ThinDolphin3 3 Posted May 4, 2008 My surgery is Thursday and I'm so nervous about this journey in my life I'm starting....I have always been the fat sister, friend, co worker, wife, stepmother....without the weight who am I??? I dont know how to be skinny. I actually had a dream last night that I was getting prepped for surgery and before they put me under i freaked out and said.." i cant do this" :ohmy:and I jumped off the table and ran out....I just did my before pics which are in the album I just created and NOW I remember why I'm doing this...I'm flippin huge!! I cant believe I let myself get this big etc. But I am still nervous about who am I if not the fat person.:confused2: Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Blessings to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristeyK 8 Posted May 4, 2008 I SOOOO kwym!!! Not only how not to be the fat girl, but also how to deal with the fact that as we get thin, how to deal with the attention we'll be getting.
