Who Can Guess My Weight Loss? Need Your Help!

[doxieville 799]

Thank you all for your kind words. My husband and I have discussed it and he is just worried that I will be uncomfortable. He knows me and how I think. If I am overly self-conscious about how I look' date=' I won't have a good time. If I'm not having a good time, neither will he. I would love for this to be the start of a new sex (what?) filled relationship for us with plane rides (what?) and everything!

Yes! Lose the weight and join the 'Mile High Club!!'

Uh....that IS what you meant, right?? LOL!! Sorry, couldn't resist!

I think I kinda see where you are coming from thinking wise. So my advice is just work on losing what you can and decide later if you want to expose yourself to her disgusting, ignorant ridicule. Just remember, if she acts like that, then she's the one making a fool of herself, not you.

Doxie, I'd love to think that was even an option in the future! Right now I'm just worried about the seatbelt!

I would sure hate to have that kind of "time pressure" - reminds me of my many failed attempts at dieting.

Honestly after losing any amount of weight you are going to be full of self confidence. You do not have to be at goal to feel that way. Go and have a great time! If your having fun so will your husband.

Ahhhh, the dreaded work trip....I remember those days! I can totally relate to what you are saying! I hated going on the work trips that my husband earned. I would go and smile and pretend I was having fun but deep down inside I hated the way I looked and I was so embarrassed to be there. I know my husband didn't think anything of it and he was thrilled to have me by his side yet that didn't change how I felt about myself.

I just looked at my notebook and my 3 months out I lost 48 pounds. I agree with what some others have said that any weight that any amount of weight you lose will help boost your confidence and you will feel so much better. I also agree that if you start now you will have have a great head start before your surgery.

My husband earned a (work) family trip to Disney last year and I was down over 50 pounds and it was wonderful! I felt so much better and I know a lot of people didn't recognize me on the trip. This December we will be going on another (work) trip and I have lost almost all of my weight and this is a trip I am excited about! I don't have any of the fears I used to have. It will be fun to pack and to get dressed every day on this trip! I can't wait....

I completely understand how you are feeling. Just know that you are not alone. You have so much to look forward to in the future, a whole new life is ahead of you!
