How to deal with going to events



Recommended Posts

I understand the being "voluntold" thing. Army wife here. And i understand the not wanting to be at functions at a high weight. I was recently the Maid of Honor at my sister's wedding. Oh the pictures I wish I could burn of myself. But, I am going to view it as my "before" weight pictures and be excited at myself and my accomplishments. Those pictures will soon be a reminder of how far you've come. We can do it! Keep your chin up. :)

Don't you just love being volutold!? (Sarcasm lol) and I especially love how everything is mandatory. Like family day and the Christmas party is mandatory to attend (for my husband atleast). And then you can't leave until a certain time. Makes me not want to go haha

Pictures, pictures, pictures. I love them. My phone and FB is full of them. It is a visual journey, at times some pictures are hard to look at but I'm proud of how far I have came. Maybe it's vain but I will make an album of my journey. Be proud of who you are. You were brave enough to have the surgery...celebrate those little wins. Obviously your husband is proud of you. I'll bet he thinks he has one sexy wife!!! A dress and heels? I'm impressed. I'm more of a pink camo girl myself, lol.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
