I have decided to face the truth about my weight



Recommended Posts

I have come to a decision and I can't say I'm not nervous about it but I have decided I have to do it....I have to not be ashamed to admit my weight! I have gone to TickerFactory so many times and made my ticker only to look at it and be ashamed that it shows either what I weigh or what I weighed when I was banded but no more! I went to our health clinic to check my weight the other day since I hadn't weighed since my last fill in July and to my great pleasure I have lost 87 pounds since my surgery a little over 3 months ago! I couldn't wait to get back to my office to tell everyone what I had just found out when it hit me......I was ashamed to tell people that I had lost 87 pounds and I am still as big as I am! I shared this with a good friend of mine and she told me to stop being silly. Well, I've decided to take her advice and stop being silly and what better place than to do it here! I hope maybe someone can see that this certainly works for people of all sizes, even someone with a high starting weight like mine. So folks, thanks for letting me share and now I proudly, if not hesitantly, present my new signature with my ever decreasing ticker!

There is nothing to be ashamed of..you need to be PROUD..87 lbs in 3 months is FANTASTIC~! We are all here battling the same demon, we would never think bad of you for how much you weigh, I'm just glad you realized what a fantastic job you have done and decided to come out of the closet! Huge Kudos to you :):D

Way to Go, Becky!

WOW!! What an accomplishment -- 87 pounds! Keep up the fantastic work. Don't worry about what you used to weigh it's gone gone gone! You aren't what you weigh it's what is on the inside that counts! You are still the same person only getting smaller on the outside. Be PROUD of all that you have accomplished!

Hi Becky,

I applaud your courage. I can understand your hesitation, but I think your friend it right. Girl, shout those numbers -- 87 lbs in 3 months?! Whew, you're well on your way. Keep up the good work. The thing I love about this site, is that you'll get more support than you ever thought and if you feel more comfortable telling your LBT friends than your co-workers you should just do it!

All the best!

WHAT A SUPER JOB!!!!!

Rember, it's not where you're going and it's not where you've been, but where you are right now that matters. And girl, you are in a fabulous place.

Do you have any idea the number of people who weighed what you use to weigh would have just given up and never even tried? The numbers are staggering I'm sure. But not you, you are a strong, couragous and inspirational woman and we are all proud of you and glad you shared your wonderful news with us. I hope you know how much you are helping others who might be feeling like, it's just too hard, I have too much to lose, why bother, yadayadayada.

You are a shining example of strong and powerful woman.

Good luck on your continued success in this battle we all here are fighting.

Cindy

Mega Diva - I think I like that.

Becky - you are beautiful and an inspiration to us all. Maybe if I EVER get an answer from my Insurance company, you can be my Angel?

((HUGS)) and congrats on Coming out of the Weight Closet.

      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.
