Ah jeez....

looking at your last blog entry, all I can say is that you really need to quit internalizing these forum posts. A generic comment on body types doesn't necessarily reflect directly upon you.

If you're happy with yourself, what does it matter if some random people don't agree with you -- especially if they're living quite literally halfway around the world? Screw 'em. Take a look in the mirror, have the last laugh and go enjoy your life.

So, having comments left on your blog calling you an anorexic whore wouldn't bother you? How about the one calling you a "show off". Or what about being called a skinny bitch?

I don't care who you are, or where in the world you live, no one deserves to be called those sorts of names for no good reason.

But thank you for your concern.

First of all - being the same height and weight as someone doesn't mean you necessarily look anything like them.

Most people at the same weight and height are somewhere near the same size. The shape may be totally different, but two people of the same weight and height will be able to get into the same clothes.

I have no idea what you look like. Doesn't matter to me. If I think you're skinny, it doesn't make your life any different. If I think you're fat, it doesn't matter. If I think you're too short/tall/pale/tan... you get the idea. I think the Olsen twins look unhealthy.

No? You don't know what I look like? I know what you look like, your pic is in your AV, just like mine was in my sig.

The media have a very nasty habit of printing only the photos with the most dramatic effect. Therefore, you will only see photos of them without makeup, in baggy clothes, taken from a bad angle so they can say "See! They are pale, and skinny" I bet you a dollar that if I was to post a pic, taken from a bad angle of me in baggy clothes with no makeup I would look pale and skinny too.

But that's a whole other thread! LOL.

"Fat" and "skinny" are only insults if that's how they're meant to be. When I say that I am fat, I am not insulting myself, I am describing one of my physical characteristics, just as if I said "tall" or "redhead." Same with "skinny." They're just adjectives.

Maybe you can be that pragmatic about being called fat, but I could never be. I never liked it. Being called a fat cow botherd me. Being called an anorexic whoe bothers me. So for me, skinny, is no different.

There are journals on LBT, but the blog being talked about is my blogspot blog.

I know this to be not necessarily true, at least in my case. Unless you don't define "getting into" the same clothes as the same as having the clothes actually fit. People are often shaped very much differently than one another, even at similar weights and heights.

blog is an abbreviation of the term weblog. A lot of people use them as a online personal journalling type thing. Chickie had the url of hers in her signature up until a few days ago. You might want to look it up on wikipedia.org for more info....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
