Pregnant I might have been able to laugh off, I'm 72. Had a little kid ask me "Are you fat or are you a woman? If his mama wasn't near I might have suggested he go play in traffic, but wouldn't 've able to live with,myself if that happened. Maybe he just didn't have" no upbringin' " as my grandma would say.

Today I'm looking forward to:

Not feeling fat

Buying small clothes

Making people wonder how I did it

Seeing an old boyfriend by chance while looking all slim and gorgeous

Working out without a huge tshirt on to cover all my stuff

Wearing full seat riding breeches that fit and don't look like 10 pounds of sausage in a 9 pound bag

And a Big Amen from Me, I would love some pictures of me showing. a beautiful new covering where my old cracked turtleshell once was, faint- shades instead of vibrant and shining. I always suspected I would be pretty, charming and could rock the "senior set" on their heels. Cutie Pie is emerging out of a vanilla Big Mama. Is it too much to ask that I no longer look like someone's dowdy old Granny?

My double chin and belly to shrink, also my hunchback to disappear and my skin to lighten up. Overall just feeling comfortable and no pains.

Funny, I have always wanted some Glamour Shots myself, although at my "OMG You're Not Dead Yet?" age am I being foolish? You see, I may be feeling I have more right to them. Deep inside I have felt cool, competent and sexy all along, it just had SO FAR and so much to work through to surface out!

Society has poisoned women into thinking we have an expiration date, so I'm delighted to know that you think otherwise. Every line, wrinkle, or oddly-shaped blob is a badge with a worthy history. Think of all the people who never make it past their childhood or young adulthood or who die before their time. (I know you had a son, Kevin, who passed away; children should NEVER go before a parent; I have a son named Kevin, too, by the way... my youngest medical doctor.)

I am looking forward to:

  • My blood pressure being normal. Anxiety makes it rise and I know my weight doesn't help. I'm on medication for anxiety, but the weight doesn't help.
  • Horse-back riding! I've loved horses since I was a little girl and I've always wanted to learn how to ride.
  • Feeling stronger! When I lost 90lbs, I felt so much stronger and almost never out of breath.
  • Feeling cute / better self-esteem.
  • Buying cute clothes, being able to dress how I want to.
  • Having more respect in the workplace

      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.
