I've heard that drinking lots of water, strength training, regular massages, and a slow, gradual weight loss help prevent the flabby flab flab.

I am somewhat concerned about this issue. I'm annoyed to think of the drama which will be created when I do shed the weight. My family is extremely competitive. Being that I've been large since my childhood, I've never posed a threat in the physical sense. My sister-in-law was fairly slender. She's picked up a few pounds since and though she wants to lose weight, she discourages me from doing so. My mother wants me to lose weight, but there's this edge to it. What will she find to harp on when I've lost the weight? I don't think that anyone wishes me any harm, but unconsciously, I think they've come to depend upon being cute by default in comparison to me. My friend's mother has always urged her to lose weight so she'll look better than I do. I think that is wretchedly silly. I have supported my friend's attempt at weight loss because I want to see her happy and healthy. I don't understand why people would begrudge a person those basic states. In any event, I have decided to be positive. In the event that I do lose friends, I'll simply connect with new ones. If my family gives me a hard time, I'll define the problem, advise them of a solution and allow them to make the changes necessary to accept the situation. :eek:

I'll pray for a speedy approval and financial gains to add to your savings for the surgery.:biggrin:

~ Fat people clothes aren't terribly cute. I have a fabulous sense of style. I'd like to utilize it. ~ Going for an early morning jog without fear of instantly killing my knees. ~ Having doors held and chairs pulled out for me. ~ The silken sensation of thigh highs and garter belts. ~ Cute panties. ~ Boxing. ~ Appreciative glances. ~ Having the confidence and self-worth to respond positively when men show an interest. ~ A better social life. ~ Not stressing over the poor example I set for my little sisters. ~ Saving on my grocery bill. ~ Saving on my gas bill. That's right. The more you weigh, the more gas your vehicle uses. ~ Eating in public without receiving strange glances. ~ Having people recognize me for the wonderful person that I am instead discounting me as someone who doesn't matter, as I'm merely a fat and lazy individual. There's more, but I'll take these for now. :biggrin:
