Did anything good happen as a over weight person?

I put up this subject cuz I feel like we beat our self up all the time but there has to be something good that happen during the time we were overweight. Let me start off...

1. I had my last 2 kids being fat

2. I was fat when I got married

3. I enjoy my food

4. Nothing was hanging on my body

5. My hair was super long & thick

6. Didn't have dry skin.

7. Big boobs

8. Big butt

No, nothing really good. I've been alone my whole life, certainly not an attractive person and my self esteem is non-existent. I'm 44 and had surgery on August 26. I need to change, I will never be pretty, but I hope to improve by losing 100 lbs. I do have a great family and best friend, and people like me, but it's not enough. I need to like myself, right now I don't.

My husband and my baby are my biggest blessings pre-surgery. So yes, good things did happen before WLS.

Other than that, no, I was an obese, depressed, always at odds with myself individual.

I am thankful for my kids pre surgery. But life did suck. I was a couch potatoe who was moody. I'm a better mom know that the weight is off to be sure.

I got married to a man who loves me no matter what size I am, and have 4 beautiful girls who love and support me and Im very thankful for that and many other things.

I found out where some people hearts were. While this was sometimes a painful experience, it was none the less enlightening.
