Topic: RE: I'm still ME!...Reflections
I'm right there with you...I've found that I am much more cynical (sp?) now than I ever was, and I always wonder about peoples motives, etc.
Oh, and I got a RAISE...a BIG raise (well, 15% is big to me). I'm so glad I did, but come on, I'm the same person!

Topic: RE: When I look in the mirror, I see...
MS. HUGGS..
I have nothing but LUV for you.. but I cant take away what you feel... but if I could take all away and carry your hurt I would
.... but regardless of the fact... its not only about the amount of weight we lose.. we regained the most important thing back OUR LIFE... if we never lose another pound.. we have to always remember that without this surgery we would be 100, 75, 80, or even 200 lbs heavier and probably would be leaving this world before our time.. I'm 5'7 and m/l frame.. even at 190lbs I still see this 380lb person.. what we need to realize that what we see in the mirror is not necessary the real view.. its the minds deploy.. on what we feel deep down in our soul.. so we have to change the mind.. in order to not go back to the way we were.. we have to fight for what we have received a GIFT.. you are awesome Lady and I Don't SEE A FAT GIRL NO WHERE.. but i do believe that support is something we all need .. I started going to Weight watchers..it helps me more than going to a Obesity support group.. because it helps me to see over an overall day.. how many calories.. portion.. and no snacking is not a CRIME... and also see what lead me to the point of why I needed surgery in the first place.. check out the web.. and get into a class.. because I can only talk what I feel.. and I still fight the same demons.. but we will fight together..
LUV & HUGS

Topic: RE: Happy 1 year out my fellow July 14'ers!
Looking great, girls! I'm losing and gaining the same 3 pounds this summer. Of course, it probably has something to do with my current obsession with chips and homemade salsa. I need to get back to The Daily Plate and log my food because I'm not eating enough calories with this summer heat. I do still drink two Click espresso protein shakes per day so I feel like I'm doing something right. Remembering the vitamins is a bit of a challenge lately.
I'm happy with my progress. Five pounds from goal is success to me! I'd probably weigh less than goal if I get this spare tire of flubber hanging around my waist cut off. Someday . . .

Topic: RE: Ladies, Let's Talk About Bras!
I have the same issues. My boobs have disappeared and what is left is sagging to the ground. I have found that wearing a Flex-tee over my bra helps smooth out all the puffy and jiggly parts. You can buy them at Target, Kohl's or TJ Maxx. They are like a snug fitting t-shirt that helps to suck it all in. They are comfortable and I definitely feel slimmer when wearing them.

it's so good to know that all us girls are having issues with the girls....
Mine remind me of a small dish of jello that has been left out on the kitchen counter on a hot day...
so sad.....

I agree...
Now friends are telling me to go eat something!!!
people are strange...even our friends... (birds of a feather i guess)
Still... I have a problem with strangers *****act SO DIFFERENTLY than when I was MORBIDLY OBESE!..
just the other day I got angry inside for the assistance that I received while picking up a few things at HOME DePOT for our bathroom remodel. I was standing by the bathroom sink fixtures...down an aisle when a male employee walked past in the big center aisle. He saw me and quickly turned to ask if I needed help.
WHICH I DID... I had a question.
BUT.... how many times did I have to HUNT for someone BEFORE???
and when i had another question this guy willingly led me to the place where I could find the water connections for the faucets... instead of the usual... it's down that aisle POINTING..
THEN... he stood there searching for the right lenght connections for me. I know i should be grateful for the help. I know Home DePot has a push on for more customer service... BUT I can't help thinking...
WOULD I REALLY HAVE GOTTEN THAT SERVICE IF I WAS MY FORMER MORBIDLY OBESE SELF???
No... I don't think so... yet a MO person's $$$ is just as good as a thin persons... isn't it? or is there some hidden code on my $$$ now that makes my dollars more valuable????

Topic: RE: Happy Anniversary my 21st peeps! & the rest!
"This fight will never be over......I cannot do this alone and will not do it alone because this is a battle I can never win if I rely solely on myself.
I thank all of you for sharing your experiences with me over this last year. Without it I don't think I could have been as successful as I have. Nor be so accepting of the fact that we ALL struggle to reach our goals.......It's that struggle that makes us appreciate obtaining those goals!"
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for these wise words... I couldn't agree more! We do need the support and understanding that can only come from others who have gone before us in this wonderful adventure to health via WLS.
Tomorrow is my surgiversary and I wish I was excited... I had hoped to make it to goal by then ... Instead I have gained weight (which I haven't posted on my health tracker- but i'm up- way up!)
Must get back on track so tomorrow... is my day to recommit myself to this lifelong dedication to health!
Again thanks for your insight!
