Fat confessionals

[tcon 305]

It's such a weird sensation! I still feel "fat!" But I've lost 71 pounds since 1/20/15. I went from a size 20 and am now fitting into a size 7/8! I struggle with trying to reconcile how quickly my body is changing and how I see myself! I am so happy with my decision to have surgery, but it's hard to adjust the "fat" mindset! I find that I am no longer buying multiple colors of the same shirt!! I didn't even realize I did that until I started getting rid of old clothes!!! I too hated shopping! Congrats to everyone on the start of their new lives!

Great Job!!! And you definitely don't look fat. How long did it take you to lose 70 pounds?

You look amazing miss Kimmy, I want to be the equivalent male version of that lmao, I need a little more than 100 lbs to go, but I'm way ahead of schedule so I'm not sweating it, and I do expect it to get harder to lose...........

@ No, do not cry! I felt that same way when I was with my kids, I didn't want to embarrass them. My mom is super morbidly obese and one of my earliest memory's was having a parents come to school day which my mother attended ( she is an artist, painter) After she left one of the little kids said something to me about how big my mom was. We were only 5-7 years old. I never realized my mom was different, I just loved her. I remember that really caught me off guard and I went home and cried which in return made my momma cry. I think that kinda stuck with me so When I was at my heaviest I didn't go up to the school unless I absolutely had to. Most of my daughters friends had never met me. A few months ago my daughter was in a "grace notes" competition for school and I got dressed up and went to watch her. After the competition was over on the way home my daughter said "mom you want to hear something funny?" After you left my friend said "I hope this doesn't offend you but your mom looks like a Barbie doll". Ha! Can you believe it??! I just smiled and said "whatever" but on the inside I was fist pumping ! That my friend was one heck of a NSV!!! You too will have your moments, just wait!

This is one of the first things on my "why I'm doing this" list. My daughter is 3, and I don't want her to ever be embarrassed of me because of my weight.

I literally only have 4 shirts that fit and 1 pair of pants. I had my baby 7 weeks before wls. I am already older (37) and I want to be around for her. I also don't want her to be embarrassed of me. I am down 90 pounds in total and 54 since day of surgery. Only 55 more to go until goal (I am almost 3 months out ). Last week I was able to buy button down shirts that were not plus sized. So exciting

@@tcon it's taken about a year to lose 70 pounds. I lost 11 in the 6 months leading up to surgery and 10 on the preop diet. I've lost the other 49 in the 6 months postop! It's been slow and steady all the way! So not complaining!!!

Hello friend, thanks for sharing your problem with us. Look, don't let yourself down, weight is not a big issue I guess, now days we can easily gain and loss our weights. About scrub uniforms, I would like to say there are many sizes with trendy colors and styles available in the stores, so don't worry at all. As my friend is working in a medical profession, he told me few important site to grab new scrubs with best quality.
