hi yvette,

what is this sliming I keep reading about? Also what is that sweet spot that everyone is talking about. I am getting banded Sept.2

Thanks Nikki

I know how you feel. I was always "the pretty but fat one" All of my friends had many dates and I was often left to hear the stories or had a pity set up. Don't get me wrong, I did most of the damage to myself. I was always the first to put me down so I felt if I did it first, no one could hurt me. I was only about 15lbs more that my friends, but that was enough for MANY guys to think that I was pretty but FAT. You friend is right. Men would much rather be with a less pretty girl if she was skinny. I HATE THAT but i have been told be a few guys... Fast forward to today and I have an amazing husband. We met online and it was love at first site. YOU WILL FIND YOU MATE. You have to believe in yourself and be PROUD of YOU!!!

Good luck

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Enjoy your new year with a new body and frame of mind!!!

It is kind of tricky about who you can tell. It's funny, we are judged for being fat in this world but when we try to do something about it, people always talk you down. Everyone is an expert. They all say.... just eat less ans work out more.... I told my husband that if I had a drug problem, wouldn't you want me to go to re-hab? It's the same thing for surgery for a person who struggles with a food addiction.

I still have my consult with the local clinic on friday. I will listen to what they have to say.
