Coworkers Want To Know What Your Highest Wt Was!



Recommended Posts

Ok..so I get it...I guess I would be curious too! But...I love how one of my coworkers asked how much I had lost ( I'm ok with that) ..then asked whaty goal to lose was and I knew she was adding the numbers in her head to get how much I weigh now!!! Rude! So of course I lied and gave her a bogus number..teehee for me! I could tell by the look on her face that her numbers just didn't add up in her head! Nosey Rosie..that's what you get!! LOL

I have no problem telling anyone who will listen what I weighed, how much I have lost or what my goal is. I hope my being open will help others make the decision to help themselves improve their health and well being.

I am very careful who I am totally truthful with. It's not like they don't have eyes and probably figured out a ball park figure. I am trying to focus on the compliments I am getting with new outfits!!!

I used to be very concerned with what others thought of me, but I try to only focus on the positive now and just shake my head at the negative and not dwell on it. It's just not worth it!!

This is an issue that has come up in my mind quite a bit. I'm only 5 weeks out and haven't decided how to handle this. I ultimately want to lose 150 to 160 pounds. If people ask Mr and I tell them, they will be able to guess with some sense of accuracy that I was around the 300 pound mark give or take. I've never admitted my true weight to anyone in real life but my bff. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with people knowing it. Not that it's any secret I'm fat. One look and you know.

That's great Kimmy! Keeps you on track I'm sure. For me..I am more of a private kind of person! This particular person is a gossip so I felt the need to fudge the numbers around a bit! But my family and hubby know all my stats!

      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. 🤞
