Two emotions that came from being Fat all my life....



Recommended Posts

With Me

The Fat Fairie

tricked me

she told me

she'd be

My friend

My family

My love

so sweet....

The Fat Fairie

she left me

with all of her lies...

Wear black,

Wear heels,

Wear no stripes to the side.

The Fat Fairie

she's sly...

She's living

rent free.

She built an

addition...

She's living

with me.

Don't Feel Sorry For Me

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't look my way and think to yourself

"She's so pretty...if only

she could lose some weight".

I know it's a touchy subject

but I don't care.

I am full of life

and love to share.

Maybe it's my private shield,

usually people don't enter

who are not for real.

Sometimes it can give

me the ede.

I'm friends with some

who might have been

intimidated instead.

I've been up and I've been down.

It has been a merry-go-round.

I've felt the sting

of judging eyes.

I've been embarrassed

I have cried.

But I've also found

that I can be.

All that matters

all I need.

I can star in passion's play,

I am free...

I'm not afraid.

Can any of you relate?????

I am so glad to have Hope with this Band......

Nancy

Thanks - I used to perform these (in fact I wrote them to perform) and the audience would always love them.....

It took guts - but you guys know - that inside I still wished I wasn't fighting the fat fairy in the first place.

You know how it is.....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
