Fat ain't where its at, but....

I know we've been banded and i know we're gonna be healthy and beautiful... but i think the message in this ad is awesome about self acceptance regardless/.... we've beaten ourselves up for way too long, and how about loving yourself thin... i mean accept you have your faults, take time to work on them, smooth out the crinkles and it will come in time.. but we are all beautiful in our own way and fat, skinny, tall, short, black , white, purple, it's important to recognise your diamonds (the things that make you shine) ...

anyways thats my touchy feely ness for today..

love

jess

Great ad and so true. You know what annoys me, why does target rarely advertise the bigger size clothes you get pages and whole catalogues dedicated to skinny people but usually just a note at the bottom to say yes fat clothes on sale to. Is it the dirty little secret that alot of women are plus size? We only have target in geraldton so I dont know about the rest.

Bring on the fashionable clothes!!! you are on your way I have to wait til March but I have waited this long so its really not far at all. I hate it when I do get to Perth usually for work and I have a friend with me and they are going into skinny boutiques going "this looks big why dont you try it on!!" Yeah perhaps on my toe lady!!!

but I smile politely and say "oh I dont really need anything today".

Hey, how come the fat girl clothes are always at the back of Target and not at the front like the "Hot Options" stuff. Why do they get such a kitsch name for their skinny bitch clothes and we get "Options Plus". Since when did we have options?? Oh, and Big Advantage? What advantages do we have? Sorry if I offended anyone, it just gets my goat!

Man, I could go on ALL day! BTW I'm so glad they changed BIG city chic to just City Chic.

AND why when you go to Katies do they give you a bag with 16/26 in huge words across the bag. Do the skinny people have their size emblazoned all over the bag no!!. You might as well put a sign on your head "fat person shopping" (I think they changed the name but why cant it just be Katies like everyone else)

I hear ya greeneyez I could go on all day too.

Its my birthday today and I just got through a dinner that could have been laden with calories only eating turkey and salad. Believe me I picked up the pizza and then thought is worth feeling bad later? No, so I put it down. I was forced to have some of my birthday cake but for someone that could eat a whole pizza without too much difficulty I think I did well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
