. I get 50% of the sale.

1. I have started drinking regular coffee again.

2. I cannot stop weighing myself every chance I get. (I am in my first stall)

3. I have not been exercising as much as I need to.

4. I had a piece of chocolate.

5. I love being thinner than my sister-in-law.

I admit my confessions 1-3 overlap with you.

1. I drink coffee every day : expresso, latte or cappuccino.

2. I weigh just about every day. I take the stalls in stride. I take the + 1 or +2 in stride. I love the end of a stall when the scale drops 2-3 lbs, just had that happen 2 day ago after 6 day stall. Since 7-2, my stalls end up averaging about 5 days and occur at least 2 x a month. Again, I take them in stride.

3. I wanted to start a diligent exercise program a month ago with c25k and weight lifting, elliptical. However, I have been taking my dog on brisk hilly 3 mile walks every day (40-45 min). He loves it and I still am doing pretty good at 115 lb down.

4. I think about eating a nice meal from time to time. It passes pretty quickly.

5. I enjoy being thinner than my twin brother ( first time since grade school and he has also lost some weight during my journey so it is a moving target). It feels good to be an identical twin again and confuse people.

I confess: I am mainly having surgery because I'm embarrassed about my health. I miss being strong and having endurance. I hate being tired and winded long before I should be. My job is strenuous, I can't keep doing it if I don't get this weight off and my identity is too connected to what I do.

I confess: I have explained to my hubby how much stomach they are taking and how serious of an operation this is. I did warn him that this was going to take away my "pacifier", I will be a mess for awhile.

I confess: It breaks my heart to finally have extra money, thanks to paying off the house, and using it to self paying for weightloss surgery. And scared that despite secondary WLS insurance, something will happen and we will have additional bills from this.

I confess: I only told my co-workers (nurse) because they would ask why I was gone, I would tell half-truths and then I may need to come to my hospital for care and they would now know that I was not only fat but a liar.

I confess: I can't wait to do this! I am spending too much time hiding from life!

I LOVE your # 5... My SIL is even more obese then me, HOWEVER she is one of those people who thinks she is much smaller then what she is. And honestly for the 9 years I have been with my husband she ALWAYS finds something to critize me for... I am really looking forward to the first time she sees me (she lives 2 hours aways from me) after my surgery. Just the thought of the look on her face once I am at goal is motivating enough! LoL

*When I'm sick I still want a piece of sourdough toast with butter.

*I am eating things now (meat, dairy) that I would never had eaten on a "diet". Feels so decadent.

*Hubby works out 60 mins a day plus walks with me. I don't want to work out that much.

*I want to punch the skinny teenagers that titter at my aquarobics class right in the mouths.

*Deep down I still don't think the sleeve will "work".

I confess:

- I drink alcohol almost every weekend when I go out, even though my Dr. told me to wait a year. I did however, completely give up beer.

- I started with the caffiene again. Yet this time I am going with tea and one splenda rather than a venti nonfat latte.

- I had dumping syndrome twice and it was my own damn fault.

- I sometimes eat badly, i.e I will sneak a halloween candy or eat one slice of pizza

- My workouts are inconsistent. One week I will go 3-5 times and the next week 0-1

- I just started dating and I can't decide whether I want to disclose about my surgery up front or leave it a mystery

It's so funny to hear how people weren't exactly truthful in their psych eval. Let me tell you that as a therapist' date=' we know when someone's not being up front with us. The psych eval is a tool to assist in making a determination if there are other complications that might interfear with a person's health, e.g. major depression, or other mental illnesses. [/quote']

I was completely honest with my therapist, about the child abuse, the suicide attempts in high school, having breast cancer as a newlywed. Passed the eval with flying colors. She was just impressed that I was a functional human being.

I confess:

• I feel the best that I've felt in years.
  
• I like shopping for clothes now (and spend too much money doing so!).
  
• I sometimes miss the way I use to eat.
  
• That I don't always eat the most healthy foods and I'm still maintaining my loss.
  
• I don't exercise as much as should.
  
• I still drink Coke Zero.
  
• That I'm happy with the new me.
  
• Sometimes I still think I'm overweight.
  

*Deep down I still don't think the sleeve will "work".

Don't worry! It will work. I felt the SAME way.

I Confess;

Am afraid of screwing up my sleeve.

I can't wait till a look totally awesome and hot! Lol

I hope i don't become cunsidid and awful!!

I hope to finally live my life!!

Been over weight my whole life it controlled me!

Thanks for listening!

I confess that I'm afraid my young kids will see WLS as an easy way out and not to live happy and healthy lives.

You should eventually tell a person about your past but you don't have to DUMP everything out on the first date. No one would date if with overwhelmed each other on day 1. But if it get serious they need to accept you for who you are.
