Be honest, did your thin fantasy come true after you lost the weight?



Recommended Posts

We all know what they are right?

I'll be more confident

I won't be embarrassed in public any more (not fearing booths, airplane, seats, stairs etc)

My social life will improve

My dating life will improve

My relationships will improve

I'll look stylish and not uncomfortable in clothes (more clothing options, confident)

I'll show more of my true self and stop altering who i am so people will accept me

I will maintain a healthy lifestyle

I won't be obsessed with food

I will live in the now i.e i'll go camping when i lose weight, i'll go out dancing when i lose weight etc

.................I could go on forever. What fantasies do harbor about being slimmer. What came true and what didn't? Why?

startingoveryetagain

of course i'll be honest silly head ;)

all of my "fantasies came true"

dating improved?.................

hmmmm - DH wouldn't approve :lol:

actually............

i am still kindof obsessed with food :angry:

Obviously its in a different way

i don't think about all the "yummies, junk food et al" that i will be eating during the day

i think about what i'll be eating, watching what i eat etc - but good stuff - how/what i'll eat to continue to be successful at pushing 2 years post op and goal

I still weigh daily, works for me

Obsessed??? "maybe alittle", but i need to stay on "top of things" for me!!!

good luck

My fantasy was to wear a size 6. Last month, I was shopping at Old Navy. Took 2 pairs of white skinny jeans into the dressing room, 8's and 10's (knowing the 8's probly wouldn't fit but hopeful). I walked outa the store with a 6! I think they were mistagged - they were in clearance. It's the only 6's I can wear, but my fantasy definitely came true. They were only $8 but I probly would've paid $100 for em! They are definitely my fav pants now - just cuz they're a 6!

Dreams really do come true! And I'm still 26 lbs from goal so I have many more to come. Maybe a size 4 in my future? Unreal!

YES, YES, YES!! Everything you said above has come true and my favorite is love shopping for new clothes now!! I have hated shopping all my life because we know the kind of clothes that are on the fat racks are not stylish, trendy, or cute!! I have gone from a size 26 to a 10 (8 will zip and button but too tight to wear yet) and I am in love with shopping! The only thing that is not true is getting rid of the obsession with food as proud Grammy mentioned... I think more about food now than I use to because I am always planning ahead and researching foods and nutritional values. It is different but I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I love living my skinny fantasies and am amazed daily at the changes in my life!! :D

It has exceeded my wildest dreams... however, being thin does NOT guarantee happiness or that you will like your life. It has improved my life so much because i feel so much better and can do so much more. I wear size 8 pants and i think i might be in a 6 after plastics... quite a change from my all time high of wearing 3x. I think I once owned a pair of 32W pants... yikes.

Anyway, I think no matter what your size and weight, happiness does need to come from within.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
