Going Incognito Without Trying



Recommended Posts

I have decided one of the most amusing aspects of losing a ton of weight is the ability to go incognito without even trying. Multiple times over the last 6 months, I have run into people from my past who had no idea who I was until I told them. In fact, my own aunt didn't even recognize me!

Now, when this is becomes fun is when you run into someone you don't like.

Today, I was at the grocery store with my boyfriend. We turned down the aisle and I immediately saw this woman from my past and went out loud "oh sh*t". My boyfriend gave me an odd look and I just shook my head. I almost turned away from the aisle to avoid her but then thought....hmmmm....I bet she won't even recognize me.

Sure enough, she ended up right next to me. She even looked right at me. Absolutely zero recognition. She had no idea who I was. I was able to walk right by her without so much as a second glance.

Going incognito without even trying is seriously awesome :D

I have had the same experiences.... Hubby and I walked into a fav restaurant where we frequent just last week and a woman looked right at him and said.... Where is your wife? I was standing right next to him!!!

And one of the employees at resort we go to once a year in Jamaica asked him if he had a new wife...LOL

      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.
