Screw It! I'm Ready For This!

Tracey,

I've seen a number of your posts...and every time I see one I think --"she is so pretty!!"

I laughed and laughed at your funeral worry.... I have the exact same thoughts....I have forbid Jay to have an open coffin...oh and I think about how big the coffin would have to be.

What a miserable way to live .... but I can laugh about it. I've always been able to laugh about miserable things and it isn't to hide the pain. I don't hide my pain!!! EVERYBODY knows I hate being fat because I tell them all the freakin time!

Dana, you just MADE MY DAY! Thank you! We are now life long friends. You laughed at my joke and you said I was pretty... I think it is great to be able to laugh at ourselves, even when we have pain in our lives. It is therapeutic. I always say, "well we could either laugh about this or cry". I definitely would rather laugh, it is much more fun than walking around feeling sorry for ourselves. Although, I do like to hold a good pity party for myself every once in a while!

Well no worries about your husband having to fit you for a special oversized coffin or have a closed casket. I seriously doubt you will die having this surgery. You are going to ROCK your new sleeve. We will both have to revise our funeral plans for wearing something FABULOUS when the time comes....which I hope will be a really, really, really long time from now!

I had my surgery 5/30/12 and I can relate to all of this! I don't regret the surgery at all! It saved me from being obsessed with being fat the rest I my life. Now I have a chance to redeem some of my life! Let me just say that is a tool, as they say.. Not a soulution. As a self-declared "food addict" the urge is still there to overeat and that is a mental issue that I deal with EVERY day. It does get easier however as time goes by. I've lost 45 pounds so far and have more energy than ever before!! It's totally up to me now how I treat my body... No more blame, no more excuses. I'm done with all of that!!! Now it's "me" time!! I am worth it and I deserve to be healthy and happy... For ME ❤
