A word of warning....

Hello All

I don't know if any of you are judgemental at all....but I was becoming a very judgemental person after my weight loss...

I would see overweight people walking, or eating or sitting and I started thinking about why they let themselves get to that point? Why don't they dress better, why don't they see what they are doing to themselves...why are they eating so much when they clearly don't need it?

Then I stopped and thought...holy **** that was me a year ago....!!!  Now I just want to tell them all the surgery that saved my sanity and life.

Please don't do the same as I did....I am proud of my accomplishments and will gladly tell people who knew me previously about the surgery.

Don't ever feel guilty or that you "copped out" because you chose surgery.

You chose life...PERIOD!

Hugs

Even though I am still pre op and there is always the possiblity that I will be turned down, I kind of know what you mean.  I watch the people that I know and see how much they are consuming and I think back to last year or last week even when I was the one stuffing my face!  I know that sounds kind of mean, but that's what I was doing...like I couldn't get it in fast enough.  With the liquids I am so limited that I am taking my time and enjoying it as much as I can bacause when it is gone it is gone.  It's just amazing to look at people especially when they are ovber weight and see what they consume.  It breaks my heart a little to know that we live in the best country on earth and yet we are poorly educated on our own health and bodies.  I want to hug some of the obese people that I see on the street and tell them that there is help out there and that surgery is a GOOD option and not a cop out.  I won't judge because I am still there and I have a feeling that there will always be an obese person lurking inside of me, but I can't help but look at others and have thoughts as well you Brenda.  I would just like to be an example and will gladly talk with others as long as they don't judge me:)

thanks so much for your thoughts and what you have gone through. Im thinking of making cards and passing them out with the WWC information on it.. ????

I think that Im very blessed and let people know .. That a Dr cared enough to start me  on this road 2 yrs ago.. I don't make fun of people cus I know what it's like.. I don't feel that Im any better.. Just VERY BLESSED...


  I would love to be able to share with the world our journey , what we did ,. but most people/ even Dr's  dont know about WWC or what Edmonton has to offer..  Tammy and I were talking today and Some provinces dont have the resources we have and for that Im truly thankful..


 I haven't had anyone do the "   copping out ".. I believe that I was given an opportunity and what i choose to do with it. Will make or break me..


 Hugs

Some people don't know about the clinic though and I know others have have done the clinic and it didn't help them - they didn't want to change so all I can really do right now if work on my journey.
