How NOT to let your relatives sabotage your success???



Recommended Posts

I tell them they can kiss my big fat wide ass!! I wish this was easy, oh how I wish it was.

Uhm, at 156 pounds you don't have a "big fat wide ass" anymore. Sorry to break the news to you.... :(

"Talk to the hand baby. Talk to the hand." While sometimes you cannot actually say that to their face, you can politly listen, them completely disreguard what they said.

I suppose because I was raised by wolves I have grown a thick hide as I've gotten older. Mind you, I didn't tell my mother because I just didn't want to hear all the crap she was going to put on me. My big mouthed sister blabbed to her, even after I asked her to not tell our mother. *sigh* The surprizing news is that my mother is totally suportive of me and the Band.

Talk about stunned.

Oh how I wish that were true, but NO, it is still pretty big, I don't mean rounded and pretty, I mean, big, wide and flat. Yep, I have an elephant butt. And I have to correct my ticker, because I had gone back up to 159 and since I have been drinking my Water this week, I've lost 1 lb, so I'm weighed 158 this morning. I have got to get off my butt and start excercising, but I can't seem to get motivated. What the hell is wrong with me???

Okay, I looked it up and you know what I might suffer from that. Actually, I went to the post office today and they have this huge one way glass window that I hate to walk by cause I always catch a glimpse of myself and I never liked what I saw. Well guess what today, I saw myself and I can honestly say that I don't look fat anymore. Isn't that the weirdest thing. I have been fat for so long that the image of yourself does get distorted. Well anyways, I saw a friend of mine there and he told me how good I looked and that I have lost a lot of weight, It made me feel so awesome. Thank you, for making me take a look at myself and to change my mind about how I view myself. It is truly a different experience, thanks. I feel really good about myself right now, and I haven't felt like this in a long time. (I'm crying, go figure) Tks.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
