Y I need to lose weight



Recommended Posts

I have been a big girl my entire life. I dont know how it feels to be fit, and finally fit in. my weight has made me very self consious and has affected my life. I am 20 years old I feel this is the time I should be enjoying life, but so far I havent.

Im tired of going to the nightclub and being that girl holding purses, I want to be the center of attention! I want to be that girl that guys check out when I enter.

Not only has my weight been affecting my social life but also my love life. I get really jealous when my boyfriend adds thin girls on Facebook. when I show my boyfriend to someone they say "oh his hot...well u have a cute face" what does that mean???!!!

Im hoping that losing weight will change the way I feel about my self, and actually enjoy life, cause im really tired saturday nights watching tv. The stories I have read in this site, and the before and after pics have been very inspirational I cant wait to post pics like that :)

its great that you are finally begining the new chapter of your life, you'll get there, just keep it up. I know what it feels like to have a man that looks good and you feel like you dont match him. i'm constantly worried that other women are checking him out and think that because im fat that they could get him if they want to. thankfully i know that my husband loves me how i am, but i know he'l love it when i'm hot again too! heres to being the hot girl again!

With the weight loss does come some confidence and adventure, but there are also a lot of people who still have body image issues after the weight is gone. It is somewhat likely that you will feel the same jealousy after the weight is gone. Make sure you try to schedule some group therapy or something while you are going through your journey. It is really helpful for those who can't let go of the "big girl" monologue in their head.

Good luck!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
