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!

        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.

      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
