Out Of Prison/sounds Funny?



Recommended Posts

This may sound funny to you. But I walked around my home town with no shirt on!!! Being over weight for so many years has caused me to be very self

cautious....... I think I only took my shirt off in front of my in laws 1 time in ten years and that was three weeks ago.of being married never going to the pool or any where I was totaly in ( PRISON WITH MY OWN WEIGHT)

and if there was one time I had my shirt off in my own yard I"d run if some pulled into my drive way.

Its so funny that we are in prison with are weight and how it holds us back from playing with are kidds. Going to the admusement parks or just going out to eat and you can't fit inside the booth.

It was such a hugh reward to walk around and not have to worry if Id run into my friends,I went looking for them...Just to show them my new hot body,

( hehe) please check back in later tonight and my new pitcher will be posted!

I just walked and walked. Praise the Lord.

Please share any stories with me,So I no that I am not the only person who felt this way!

But most of all God bless you. And I, hope that you are all meeting your weight loss goals.

Great NSV John.

I never walk around with out my shirt either, can't blame you lolol ;) I can totally relate, I don't even wear shorts b/c of my jiggly legs. I would sooner sweat like a pig than wear shorts or any shirt that show's my arms.

I'm glad you are where you are today and mostly that you are mentally feeling on cloud 9.

Yesterday DH, DD and I went to a little dinner. This one old woman stared me up and down and watched my every move squeezing into the booth. I said to my DH... oh wonderful, wicked witch of the east is sizing me up. I couldn't even enjoy my meal b/c I felt scrutney in the other booth. I just wish people would mind their own business for crying out loud.

You are NOT the only person who feels like this.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU !!!!

That is awesome, John!

And you are so right regarding the kids benefiting from it as well. This afternoon I rode my 9yr olds bike. We had such simple fun - he even stood on the foot pegs and we BOTH went for a ride.

This is living - what life is all about.

I can't count the number of parties and other events that I've avoided due to the fact that I don't like to dress up. Most overweight people don't. My awesome little wife, who is the life of any party, has stood by me and sat out the parties too. Well, I owe her the good times of life!

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

        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
