i'm down to a 4x.

oh! and in orientation in my new job today the store manager put the smack down on 4 teen girls who thought it would be cool to snicker at the fat lady (me) working in the plus size dept. in front of a bunch of other people he not so kindly reminded them I would be making 3x their income.

I like him. and he is cute too.

Woot!

I bought a new sweater from the regular clothes section...not the Plus Sizes! It's an XL, not a 1X, 2X, or 3X. Yay!

I brought my Dad home fromt he hospital today. He had a Warthins Tumor on his Parotid Gland in his neck. All biopsies came back negative for malignancy. He has a huge scar from around his ear lobe several inches down the side of his neck. The surgery involved not one, but two branches of facial nerves that come out of the skull and run down the face and neck. It was a complicated surgery, and the risk of losing his ability to move his face were great because of the way the tumor was situated. Thank the Lord his doctor is wise and experienced and Dad is well. He's shacked up at his house with his puppy dogs and a fridge full of Ensure and pudding and yogurt. He's sore but not in pain. Whew.

My husband did the dishes and washed the kitchen floors.

My kids are sleeping souundly in their comfy beds, happy and clean.

Tonight I threw away half a granola bar. I was trying to eat it because I took a bite...then I thought...I don't want that...why don't I just throw it away? Buh bye, empty calories!!! That felt good.

The big zit on my forehead is going away! And on the bright side, my bangs covered it anyway! We had a firedrill at work today and all had to go outside so I saw people I hadn't seen in a while. THREE people at work stopped by my office after the firedrill and told me I looked good - wanted to know what the heck I'd been doing. Yee haw!

I tentatively broke 200 this morning (199.5). Sometimes I have a scale malfuntion!

I feel smaller and no longer have to wear plus sizes.

I am waiting to buy a swimsuit, even though they are all coming out at the stores. Why is the positive? Well, I don't want to buy one, if I am going to need a size smaller in the next month!!!! DUH :biggrin1:

I have healthy kids and a sweet supportive husband.

Thanks for this thread. Shawn

      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.
