I was also bullied at school because I was a bad learner and didn't get good grades, so I now have the trauma that I cannot do something.

But with time my muse to live has returned.

God, bullying, in general, is really bad, especially for people who haven't matured. In school, I was also bullied. That's why I hate doing homework. That's why I use this service https://edubirdie.com/buy-dissertation. Usually, from here, I buy a dissertation for my college (now I'm a student). They often charge us with homework, so it's a great way out of the situation. Especially since it gives me a lot of time, I can spend on work.

Dont forget this tho......it doesnt matter if your fat or thin, tall or short there will always be something a bully will pick from to cause a person grief. They may not like your hairstyle or the way you dress. There's always something they will find.....we have to learn to not sweat the small things. There are much more important things to focus on like celebrating the weight you have lost, planning your next big whatever a trip, a shopping spree or just something as simple as finding shoes to fit so you can walk more. Focus on you and the things that bring you happiness.

Dont worry so much about others nothing you can do about them except ignore them.

Live, Laugh and Love yourself, thats your goal 😁

Hey there, I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through such hurtful fat shaming. It's important to remember that your worth isn't determined by your size or appearance. You're on a journey towards better health and that's something to be proud of. Don't let the negativity of others bring you down.

So I have always been a big kid since maybe the 4th grade but I was never huge. I can still remember every fat comment that my friends said. I can honestly tell you I dont remember what people I didnt know said. But people I care about I remember them all. Honestly, my worst bully would have been my dad. Quick story. I use to be a gym rat power lifter in my yournger days and learned everything I could about building muscle mass. I guress since i was never going to be skinny I was going to be strong. Flash forward 25 years or so (I am 51) and my dad asked someone about how the best way to build muscles in his arms, The guy he was talking to was just naturally big. didnt work out to get that way and he was telling my dad some pretty basic useless info. So I started to talk about techniques for building muscle and my old man cut me off and told me if he needed info on how to eat big macs he would ask me.

Long story short, you cant control what other people do. Just know when people say crappy things its more of a reflection on their own insecurities and weakness. Also, the internet has made a culture of being able to say mean stuff without getting punched in the face. Im guessing most of these comments comes with the a hole having space and an exit plan. My favorite thing to do when people are like that is to get nose to nose when you can and ask them to repeat it. I have never one time done this and had them not back down. May be a little afressive on my part but I just hate this no accountability for running your mouth society we have created.

Outside of that you just have to let it go as someone who didnt get any love as a child trying to get attention. In short, screw that moron.

Surround yourself with positivity and focus on what truly makes you happy.
Also, I recently came across some helpful information about dealing with harassment or blackmail. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, you might find this link useful: https://www.digitalforensics.com/blackmail. It's always good to be informed and know how to protect ourselves.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
