Can't Wait For It To All Come Together.

[Shrinking Tammy 15]

When I was a normal BMI, I was really young and didn't care about appearance. I was a tomboy who wanted to dress just like my brother. When I finally cared about a more feminine appearance, I was too fat to wear the things I really wanted from regular size stores. I made due with makeup, shoes, and handbags, but it got old after a while. When I was actually fit enough to do anything physical, I was not concerned. Now that I am aware of potential health risk that will eventually catch up with me, I am 323 pounds with low energy! I can wait for the days where I can be able to run in a marathon and then put on something fabulous in the same day!

Yeah I can understand that hang out here and read a lot. The more I learned of what to expect, the better I felt about all of it.

Hi...I too am a tomboy..even at 50. Now that I have had the surgery, I am trying to dress more feminine...If my sister has her way, she will die trying to get me in a dress....she is the girl in the family. My hubby is pretty sure it won't happen. If you are like me, I know you're not, but I had this wild idea that the pounds will fall of and I may have to fem up a bit. Hubby again..hopes this will happen but ain't holding his breath...LOL...

I started at 255 and knew with the health issues that run in the family, I needed to be proactive. Diabetes and heart disease.

You will be nervous..I almost ran out of the preop room at the hospital.

You will do fine and a whole new you will emerge with new ideas. Make this about you....
