What's *good* about being fat?



Recommended Posts

No one ever needs to know your name

I have been Big Guy, Big Fella, Big Boy (mostly the English), Gordito (only the spanish), I started wearing Big Dog shirts (because tall and fat stores sold them) and become "The Big Dog", now I am fairly addicted to Big Daddy tshirts...so i've become..."Big Daddy".

Most of our clothes doubly nicely as a tent or sleeping bag for our loved ones.

So I gave this some thought.

1. We understand that being fat does not mean that we are dirty, smelly, lazy, gross, or slobs. Sadly it is how we are judged by some people, but not by fellow plus size floks.

2. We have a lot of compassion for others who are not considered 'cool' or 'beautiful' by society standards.

3. We can show our true beauty through our actions and words, rather than misleading looks.

4. We have a great online board that is full of wonderful, helpful and compassionate people.

5. Most people will not start fights with us in fear of getting their butt kicked.

6. Big girls have smaller chance of getting raped.

7. We are better cooks.

8. We don't gain attention from men by dressing like sluts, well most of us anyway.

You can hide things on your person or even in your FUPA.

LOL. I did this JUST today. I stayed up too late last night on the computer, so I went to take an afternoon nap in my car at work. I hid the keys in the waistband of my skirt. On the way back, I was in the restroom and I looked in the mirror. You couldn't see the keys. I was thinking to myself, "LOL. how am I gonna hide these when I'm skinnier?"

Ok. Let's see. You have never embarrassed/made angry your significant other by asking "Do these jeans/pants/skirt make me look fat?"

Oh. and I'm off to look at the list to see what FUPA means. LOL

      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.
