Lady Loca

Im in perth, western Australia and my surgery is scheduled for that day too so looks like we are both going in on the 15th.. how wonderful! everything will be ok I actually cant wait for the surgery and to be put under because when i wake up it will be the start of my new life..

Thats just discusting what that man did, if i was at another table or the one taking their order I would of been escorted out of there and told him exactly what i thought of him! I used to have a best friend that has 2 young children now 3 and 5... all she fed them was fries, potato gems,kfc potato and gravy,garlic bread,chicken rolls, bread,pancakes and occasionally pastabake,chicken sausages and chicken Soup...and in the 3 years i knew her thats the whole variety i saw them eat! mainly it was straight home from daycare with a yoghurt or puree fruit snack for dinner with cordial (kool-aid) and that was it! or a drive through straight after daycare and red rooster chips and gravy ..i confronted her over it and she gave the lame excuse they dont eat anything else or they dont need to eat much because they ate at daycare.. i find that hard to beleive since i met her through the daycare they was at as i was a childcare assistant for 2 years and i worked in both their rooms they would inhale the food especially the little one he would have 2-3 servings in the baby room.. for lunch probably because he knew he was only getting a handful of chips or a fruitsnack for dinner.. i totally disagree with with her parenting when it comes to nutrition and did i mention her children are small for their age ..it makes me so mad because u have to walk on eggshells when it isnt your child because u have to respect the parents wishes.. I am a person that is very protective over children and animals so i find it real hard to watch these people kill their kids with their own bad habits.. they should learn from their mistakes and the way they feel about themselves (she had a history of bulimia and is currently obese) to not want to put their kids through that I worry for her kids because all she seems to do is feed them chips and have them in front of the Tv all day, the 5 year old knows all the movies and kids shows by memory and says the lines when they say them i just hope they get out of that sedintary lifestyle and get active as they get older,,, my boyfriends son is overweight and when i go to california next month i plan to do a lot of active things with him and make fun smoothies and fruit kebabs without making him feel bad his father agrees and cant wait ...lol just education before he hits his teens and struggles for acceptance.. .. knowledge is the key and i dont want that poor little boy ending up having to have WLS or crash dieting.. by the way his son lives with his mum and her parents whom are all overweight .. so i plan to be that positive force in both their lives.. here goes....................

awwwe man thats great! i cant wait for the day I go to supre and something fits there! I'll be dancing around the store doing woop woop woop woop's like homer simpson on the floor ha ha oh how i dream to wear a bikini top and board shorts to the beach, and be whistled at and not out of sarcasam either ha ha and how i can go to target and buy the prettiest bra and knickers sets and feel like a girl.. and how sweet it would be to wear a halterneck dress with little strappy heels and a flower in my hair and be one of the hotties for a change... sipping on a fruity beverage and nice healthy glowing skin ha ha man am i ever getting carried away, i guess the excitement of it actually going to happen is unbeleiveable..

awesome! Im in perth W.A and my lapband is scheduled 15th august.. only 13 days to go, I cant wait its costing me an arm and a leg but its worth the rest of my lifes happiness I think I will be a different person after this.. when i reach my goal I cant wait to hit up Target and get those nice bra sets they sell ..they only go up to size 14 pfffft ha ha Ill be asking if they have anything smaller then that... in your face to all those clothes companies that never made them in my size ha ha

i havent had my lapband yet im due to have it in 13 days i recall one thing i used to do a few years ago when i was trying to lose weight was i would play my keyboard and if i made a mistake i would get down and do 10 pushups or situps lol.. it was funny to see because i'd be up and down up and down.. perhaps i should actually be able to play the keyboard properly then i wouldnt make so many mistakes i thought it was amusing at the time though cuz i can only play a couple of tunes i was taught ha ha anything to get my mind off food.. another thing i do is listen to audio books.. (novels on cd) it helps me destress and like reading u can get the picture in your head and imagination can run wild.It reminds me of being in school as a lil girl and being told a story by my teacher plus you dont have to lay there in bed and hold the book up ( i know my arms get tired) and if u have a migraine or eyestrain its perfect.. u can download a lot too plus a lot of meditation cd's

Hi all.... this is so cool that young people are doing it because i think its so sad wasting our youth being unhappy with our weight, My surgery is on August 15th and my Birthday August 5th so what better a present to give myself.. I'll be turning 25! I know how it feels feeling like the "big" one in the group and things i will NOT MISS are as follows...:mad: feeling like the fat one and intimidated when out with thin friends:phanvan following my thin friends around the mall and holding their bags whilst they are having a ball trying on all the pretty clothes in the changing rooms..:think getting called "fat " in the street by strangers or being told im too fat to be out and to go home.. covering my stomach with a pillow when i sit down, covering my stomach and holding my breath and choosing to stand at the back for photos, going clubbing in frumpy long button up shirts :boy_hug: dressing like a tomboy in summer with nike shorts and oversize tshirts swimming in long tshirts and shorts..(man their heavy and take a long time to dry).. getting my jewellery resised cuz my fingers are fat having my mother tell me im just jealous of her cuz she is skinny when we argue lol:angry feeling out of place in girly clothing..:kiss2: tugging at my clothing to make sure it doesnt ride up when im out dancing :bounce: feeling embarrased eating in public:hungry: having my thighs rub together untill theres no skin left (if i wear a skirt which is rare..) having to wear bike pants under skirts to prevent thighs chafing realising that the clothes only go up to a small size 12/14 (aussie sizing is different) in your age group clothing stores..:noidea: trying on clothes in stores and wanting to cry because the largest size they have is still too small:angry being ridiculed or laughed at and rejected if i show interest in someone of the opposite sex!:think being ashamed of my body with my boyfriend wanting a tshirt on and the lights off lol not being picked to go backstage at concerts having your hair cut at the hairdressers and the mirror makes your face look real fat felling scruffy even though im in decent clothes having family members i havent seen in a while tell me ive gotten huge..... well duh dont remind me geeeez! being scared to show my arms hearing the saying "you would be pretty if u wasnt so fat"..or "being fat doesnt suit you!" and the list goes on... man reading this through i wish i would of done this waaaaaay sooner if your deciding whether to do it or not i say DO IT you have nothing to lose but the negatives in your life.. bring on the skinny clothes! and society's respect...
