I know we've been banded and i know we're gonna be healthy and beautiful... but i think the message in this ad is awesome about self acceptance regardless/.... we've beaten ourselves up for way too long, and how about loving yourself thin... i mean accept you have your faults, take time to work on them, smooth out the crinkles and it will come in time.. but we are all beautiful in our own way and fat, skinny, tall, short, black , white, purple, it's important to recognise your diamonds (the things that make you shine) ...

anyways thats my touchy feely ness for today..

love

jess

Great ad and so true. You know what annoys me, why does target rarely advertise the bigger size clothes you get pages and whole catalogues dedicated to skinny people but usually just a note at the bottom to say yes fat clothes on sale to. Is it the dirty little secret that alot of women are plus size? We only have target in geraldton so I dont know about the rest.

Bring on the fashionable clothes!!! you are on your way I have to wait til March but I have waited this long so its really not far at all. I hate it when I do get to Perth usually for work and I have a friend with me and they are going into skinny boutiques going "this looks big why dont you try it on!!" Yeah perhaps on my toe lady!!!

but I smile politely and say "oh I dont really need anything today".

Hey, how come the fat girl clothes are always at the back of Target and not at the front like the "Hot Options" stuff. Why do they get such a kitsch name for their skinny bitch clothes and we get "Options Plus". Since when did we have options?? Oh, and Big Advantage? What advantages do we have? Sorry if I offended anyone, it just gets my goat!

Man, I could go on ALL day! BTW I'm so glad they changed BIG city chic to just City Chic.

AND why when you go to Katies do they give you a bag with 16/26 in huge words across the bag. Do the skinny people have their size emblazoned all over the bag no!!. You might as well put a sign on your head "fat person shopping" (I think they changed the name but why cant it just be Katies like everyone else)

I hear ya greeneyez I could go on all day too.

Its my birthday today and I just got through a dinner that could have been laden with calories only eating turkey and salad. Believe me I picked up the pizza and then thought is worth feeling bad later? No, so I put it down. I was forced to have some of my birthday cake but for someone that could eat a whole pizza without too much difficulty I think I did well.

      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.
