Is there something you miss being overweighted? Just three questions today!!! Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Here are my answers: What is the most positive issue you have had due to your over weight off of you? Well I would say that I feel much healthier andd full of life right now than ten years ago. My selfsteem has gone really high. I have no problems socializing any more. What is the funniest thing is has haapenned to you since your weight lost? In a Funeral (nice place to have a funny annectodote isn't it?) this girl (one of my friend´s wife) kept looking at me... in one time she came to me and told me... "I am sorry but you look much like a friend called Alejandro" "oh yes?" -I said- Well yes but you look much more handsome...!!!??? I started to laugh in the middle of the funeral... (and she was the daugher in law of the person who died!!!) When I found words to tell her that I looked so much to Alejandro was because I was really half the Alejandro se used to know... she went in complete confusion... and albait her sorrow started to laugh herself... Is there something you miss being overweighted? Right now suffering this cool day, I remember the times that I never knew what cold hands or feet was... Have a nice day!!! I hope you will start your week eating healthy!!! Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

What is the most positive issue you have had due to your over weight off of you? Increased confidence. Excitement buying clothing and looking in the mirror. What is the funniest thing is has haapenned since your weight lost? People walk right by me and dont recognize me. I was at a trade show this summer and wanted to check out the competitors booth....not a problem because I did not stand out...... Is there something you miss being overweighted? Not really. Some of the foods...ice cream. Pasta. The ability to really sit down and EAT. Those are minor fleeting thoughts, however, overall I dont miss anything about my overweight life..........

I always think it is funny when clients I haven't seen in a year or two argue with me about who I am ? I have had thet happen a few times. Is there something you miss being overweighted?

Hey Tori: The improvement in your image will drag more attention. It is a matter of positive attitude that will make it a positive thing... Enjoy it. You are a beautiful and attractive woman. My best wishes for you Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Hey there, It's good to see some old faces around these last few days. What is the most positive issue you have had due to your over weight off of you? My second biological daughter, baby Faith. She will be 4 months old this week. What is the funniest thing is has haapenned since your weight lost? I live 1500 miles away from my family and oly get home 1 -2 times per year. Last Thanksgiving I was home at my dad's house sitting at the kitchen table talking. My Aunt Linda comes in, sits down and joins in the converstaion. About 15 minutes after joining the conversation, Aunt Linda looks at me and screams "Jennifer!" I say "yeah" she says "I did not know who you were until just know." She was my Aunt before I was born and did not recognize me after losing the weight. Is there something you miss being overweighted? Honestly, somestimes I miss over eating, there was something so comforting about just stuffing and stuffing and stuffing my fat face. Man, that is sick, I need a shrink! God Bless! Jen

Hi Jen Jen!!! I am so happy to talk to you... !!! "I miss over eating, there was something so comforting about just stuffing and stuffing and stuffing my fat face. Man, that is sick, I need a shrink!" I was after your message!!! But I am with you... some times I miss so much my before self - destructive attitude!!!... lol!!! Well the advantage now is that I have a shrink really near of me nowadays with the supporting group!!! she really is a great support at the times I want to fall down and go back to the bad habits!!!! To be honest it is a lot of help to me the fact that I am the leading roll of how to deal with these things in the group to keep myself in the good path and not led down them ... lol I hope you have a way to deal with your compultions too!!! I have found that it is a must for us to deal with anxiety and depression after our WLS!!! God Bless you and your family!!! you are admirable!!! Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico
