No game

I felt incredible peace, I knew that this body, this life was was temporary and soon I would be free. But that's not to say that what your feeling isn't normal. We all go through mourning at some point. I think for a lot if us mourning happens in the first month. When all sorts of other "fun" things are happening! We all get hit with just how much food meant to us, yes we are all fat and food tastes good (duh) But food was so much more, it soothed our hurts, it helped us Celebrate our happy times, it was our late night friend. It never judged us or let us down.. After surgery we don't have our friend our confidant to lean on anymore. We are left to navigate our feelings on our own. Mourning... Yes we all mourn, it just sounds like your ahead of the curve.

Wow plastics.. I go back and forth how I feel about them too. I'm not a very high maintenance type of girl, I like some things about getting older. My wrinkles are ok and l don't dye my grey hair, I feel like I earned it.. But really I cannot get to that place with certain parts of my body. Namely my thighs. I have a ways to go yet, but if money where no object I might do the thighs just so I can live with some ease in my own head. Oh and wear shorts and go swimming!

Look at you! I'm glad things are going well for you again! And might I say you are moving on with style! Looking good my friend

Oh my dream! A swimsuit!!

Thank you for you well wishes! Im sorry i don't understand, What group are you talking about? Oh and Just a suggestion... But if she is doing something that is really bothering you, send her a pm to let her know she's saying things that are "hurtful"?

Another pound FYE? Awesome! I'm scared to step on the scale today, I "feel" the weight today. Oh and the other thing. Just drama, sad really... Oh .1? Well hell that's still in the right direction!!

Hmmm... Do we go through a coordinator for that?

I was thinking if I wasn't the B she was talking about.... I might be now! Damn! Oh well I'm talking about my loose jiggly skin on another thread, I'm going back to that.

I get this! Yes I love shopping now yes it's only 70 pounds or so gone, but when I shop it's more than just being able to wear "normal" sizes it's wearing something I like! When I shopped before, if I found something that fit. I bought it. Because finding something that fit was hard enough. I did not have the luxury of liking it or not.

I think the worst thing about looking deflated is also FEELING deflated! I love my weight loss but sometimes like this morning the skin swishing around sucks. My daughter drug my squishy ass out of bed this morning to go for a jog at the track.. I made it halfway around the track and had to stop because my pants were was falling off and siting askew because of the loose fat moving this way and that!

So this is the second thread that you've made about this woman, I will not say b***h like you did because that's not very nice is it? If she (this woman) bugs you so much just don't read her posts.... Or sign off.

I'm trying to feel sorry for you.... But I just can't! Dude get a grip, that's awesome! Just think of where you would be today if you hadn't had the sleeve 7 months ago. 89 pound loss? Hmmm...

Oh and here's a chain mail for the "other guys" This is an atheist chain mail. If you don't send this to 10 friends in the next 24 hours, nothing in particular will happen. Nothing good and nothing bad, except whatever would have happened anyway. If you do share this though, you will be encouraging others to think, and search for verifiable answers to life's questions rather than accept questionable advice from unverifiable sources. Ok unsubscribing now

You guys do know your fighting over a "chain mail".. A famous atheist once said, Promoting conversion over thought: One of my major issues with chain messages is that they tend to be full of specious factoids which fall apart under examination. Because the person sending the message didn't author it, they can't really respond to criticism, but it makes me wonder what the point of the message really was? Was it to get me to entertain new ideas, or was it a con game to trick me into the faith? The con angle is bad for everyone involved. Chain messages are static: once the content is out there, it gets passed on without much modification. Even after an argument is shown to be weak, or missing the mark, it just keeps getting repeated. When you repeatedly receive the same inappropriate argument, it tends to poison you against the faction making it. On the face of it, it would seem the simple solution is to not make bad arguments, but that's kind of impossible without the ability to adapt positions to new evidence or to respond dynamically to criticisms or misunderstandings. Chain messages are impersonal: Being impersonal is acceptable in some contexts, but in personal communications it reeks of insincerity, imo. I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that. When someone sends me a chain message in personal messaging format, it makes me wonder if they understand me or if they understand the argument. I tend to perceive it as propaganda instead of an exchange of ideas. It also sends me the message the the sender is looking for convenience in place of thoughtful presentation. If you care about your message, why not invest some time and effort into it? A lot of people feel atheist are snobs and assholes and its sometimes hard not to be when you are met with so much hatred. I think a lot of people have enjoyed the privilege of not facing dissent for so long that it feels like an absolute slap in the face the moment someone doesn't agree with a cherished view. It is unsettling to have a foundational view challenged even if the challenge itself isn't that threatening. Perhaps I am biased in my appraisal, but I feel like much of the resentment toward atheists has more to do with theists' perceptions and less to do with the actual behaviour of atheists. Note that I am saying 'more' and 'less' making it a matter of degrees and not absolutes. Anyway, that's my opinion; take it or leave it. By a "famous" atheist

I posted this in "fast day" last night but I think people are not really using that thread anymore. So here it is again! Interesting fast day.. I had a really bad day yesterday, that keeps trying to spill over into today. I get it people some of you hate me! Well last night I ate out of frustration, not hunger and well after 7pm. When I got up this morning I said no way no flipping fast today. And I was starving! But I am unhappy and I know it would make me more unhappy, so fasting I did. After 12:30 or so the hunger left me I didn't eat until tonight. Total calories 337. I don't anticipate weight loss from today though because of stress and lack of Water the last two days..

I think your words should be read by all that have had this surgery, larger BMI yes but also "lower" BMI. This surgery is like anything in life, you get out of it what you put in. I get into trouble around here sometimes for telling someone in the early stages of this journey that this surgery is not a "cure" and I'm sorry it does not help you make better decisions. I gain weight these days way easier than I take it off, just like before surgery. I have had days where I have cried because it hits me I will always be "dieting" in some form or another. It doesn't come off and stay off, it's not "congratulations that's 70 pounds you lost forever" it's work, and it's never ending. You don't get to goal and Celebrate with a present. You get to goal (if your lucky) wake up the next morning and continue the work. Wow! I realize everything I just wrote sounds like doom and gloom! I guess what I'm saying is bigger or smaller we have a lot in common, it's called food, and food will always be....
