today, just once accept yourself as is

right this very moment, you are who you are

every pound

every inch is you

i myself have a hard time dealing with looking in the mirror as i hate who i see, the size, the girth.

i feel the outside world is judging me for that appearance and judging me because i am obese/fat/overweight

seems that the ones who need to accept ourselves the most is ourselves.

Remember we all are unique.

There's not one person like us.

No one has your fingerprints,

only you.

Isn't that amazing, all the people in the world, present or past, and you are different.

That's what makes us SPECIAL

Love your uniqueness!

I am special!

Thats why you have to like what you have on the inside.

I don't think we'll ever look in a mirror and totally love what we see. I just look this morning and said to myself "yep, your face is getting thinner, but now you need a facelift, which isn't going to happen".

I also know I will not like looking at my saggy skin, but I'll like covering that up.

Can't cover up my face. LOL

Point is, I will never be a 10, but I love who I am! I AM SPECIAL!

That day is closer than you imagine.

One day I looked in the mirror and smiled, I thought wow I have really done this and I look good.

Trust me, it will happen!

NC is one of my favorite vacation spots. It would not hurt me in the least to come up there and kick ass.

I remember being 16yo and 122 and thinking I was so fat and going on a strick diet. Now 40 yrs later, the rest of the story.....

Amen, my selfesteem issues led me into an abusive relationship for 8 years. I had to learn to love myslef more than I loved him and to love my children more than I loved myself. No amoumt of weight loss can teach us this lesson. Its time to get butt naked, stand in the mirror (open your eyes ;) ) and say this is me!!!

And I don't have far to come! It takes a long time to see yourself differently. Even now at times I see myself still at 256! Look for NSVs. Like getting into and out of the car, a booth in a restaurant. squeezing through spaces I did not think I would fit!

You are doing great girl!

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
