I have become a bad influence

  • Popular Post

Something about getting really close to goal has me being way too honest. Obnoxiously honest.

I'm openly talking about all my screw ups....which, lets face it...people just don't do. We're all perfect, right? And we should inspire others to achieve perfection and never color outside the lines and never backslide and never admit it.

Admitting it is setting a bad example, right? Think of the Newbies! Cover their ears! SAVE them!

(in truth, I wish someone HAD admitted that screw ups occur regularly when I was first staring this process..I quite enjoy ugly truths...but I'm weird that way)

More and more, I think I'm getting close to the end of my time here at Bariatric Pal.

Once upon a time, I recall telling someone...if I stick around at this site past when I reach goal and pretend I have some kind of answer.....please Shoot Me. I don't want to be that person. I'm not that person.

By luck, trial and error, Herculean patience, Feck all who knows?...somehow, I'm a stone's throw from the holy grail: Goal.

The only answer I've got...is that answers vary. No two people have done it exactly the same way. Try hard every day. Don't give up. Use all the help they give you.

Weight has defined so much about my life for so long....i'm just burnt out on it.

I want to start talking about other things.

I'm giving myself another month for the last 4 pounds...but come August...I think i'm outta here:)

I know for a few of you....this is welcome news! :D Bahahaha!

It's been a hell of a ride, my bariatric friends. Legendary.

I wish each and every one of you.....fulfillment of your expectations and a safe healthy ride getting there.

Smooches!

    Aw that's a shame you are leaving @Creekimp13. There are a lot of people who post who have had surgery in the last year or so, but the actual vets are few and far between. I hope you change your mind,

  • Seems like a dumb reason to leave. But that's just my opinion. You do whatever you have to do. Congrats on almost making your goal. Good luck with keeping it off. Enjoy your new found

I just like the idea of making my hubby wear a monkey suit and buying an expensive dress. Why the hell not? I deserve a little glamour, dammit. LOL
