Do U Ever Ask Yourself Why



Recommended Posts

I'm having a moment where I'm asking myself how did I ever let myself go like this. Why would I? I don't have any psychological reason of why I'm fat. I just love food. Its so yummy. If doritos tasted like lettuce... I wouldn't eat them. Do u ever feel like that

oh all the time, I would beat myself up about it. I am just glad I finally took the steps I needed to do to finally get help! I know people would look at me and say, "how did you ever let yourself get this big". It can happen, I never thought I would be this big, never! When I use to weigh in my 200's I would say I will never get to 250, then when I was 250 I would say I will never get to 300. I really started to weigh over 300 the last year. My body seemed to be comfortable at 280-289 for over 10 years.

Last year in april is when i started to tip the scales sloooowly over 300. I saw 304, than 310 and by October 2011 I weighed in at 367. I also was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in November of 2011 and wondering if that played a big role in that big weight jump. Either way, no more excuses I am sooo done with carrying this load....

I ask myself this all the time... Especially when I see pictures of myself from a few years ago! Do you ever get embarrassed about your "skinnier" pictures? :-/

There are days where it's tough to see closet full of smaller clothes that I use to wear. I try to use that as an incentive!

Being 25 and overweight is hard. I recently noticed that when I started gaining weight, I distanced myself from friends. All I ever hang out with is my boyfriend and my mom. I hope that after I loose some weight, I will be proud to reconnect with my friends. I am 216 and 5'2. I can't even imagine life under 200 at this point!

I've distanced myself from doing things also because I don't want to be embarrassed if I can't fit into a seat... or if I look around and I'm the fattest in the room. Not to mwntion i have no cute clothes anymore. Hell.. I've already made it clear when I get my grove back... ITS ON!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
