Hi Judy! Yes, I saw that advertised and I'm planning to watch it. It's probably a huge eye-opening experience for a thin girl to go thru the crap that some of us have had to go thru being obese. The thing is, we had years of obesity to try to make ourselves thick-skinned (as much as possible), and here this girl is just thrown into the situation...never being fat before, etc. That would be hard to take. Very interesting. But you know what else is really eye-opening??....All of us that have lost alot of weight and are now suddenly in a THIN body after being fat for so long and seeing the change in behavior toward us. Even though it's more positive than negetive reactions, at times it can be overwhelming and make you, in some ways, kind of resentful that they never noticed that you were a nice, intellegent, worthwhile person who had something to give even before you were thin! I've heard that comment many times from others that have had WLS. Any change is hard I guess. Anyway, just my thoughts for the day! Have a great day! Theresa Hey, did you try that recipe yet??

OH I HAVE NOTICED THE CHANGES IN SOME PEOPLE THAT COME TO THE CHECKOUT....BEFORE SOME WOULD LOOK AT ME AND GO TO THE OTHER CASHIER THAT WAS SKINNIER....I COULD SEE THE LOOK OF DISGUST IN THEIR FACE AS THEY LOOKED AT ME AND WALKED TO THE OTHER REGISTER...SAD ISN'T IT?? NO I STILL HAVE TO GET TO THE STORE AND IT WILL BE TUESDAY NOW ON MY NEXT DAY OFF. JUST LAID AROUND THE HOUSE TRYING TO GET MYSELF BETTER WITH THIS UPPER RESPATORY THING I HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW. I AM FEELING SO MUCH BETTER AND WANT TO KEEP GETTING BETTER. SO TUESDAY IS THE GROCERY SHOPPING DAY FOR ME!!! HUGS JUDY

Theresa, Unfortunately society does view each of on our looks and being socially excepted because we are thin or beautiful. It is even easier to get a job if you look good even if your education or skill level does not dictate the job you are applying for. I use to weight 120 lbs at the age of 21 and still was thin for until age 28. I always viewed myself as overweight even at 110 lbs and I could never figure out why people overweight couldn't loose the weight...? Usually ever week I would get a compliment and men would always ask me out or approach me. Well....... that all stoped. I now weigh 210 lbs and it is very difficult to loose the weight my mindset is definately not willing to make that commitment. I can not find the will power in me to stop eating. I don't know why but I must be a comfort eater. I also find it very difficult to tell myself.........WORK OUT! I keep saying....okay......today is going to be the day.......but it just doesn't happen! I would love to have the support of someone elese to say hey lets do this together but maybe that's just another excuse...? My husband looks sooooooo good he works out "every day" at the gym and has done this for over 15 years and is DEDICATED. I know he hates my weight and it bothers me. I know I would completely hate it if he wasn't buff and overweight. I know......how selfish and unfair for me to think that way. I have always been with men who have been buff and even dated a guy who was in a magazine for physical fitness. I'm like society....what I see appeals to me....yet I can not understand why I am not socially excepted as I once was at 120 lbs. I know it is a very sad way of thinking. To top things off..........I look in the mirror and DO NOT see that I'm overweight.

YES ! I am glad you reminded me. I have been watching the previews for it as well and keep saying I want to see it. ~~Rona
