I have decided that starting today, I will not let negativity control me or hinder me. Back before my surgery, I would turn to food, sweets, soda, or anything I could get my hands on to comfort me when I was down. As a result, a ballooned to over 358 lbs! I was 30 years old, newly married, unhappy with myself and not very confident. While I would be considered very successful to some, I had a BA and a Masters degree, I still felt my life was on a downward spiral out of control! So I decided to take control.
Now I have a new evil...friends, haters and insecurity. I've had friends tell me that I will not look right if I lose to much weight. That I am going to look loose. I've had people tell me that I think I'm all that now. I even had a friend say we won't be able to hang if I am not in the big girl's club! Well you know what I say to that...thanks but no thanks. I am not about to succomb to that kind of talk and I admonish you not to either. It's time for me to look good, have babies, be happy, be confident...I don't care who doesn't like it...it's my turn now!
