LOL. I think I've been watching too much Once Upon a Time. Prince Charming us actually a character. LOL. Started with Netflix now catching up on Hulu. Great show!,

Thank you.

LOL. I just laughed reading my quote. I'm just being honest.

Fishy, I didn't find them physically or intellectually attractive. In addition, there were some with incomplete profiles or seemed suspect. One guy had a spelling issue. I'm educated, and that was a pet peeve of mine. One guy's photo looked as if he was in his mom's basement. I just didn't get contacted by someone I felt was interested in getting to know me for me, and was on my level intellectually.

Aww. I hope so for me too.

It's funny how our perception differs from others. I definitely understand how you feel. I was smaller when I was younger, and people would say I look good, ect. I didn't believe it. Stress, ect caused me to gain weight, and now I'm trying to get healthy and learn to love myself like I should be loved. We have to learn to love ourselves. It's nice to see that she gave you motivation to start building your positive attitude. You'll get there.

Thank you. *hugs* back. I'm hoping and praying for the best.

Anticipation is the title of one of my favorite collections of music by Trey Songz. I am totally anticipating when I will be sleeved. I've posted several times how I have to wait 12mths, and for some reason it seems like time is moving slow. I have some major health issues, and I really need to get this weight off. I'm currently yo yoin back and forth between being concious of what I eat, to just eating what ever. I recently learned that I have a dermoid cyst on my remaining ovary, which puts my goal of having more children in jeopardy. About 4 years ago I have my left ovary removed due to having a large dermoid cyst that went undetected. I vowed to keep an eye on this one, and sure enough, here we go again. My goal was to lose weight, find prince charming, get married, and then we'd have 1 or 2 babies. I currently have a 19yr old son, which I had when I was 15. I have raised him to the best of my ability and for the most part he is a good kid. Peer pressure is a b***h! I think that is what is leading him right now, though I know he has the mind to making his own decisions. Anyway, I have wanted to have a child with a more traditional way, and be able to prepare for the child, decorate a nursery, and just have that joy filled experience that surrounds the adult experience of having a child. Now, that I have this tumor, I am forced to think of other alternatives such as sperm donation. I would have never thought of this happening, but it has. I'm just hoping now I can lose the weight to even do that. I'm so hoping that the tumor does not grow quickly, and that it just remains dormant to give me the opportunity of reaching my goals of losing weight, being healthy, and having a baby. Everyone who reads these words please pray for me. I'm just really nervous, and stressed out about this.

When I say "desirable" I mean physically. I'm cute, and have a great personality. I'm just fat.

Wow.

LOL

Wow This is getting me excited. 10mths to go.

Good luck you guys. You'll do great!

Hang in there. You can do it!!!

Wow! How do you guys do it? I wanna be like you when I grow up.

LOL. Thanks. If I could do it sooner I would. Trying to look on the bright side.

Hello everyone. I'm about 12mths out for surgery. My insurance mandates me to participate in their 12mth weight coaching program. I started in August, so by next August it will be getting more real. I joined the coaching program just to see if having those extra benefits would help me lose weight on my own. After learning more about the sleeve, I've become seriously interested in going ahead and having the surgery. I have been overweight most of my life, and have some serious health issues like diabetes, HBP, and cholesterol issues. I lost my father and cousin early due to medical issues. I don't want to be next. I'm trying to get it together and as you all know it's not an easy feat. I am glad that I do have 12mths to make changes necessary for life long success. I'm off to a slow start, but have to really figure out why i'm dragging my feet. I'm happy to have learned of this group and am looking forward to continuing to learn more from you guys and have support as I move toward having surgery next year.
