So. Let me in on the secret world of being thinner... I have never been there. What did you figure out? What are we pre ops missing out on?

I'm still loosing, but after an 80lb+ loss, what I notice most is how people treat you differently. People are nicer to me.

I have been thin before (and didn't know it & didn't realize it or see it in any way)...I am 5'10" and weighed between 150-160 for many years...but miserable thinking I had to weigh 115-125 lbs because of magazine models, tv, movies, society in general... so what I learned from being fat (300 + for many years) is this...I am ME, regardless...and I am awesome & always have been and didn't know it & now I do know it...so I have learned my weight is really meaningless...it is my reaction/thoughts/feelings about the weight that matters...wished it hadn't take wls for me to figure this out, but it did...
