Fallenangel2904 494 Posted December 25, 2012 I only have one confession. I've grazed a lot the past few days and even had take out the other night (nothing bad just chicken and broccoli) but the sodium must have been HIGH because it said I gained 2lbs today. In 2 days. I know it's Water weight but UGH that pissed me off a lot. And I've fallen victim to the holidays also with running around, shopping, tastes of things that I shouldn't have. I know a bite of a cookie didn't cause me to gain 2lbs BUT I feel like that was the universe saying okay STOP NOW! Kind of cant wait for the holidays to be over!! 2 Goodnurseg and cmf1267 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel2904 494 Posted December 25, 2012 There are so many problems in my marriage and i put up with a lot because of how i look ---note the profile pic. I allowed my weight to be an excuse for settling for someone to mistreat me. Um all I see in that picture is a hot, curvy, gorgeous woman! Seriously! I know how it feels to gain a lot of weight, you still picture yourself as you were in your head and when you look in the mirror it's a painful blow. The truth is you need to come to a point where you love yourself regardless of size because if you don't love yourself it won't be a priority for someone else to love an treat you well (I know it sounds like the famous Jerry Springer line lol) but its very true! Truth is there is beauty in us all at every size. We need to see it. I honestly see a beautiful woman when I look at your picture- I WISH i was blessed with that shape! I hope you can try to see your beauty so you can see your worth. Happy holidays! 1 diamondkized reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeriouslyChange 319 Posted December 25, 2012 I confess that I ate with my family for Christmas dinner.< /p> I confess that after eating, I kinda doubt my surgeon really did the surgery because of the amount of food I could eat. Given it was soft but... I still have my doubts I confess I'm pissed that my period is LATE! I confess that my clothes are bigger on me but I'm sad that no one comments about it I confess that my best friend from work, a fellow big girl, is now ignoring me after telling me that I'm gonna end up a skinny b*tch. I had no idea how this would change things. I knew it would happen but I thought she and I were closer than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She gets all weird with me in the break room when I eat my egg for lunch and starts trying to start something. I don't get it. She told me she was considering lapband. So I told her I was considering sleeve. How odd. I have noticed that I am a bit more confident now, lol. I think I'm oh so sexy when I walk out the door. It's a nice feeling since I've always been down on myself about my weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted December 26, 2012 I totally confess that I reverted to past habits before surgery for the Xmas holiday. I ate fudge and grazed for the past 4 days. I am totally avoiding the scale because I don't think I can handle seeing that I gained a lb. Today I am getting back on track........Here goes.......

cakelover 4 Posted December 26, 2012 I was sleeved on the 10th and... 1. I kick myself for not waiting until after the holiday 2. I am having some major mood swings that i think are tied to my lack of crab legs and red lobster 3. I think my marriage will change for the worse because of this surgery. 4. I look at my chest to see if they are getting smaller -i swear that they are smaller:( 5. I am scared to go to work and hear someone say -did they cancel the surgery cause you look the same From what I can see of your profile pic, you are a very attractive woman. No one should ever put up with being mistreated, ever! As for your work-mates, they can kiss your fine, curvy, beautiful you know what 1 diamondkized reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ola Tess 21 Posted December 27, 2012 I love looking at all these and I'm sure mine are the same. I've been reading all the confessions and I'm now 1 mo out so now I feel like I can join in. 1. I eat too fast 2. I never never get enough Water 1-2 bottles:( 3. I wonder if its ok that I can eat absolutely Anything in small quantities ? 4. I weigh myself everyday even though the scale didn't move for 2 wks! 5. I'm ready to go back to work but a little worried on how it's going to be. An I gonna be tired and can I stop and eat when I need? 6. I don't exercise at all yet unless I'm Christmas shopping! So gotta start getting a gameplan Thanks;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsflyboybs 62 Posted December 27, 2012 I confess I drink wine everyday. It's the only way I can eat (I've been having issues with nausea since my surgery in April , I dull the nausea in order to eat. I confess I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety once I started losing weight ( because I work a high stress job as an EMT and I can't eat my feelings). I much rather have food than meds. : ( I confess I have NO IDEA what to say to people when they say " yeah, I need to lose weight too". Should I agree or smile and nod? I confess that I'm scared that if and when I get prego that I won't be able to carry a healthy baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful with the wine - you might be numbing your emotions as well as the nausea.... 2. I think a smile and nod is non-committal enough to still be polite. 3. Don't stress about the baby. The most important thing you can do is take care of yourself. (And sometimes, what is unexpected, can turn out to be a wonderful lesson in life. I hope that's not preachy - it's just my personal experience). I wish you all the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
