My BMI was 31 (no co mordidities) and I had the same doubts as you. What made my mind up for me was two things. First, I just didn't want to spend the next 30 years of my life battling my weight. I have done it for 25 years and I am tired already. Finally, I had a second daughter and realized if I didn't get my eating habits and food choices under control my girls would learn everything from me just like I did from my obese mother. I wanted to do everything I could to help them avoid being a chubby teenager. So I am starting by being the best example I can be. This is your choice and only you can decide if its worth it. Good luck

No joke you lost weight and 25 years. In the first shot I thought it was your dad or something! Way to go, you look awesome!

So I started at 199. My highest non-pregnant weight of my life. The only time in my life when I didn't feel fat was when I was at 135. I am 5 feet 5 inches. So I am now down 20lbs and weight is 179 (big yay to that). But to me, I am still terribly obese. I see these photos of other women who are at the same weight as me and they look fantastic. I just don't understand how two people the same height and weight can look so different.
This road is both harder and easier than I expected. Maybe I am just frustrated because I am in the dreaded 3 week stall and feel like 20 pounds is all I am going to get out of this. Ugh

Well, in an effort to rectify this problem. May I say to you all - "wow! Did you lose weight? You look amazing. Great job!"
Happy Thursday

You lose 20 pounds post surgery and no one notices. Sigh....
The 20 pounds mean a lot to me and I am really happy about the loss. It has been three weeks. i can see and feel a difference, but I have to admit I am a bit bummed that no one else has noticed.

All the responses are appreciated. Logic tells me to be patient, but my desperate heart who has wanted for so long to conquer this weight problem is just so excited I get frustrated when I don't see results. I know it's fear. Fear if failing AGAIN in losing weight and keeping it off. It's amazing how many negative and deep seeded emotions come up during this journey. Thanks for all your encouragement and words of wisdom.
