7. Fabricated an elaborate story that I had a rare disease that if I missed even just one meal I would lose weight so fast that I would starve to death immediately. I loved perfecting this story. :) lol I never told it to anyone, but I loved working on it... hehe

That is too funny!!!

This is an awesome thread... I have done everything that you guys have mentioned and then some.

1. I know every fast food place on the way to work and on the way home.

2. Eat fast food for Breakfast, lunch, early supper, late supper...

3. Stayed home from weddings because I don't want people to see me...

4. Ate nothing at all just because I didn't want skinny people to have to see the fat girl eat (like that wasn't drawing even more attention)

5. Don't go shopping with friend.

6. Always have something in my lap hiding the rolls...

Funny how I thought that I was the only person doing all this silly stuff. That is why I love this site... everyone here is so much alike!!!

Sorry for typo's//////!!!!!!!!!!!! My screen is too far from the couch!

good ones!!

i wont eat

in front of regular folk either...cone

for their sake

we just arent allowed, i guess

baddie: at a car drive up at a&W, i got a corn dog and small cone (usual..ate small meals)

young cute college men were next to us

So, i so very carefully took a small bite off the top of cone..

(thought he wasnt looking)

he choked on his hog full mouth immediately and made fun of me with his buddies about how i 'devoured' a bite..

then he mimiced me on his cone and dove his mouth on it to show...

I so did not do that

IF he was just making fun, no biggie

but he genuinely saw me do it that way, (i could tell)

THAT stings.

People do see us eat ... wrongly

I for one NEVER hog my food... (just not me)

and I am kinda proud (gotta have something at this size)

And that burned me up too.

I have always hated being accused of doing the two pop thing to make the food look like two peoplw....and other things...closet eat, ..binge

but I know its typical, I understand

its just my pet peeve

ACTUALLY I WANT TO LET THAT GO RIGHT NOW

I have nothing to proove.. I DO not need ro show how my meal is a corn dog and a small cone and it fills me good.....NO I wont get more in 20 minutes!!!!!

I do not need to defend fatties who really only have two slices of pizza but gets asked if she is on a diet!!!

I found out my eating habits were horrific. Overall non defensive...

And I wont defend the little parts I spent so often defending cuz its why I was able to be blind to the truth of my total habits (shiver)

My food addiction is gone... TIME to put old habits to rest!!

I am gonna try to never mention my tiny portain eating ever again..

unless its band related scientifiacally

(I may have to tak about something involving food and my kids and defending ONE llast time before I let it rest.. )

(maybe not any more)

JQ ((((HUGS))))

Water is the MANNA for the fat.

Nothing feels better (to me)

I spend all summer at the lake..try

Oh an, I float on tubes, I catch salimanders, I find mud pits and play dirty monkey, I lounge in a boat and nap for hours, I swim down alcoves no one goes, I always go to the swim boobie and ride it, I swim in the pouring rain, I swim in the dark, I swim with fish biting me, I even can swim and fish at the same time! (dont swim as much as float and slowly put around) I swim with my wonderful kids, others kids, and cute boys.....

where do u live? You must know this bliss! Shirt required.

People DO NOT GAWK like you might think...or make fun or point...

I must assume its cuz even jerks can respect the 400 pound lady enjoying herself like that (acting like anyone else) (of course its NOT anything like everyone else cuz it takes about fifty times the work and lots of scamming to not look so bad in those moments only the fat deal with.

This is true all the time.. Fat ladies will be made fun of right in front of me as if I am not one... only cuz they "dont work the crowd" ... I am conscious of every minute and cant really explane how to avoid over 50% of the fat socail quo...... ALL I know is I found a way rather than give up the only things I have good In my6 life!

THIS IS NOT a lecture.. I want to empower you.. and your no swim in 10 years is gonna be on my mind all night. lol

PLEASE know I am just as inconfident and affraid and low self esteem as most.. (pretty bad) AND I am NO dork or weirdo (the mud munkies)

I just learned a skill long ago called "fake it till you make it"

I am faking it still.. but I am a pro.

AND it leads to great fun and nothing neggative... so is my life.

My life sucks alot.. dont get me wrong, and I suffer great pains no man would tolerate for my little pleasures.. but that makes it all the more worth it.

P<S

I NEVER SHOW my grossness.. ... thats just rude.. (not confident) lol

I wear capri black streach pants, a tank top, ALWAYS WITH A NET COVER UP. I have BLACK< RED AND WHITE.

(full summer wardrobe!)

I am more ugly than anything.. and I have stupid hair too..

NO ONE IN MY FAMILY HAS A POOL!!!!!!

loves

hmmm...okay

I would buy a smaller size than I actually wore if I was shopping with friends

Order a smaller and any normal person would order entree at a restaurant and claim not to be hungry, just so I didnt hardly eat in front of them

Talk about shopping in "small" stores, even though I didnt

Well i would never do those sneaky drive thru tricks but i would always feel funny about clothes shopping with skinny freinds.

My more embarrising moment due to my wieght

1. My wife wanted to buy me a outfit for our annaversary she had to practicly choke me to get my pants size and after i told her i hung up the phone and sobbed.....

2. I love roller coasters. But i have not gone to Great america in years beacause i am afraid i wont fit. I have made a million excuse on why i havnt gone

3. I have cheated my wife out of certain activities in fear i wont fit in or that people will look at me funny.....

I know theres more just cant think of them tho......

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
