What did you just call me?



Recommended Posts

Since I have reached my goal weight I am profoundly appreciative of the words people use to describe me;

Slim(heard this a few times)

Thin - Wow!

Fit - now this one I am shocked at, I have never before been fit.

Teenie Tiny - this one is funny!

What words have people used to describe you? Are you amazed, shocked, happy, grateful or do you even not believe it.

I've heard thin, slimming down, skinny best I can recall. I'm now in the "how much more do you plan to lose" phase because-- I apparently don't need to lose any more according to others.

Tiny tot. Lol. It was a guy at work who hadn't seen me in 6 months. I was down 50lbs at that point. No one really noticed until then.

Teeny tiny is what I hear most often. My boys who I see every few months are the most shocked by my weight loss. They have only ever known me as obese so they both are freeked out and tell me I am too skinny.

Oh and because I am tall I have heard a few references to my old favorite string bean. (Before I had my children I was tall an stick thin and was called string bean relentlessly by class mates)

If only I had know how much I would appreciate being called a string bean now. I have worked hard for it so I just smile when it happens.

My dermatologist who sees me every 10 weeks is shocked at how "teeny tiny" I am. He saw me at my worst in the hospital, 315lbs with a infection that could have taken my life so we are very close. He saved my life once literally.

Wait until he sees me in August! I had my first plastics and he is going to be happily shocked at the results.

People call me skinny, or tiny but I'm still not really. I'm a size 12 but I'm just built big and I'm muscular. But the most important thing to me is that I'm strong, fit, and healthy so I'll take it.

People have started to call me all of the things you all have mentioned. Its weird because I do not see myself that way. My favorite was an old high school classmate said I looked "so healthy". I loved that comment because that really resonated with how I feel.

Tiny and slim and the most famous questions how much more are you going to loose you look great stay at this weight. I went from a size 36 pants to a size 12 pants by standard I still need to loose 28 pounds but my doctors and everyone says I look great and don't loose anymore .

Skinny. I get called this all the time, although I am most definitely not skinny (5'8" and 181 lbs), but I'll take it.

I recently got called a "spinner", by a female co-worker, lol.

And a make co-worker called me a "hot piece of a**" - I think he was joking :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
