Least favorite thing: my thighs applaud when I run!

That's hilarious!! I literally laughed out loud! One of your favorite things is one of the things I hate. I can't stand it when people think I'm not me. My husband has been the talk of every party/function we go to. People think he is cheating.

I dont' know about women, but there are entire subset of gay men who are into bigger guys, especially if they're hairy (usually called "bears"). When I started gaining weight I was a real hit with these men. :blink:

My best guy friend is a bear & he is very happy with it, but I want him to lose cause he is only 30 & is a really bad diabetic.

I hear what your saying about "forgetting" to eat. And to think, I used to get pi**ed when someone would tell me they "forgot" to eat. I could have throttled them..now I get it!

I'm still waiting for surgery and no matter how many times I read it, the "forget to eat" comment seems ridiculous! I can't wait until I understand!

It's real and happens often when I get busy at work.

It's not so much that I forget. It's really that I just don't feel like it. You're not hungry and it's a bit of a chore early on to eat. It's real!

That is very true!

Today my favorite thing is being able to drink a cup of hot tea on a cold morning and being full from it.

My least favorite thing today is that my "I don't feel like eating" has started to disappear unless I am very busy. My bored eating is coming into play again and it is VERY scary! It is such a mind game we play sometimes!!

It's funny' date=' even though I KNOW I was fat...until I saw myself in a picture, the way I look 117 pounds lighter is how I always "saw" myself when I looked in the mirror. I know it's weird!

As far as the clothes go, I bought a lot a Goodwill and I still do.[/quote']

That's how I feel! I don't feel like the big girl....UNTIL I see a picture of myself. But that will soon chang!!!

Favorite-My clothes (now mostly goodwill and thrift stores) fit so much better, you can't beat 5.99 jeans and 2.99 denim skirts.

Least Favorite-When I was bigger and would go out walking when I crossed the street people would try to run me over. Now when I went for a run yesterday, several people backed up in the street and a few guys smiled and waved. WOW...Things I never noticed.

My favorite is that I am not hungry. Ever.

The worst is and may always be exercise! Although it is much easier than before, I still hate every single second of it.

Most favorite: Not being so physically limited! I am riding horses, can easily climb in and out of things etc. - just have normal physical abilities again!

Least favorite: I think facing the realities of long term / keeping the weight off.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
