I'm Feeling Foxy!



Recommended Posts

DeLarla... It took me forever to figure it out!!!

I will post a long explanation here in a minute.

I have to do it step by step to remember what I am doing and I am SURE there is an easier way of doing it.

  • Right click on picture you want to edit/post to LBT. Save the picture in your MyPictures folder on your computer under a name you will remember.
  • Do the same for the second picture that you will want to post side by side.
  • Right click on the picture that you want to be your “Before” picture and choose EDIT.
  • If your before picture is too big or not the right size you will need to right click on the picture in your folder and choose Open with Microsoft Photo Editor. There you can resize, rotate the pic.
  • OK, back to step 3 where you want to start with your before pic. Make a box around you and right click and Cut. Start a new file and paste your before pic.
  • Save the new file as what you want your before and after to be (Before and After)
  • Go to your After Pic and right click on it, choose edit. Do the same, make a box and cut you out. Open your Before and After File and paste the after pic. Move it over to where you want.

You should feel foxy, because you are a fox.

PS woulden't mind finding a man as fine as yours for myself. Count your blessings in that area. Trish

I have one more that I think is hideous... this thread just chokes me up so much. I went shopping at Nordstrom yesterday and tried on some regular size XL shirts. They are snug, but they fit. I've never, ever, ever - not even as a teen - shopped in a normal store. Ever. I didn't buy any, but I did blow a wad of dough on myself. I mean a WAD.

People, if I can do this, anybody can. I've been obese since childhood and if you dare me, I might "consider" posting a childhood picture. I'm not sure if I can bring myself to do it because it's very sad. Very, very sad. So if I can lose weight after 40 years of being morbidly obese, then I swear, anyone can do it. Anyone. Just let me kick your ass into gear.

I dare you!

But what about starting a new thread for it?

Sharing those painful pics with each other may cause a positive reaction... ???

Heather, I'll dig out my childhood pic of an abused & neglected scruffy 175 pound child that will make you cry. I can't explain how you get on the right train, but you'll find it. I look better now than I did in grade school. Just eat 4-5 ounces of Protein this morning, then drink tons of Water. Sure, you might feel a little hungry, but a huge salad is just a few hours away. You can do it girl!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
