Tuesday's Topic
Hi it is early and I can not sleep. Guess I have a lot to think about. LOL
Having a cup of hot decaffeinated tea. Maybe I will fall asleep later.
What's in your Cup?
October 19 - 23, 2009 Ban Fat Talk Week
I was surfing around and found this. It is very interesting.
www.endfattalk.org/index.html
It is about fat talk.
(IE. person 1 "wow you look nice since you lost all that weight"
person 2 " Thank you but my butt is still to fat and I have along way to go")
Unknowingly we pass this on to others and feed a lack of confidence and self esteem, which, we are so deserving of. And there is more to it too. If you watch the snip it above it is better explained.
QOTD: What is your fat talk and what will you do to change it?
QOTD: I have always felt shy about taking compliments. so I am going to learn to take a deep breath and say 'Thank You and stop at that.
Hope every one has a mighty fine day!
I have a tendency to also negate a compliment when someone says something like "wow - you don't have anything else to lose" - and I'll come back and say "oh yes, there is still a bit there" and maybe grab my leg or something.
Compliments are nice. You do learn to smile and say thank you graciously and appreciate them in the context they were intended for. I also have a tendency when i get a compliment about how I look to say "and I feel SO much better now too". They know then its not just helping me on the outside, but my overall health has improved too.

And early
is if you went to bed at 9pm and woke up at 1 am or maybe it's the middle of the night.
Just have my mind wandering and have to keep it busy for a few
so here I am making Kristy think again.
woops! sorry Kristy.

And don't worry my brain could us a little work out these days!

What a success story you have Jody. I just can't believe how wonderful you look. I agree, anyone looking at you today would have no idea that you once had a weight problem! You take compliments the way I do. "Thank you, and I feel so much better now" That way I'm telling them I didn't lose the weight just for looks!

Yesterday I saw my BF for the first time since August - we were sitting in a coffee shop chatting and drinking a latte.
He said "something (mumbling like men do) good".. I said "yea the coffee is real good"
He said "no - I said you look good" - LOL... I was a little caught off guard - then I recomposed and said "OH - thank you"... and he laughed...

Trying to wake up with a cup of decaf black coffee this morning.
Good question this morning! Trying to deal with fat talk all the time.
My fat talk is:
Person: What did you do to loose all that weight?
Me: Used to say "Oh, diet and exercise"
Now I say "weight loss surgery-the lap band." I used to be so afraid of the negative reaction to WLS. But now I'm no longer reluctant to share. Too bad if they think it's "the easy way out."
May not be exactly fat talk, but I'm so tired of WLS bashing!!!!!
Off to the students I go...
