You are so strong. I hate the fat shaming. With the fat acceptance movement, I had family and friends say things like "well it's not ok to be fat so I don't have to accept them." And I explained that, no, being overweight isn't healthy, but that wasn't the point of the movement. It was/is to bring attention to the fact that overweight people get treated so horribly and that we should treat them like human beings and give them the basic kindness and respect that you would give anyone. It's not ok to treat anyone poorly just for their weight. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I am just starting mine, and reading things like this give me great hope.

That's great to hear, and I definitely try to stay as organized as possible, that's half the battle with this process it seems. When did you end up getting the surgery done, if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
