Looking great!

Has anyone noticed their weight loss has impacted the dynamic of their relationships or dating? I know I'm a complicated case because I have a lot of emotional and self esteem issues but I was just curious if anyone else had issues finding love or keeping love Postop? I'm having a hard time with all this newfound attention and I've noticed I've become obsessed with my appearance. I also share a lot of pics on support sites, IG, FB. Not because I'm looking for attention or compliments but more so to inspire others and give them hope it can be done. I've been told more than once I'm constantly seeking attention and I dismissed it of course. But another part of me is starting to wonder am I? Are they right?! I don't want my insecurities/issues to come in between me and love. I'd welcome any thoughts!

Thank u very much for ur kind words and support. I know it's not a conscious thing. The attention seeking behavior. It's not like I take a pic and say, I wonder how many likes/comments this will get?! I'm just excited and also want to help others. I've been approached by countless friends on FB and in life who have told me my posts have inspired them to do more about their health. Which means the world to me. I was obsessed with before and after pics preop. It's what got me through my scariest moments. As for love, I haven't been looking for it. Actually I was avoiding it like the plague but recently made a connection with someone. I let him in and he too has issues with self esteem. He's extremely insecure and jealous. So I'm not sure if it's his insecurity or my behavior or the combo of both. My spins. I just know I can't in good conscience continue a behavior that's harmful to those I care about.

Bahahaha. That sounds like a great problem to have! I'm loving my skinny sexin! It brings so many new positions with it. And I'm not shy for the cameras anymore!

Me before surgery in April and me now. 60 pounds down. 20 to go.

Hello all it's been a while. Just wanted to check in and update on my progress. Sleeved in April and I'm feeling more fit than ever. I have so much more energy and stamina. I'm starting to like the reflection in the mirror. I'm no supermodel but I'm closer to my fitness goals than ever. Here's my most recent bikini pic. Just gotta flatten and tighten that tummy and firm up those thighs now.

One of my fave parts of my sleeve....no more tears in the dressing room! I can see something in the window such as this hot lil number and buy it right off the rack! So pumped I found the purrrrfect dress for NYE!

Aww so very very sweet!

Thank you all! I had my surgery in April. I've only lost 60 pounds, I'm a slow loser but I'm short and muscular too.

Well thank u so much. You're a beautiful girl. I'm sure you will do awesome!

I'm only 5'3" but I've lost 60 pounds. I'm a slow loser plus I'm naturally muscular. I'm very good about my nutritional plan but terrible about working out. I just got on my fitness kick and I've been doing abs and squats and lunges. The best most consistent workout I've been getting since I had surgery is....SEX! Lmao. Sorry not trying to be disrespectful but so true. And I'm talking marathon style sex on the regular! Lol. So get it in however u can.

Thank u all! No tummy tuck although I wish I had. I'm too poor for plastic surgery. :-/ that's just plain old vanilla me.

I'm born and raised in Texas and this is the first time I can wear an outfit like this. I'm soooo excited.

Thank you all!!!

Bought this hot lil number in Vegas over a year ago and I can finally fit it!!!! I'm sooo pumped.

Thank you all. I started @ 210 and I'm currently @ 165

I'm so pumped with my weight loss that I took the plunge and chopped all my locks off. Woot woot.

Thx all. I absolutely love it. Haven't felt this confident in ages.

I'm so excited I'm down 40 lbs and 32 lbs from goal. I'm only 3 months out. I'm noticing a considerable difference in my body. But the pictures speak for themselves.

Thank you all.

Thanks :-) so excited. Love my sleeve.

Thank you so much.

Thanks everyone. I'm so excited at the possibilities the future has in store.

Thx all! I started at a lower BMI. I'm 5'3" and now weigh 168 as of this morning.
