5 Confessions (Join In)

[shabbychicprincess 19]

I confess that I think about food too much and spend hours in bed at night when I'm supposed to be asleep, looking at recipes online .

I confess that I hate being near my husband and son now when they eat , because they shovel so much food in their mouths and eat like pigs .

I confess that I feel more sexier now and more adventurous but yet it cuts deep when my husband says things to me like " you feel like a shell of a person " . When asked what he meant he said my body was firm before but now I feel squishy .

I had two squares of Hershey's white chocolate..

[spieldose 14]

That was strangely therapeutic... So I have more.

1. I get pissed when people that are under 200 lbs have or talk about having weight loss surgery.

2. I get mad at myself for eating more than 600 calories. Day... When I could put back over 5,000 calories without my sleeve.

3. I know the sleeve is working for me, but I get jealous of people on here that lost ridiculous amounts of weight their first month (50+ lbs? I can only hope).

4. I am scared that I will become a b***h and leave my fiancé when I'm skinny if he's still overweight...

5. I am scared that when I have babies I will gain all my weight back and I will be fat for the rest of my life.

I confess that I thought this would be a good thing but in fact, it has turned my life upside down. Other than online and at the surgeon's office, no one gets it.

I confess that I'm feeling completely unhinged. Mental. Crazy cakes. Ask my husband who, after an intense argument, just told me he feels as if our entire relationship is hopeless- because I genuinely can't see -any- change in my body. He can't do crazy. I don't blame him- I don't want to do it either. I'd rather have him happy without me than miserable with me.

I confess that people who are motivated to exercise (hardcore) both anger and astound me. Then I feel worse about the walking I do every day. It's not what they're doing, so why bother? So I put it off until I feel guilty as sin. Then I push myself until I'm sick. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I confess that my honest sharing online has inadvertently led to people feeling like they are less than I am. I cry about it. I feel so guilty that I don't want to post, because I -never- want to make -anyone- feel less than wonderful.

(This was scary, but I promised my therapist I'd keep participating. So, I'm sorry if I've angered or offended anyone in the process.)

[fyre_storm 1,412]

I'm afraid of complications and worry all day/night 4.5 weeks out.

I'm afraid I'm losing weight too fast. I've lost 30 lbs in 4.5 weeks.

I'm terrified my partner will leave me when I get skinny.

I can't wait to be skinny so I can have more job Opportunities.

I can not wait for ppls reactions when I show up to my reunion skinny. I have made it a goal not to post pictures or have pictures of me up on Facebook till then.

I'm sorry you can't see any change in your body. It's because you've seen yourself every single day and in your mind, you look the same. I promise you other people definitely see the change. Maybe you won't see it until you're near goal... Who knows? The scale tells the truth though. And please never stop posting. I enjoy everything you have to say.

I confess that at 3 months out, I still eat too much. So much that I threw up again yesterday from eating too much too fast. That makes me feel like a failure.

I ate a sliver of birthday cake at work and it went down good!

I can't visualize myself thin either. I'm supposed to loose another 60 lbs to reach my "goal" and I can't even imagine what the will look like or feel like

I'm thankful for this forum because there is no where else in my life where people would understand what I'm going through.

[JanaLee 24]

Love this thread because my confessions are like many...

Confession 1... My biggest fear is that I did this surgery for nothing....I won't achieve my goal weight.

Confession 2....I compare my weight loss to others on here & I usually feel like a failure. I'm 19 lbs down since Nov. 6 & experiencing my first stall while many others are down so much more.

Confession 3... It's very hard to get all my Water & Protein in which is probably the reason for my stall.

Confession 4.... I've never been skinny in my adult life, and I'm very excited!

Confession 5....I wish the next year would hurry up so I could see my progress.... I know that my fears were silly.
