I have to laugh. She is so self involved that she thinks that *I* think she is fat.

Uh. Yeah. Truth is I don't care. I just don't think about anyone else's weight but mine. Even DH's weight doesn't concern me.

Whenever she goes on about thin people being ugly, and unattractive I think of this;

Æsop. (Sixth century B.C.) Fables.

The Harvard Classics. 1909–14.

The Fox and the Grapes

ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”

“IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.”

but I found what you all are talking about. I think.

Laurend-I hadnt been on here for awhile, your numbers are looking good!

I am at a standstill, and went to get another fill 3-31. Now I have next to no restriction, I feel like I am sliding down hill backwards here. I wonder if he took some accidently instead of putting some in? Does that happen very often?

Thanks!

I don't want to scare you, but if you had restriction before you went for the fill, you should have more restriction now. With a sudden lack of restriction, I'd worry about a slip. Definitely call your doctor and have them check you out. They may have made a mistake when they were giving you the fill, but you definitely want to check and make sure that nothing else is going on.

It makes perfect sense if she is displaying Anorexic behavior. And a lot of people here are stuck so far up her ass they can't see daylight. Seeing sense here is uncommon.

I do have to question why we are supposed to NOT talk about trying to get to / getting to a healthy BMI because some people don't want to / can't get to a healthy BMI?

Why are we supposed to be sensitive to people who call a healthy BMI ugly and unattractive?

You know, I have no idea. I'm certainly not yet at a "healthy" BMI, but even I can see that overweight is overweight is overweight. Is it healthier than "morbidly obese?" Sure. But it still isn't as healthy as "healthy," no two ways about it. It's why you get told by your doctor that you need to lose a few. It's why, all other things being equal (family disease history, smoking habits, etc.), an overweight person will pay more for health insurance than a person with BMI in the healthy range. It's 'cause overweight people are statistically not as healthy as people with a "normal" BMI!

Why is it apparently so hard to recognize that and own it? Thinking you look best with a BMI of 28 is great, but it doesn't change the fact that those extra pounds are likely to carry with them a few extra health issues that a person with a BMI of, say, 23, isn't as likely to have.

I'll be completely blunt. Screw that. My personal journey is not done until I reach a normal BMI and I'll be damned if I am going to agree to being told that I have to keep my mouth shut to keep other happy because I can see that a normal BMI is the healthiest option. Others can do whatever the heck they want but they HAVE TO realise that any BMI above a normal one is going to carry with it higher health risks. Thats a proven medical FACT that they just cannot dispute.

I think it's just hilarious that we all sit here and talk about this. Does she not have a clue?

Oh and I can't remember who asked, but yes, once I went in for a fill and totally lost all my fill. Dr. pulled out what was in there, and must have missed the port when he put it back in. I went back in a few days and he said "you have no saline" I told him "why do you think I am back here?" I don't have a leak, cause I am at my sweet spot now. So yes, it does happen. How it happens is still a mystery to me.

Maybe I should have a fill so I can get to goal by puking and becoming malnourished.:rolleyes::redface:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
