Does anyone feel like they are the "fatest" one in your family?



Recommended Posts

I am absolutely the largest person in my family and my husband is the largest in his. Sometimes I feel like we don't belong, though it's all in my head because they look at us and just see us. (We have both been big since very early childhood.) At my SIL house, my husband and I essentially have to take turns sitting down because they only have one chair that is not 'iffy'! (they buy everything at Ikea so it's hit and miss. Lately its all MISS!) Hopefully not for long!!

It's not that I just feel that way.. It's fact. I've always been the fattest by far....Weird thing is now that I'm losing so fast I'm afraid that I'll get thinner than my younger sister, I'll call her sister number 1. There are four of us and she was always the second smallest.. sister number 2 recently lost a lot of weight and got smaller than sister number 1 and now with me losing, I don't want my sister number 1 to be left behind. I'm only 10 pounds heavier than her now and I think it will be really uncomfortable for both of us if I got thinner than her.

I live in a different state and sister number2 says sister1 has been losing a bit lately. I just don't want to come back and be smaller than her.. I'd love for us all to get smaller together.

I am by far the fattest in my family. My dad and brother have never been overweight a day in their lives. My mom has been overweight, but probably 180 max. Her frame is a lot smaller than mine, but she's definitely not obese.

All my friends are thin, same with co-workers. I pretty much always feel (am) the fattest in the room. Can't wait for that to go away!!!

My oldest goes to a high school on the pricier side of town. Every mom spends her day at the club "playing tennis" (aka drinking martinis),"working out" with her "personal trainer" (aka getting a massage), or doing volunteer "work" (aka lunching with friends). I am the only one that does not show up at school with a perfectly even spray tan, in a tennis skirt or a the perfect yoga outfit and/or heels.

I am definitely the fat mom.

I cannot WAIT for school to start in September. My Mexican/Italian heritage is SURE to beat their tan in a can and while I still might not be their size, I have no doubt that I will be much closer. Right now they are very nice to me for the most part, but you can definitely tell they think fat is contagious.

My back to school wardrobe is going to rock!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
