My best friend does this! She has 4 kids. Not one stretch mark and is a size 2 I think maybe a 4.... And I tell her how I'm feeling sometimes and she says she knows I feel cuz this is the biggest she has ever been. It makes me so mad!

Yeah, one I had a friend complain to me because she had a 27" waist. "OMG! I'm huge!"

It's a passive-aggressive version of the humble brag.

Perspective is reality. Their perspective of themselves is their reality. I never got it either until I started really losing weight. For them going up at all is getting fat. For us we long to be where they are and that is our perspective based on our reality.

I hear you Dub, but still, couldn't they show some compassion to us struggling with real weight issues?

My assistant ask me every day how much I've lost and it's getting old. She is a stick and complains about her weight to me every day after she is done questioning me. It gets to be a 30 minute monolog every time, since I have no more interest in answering her never ending rude invasion of my privacy.

Yup. Not accountable to anyone for the exception of my surgeon, nut and myself.

I was going to say the same thing. Wait until you hit your goal weight and you gain 5 pounds. You feel HUGE, even though you know you're not, lol. It's a really weird thing that happens.

I'm hoping all of you will get to experience it ;)

Agreed. I've turned into the smaller one who complains about every ounce gained. Bitterly. I try to be aware, but sometimes it just creeps out.

And to people who never knew me 112 pounds ago? I am sure it sounds like I am fishing for compliments when in reality, I know exactly how THEY feel and exactly how I do. :D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
