why and how did we get like this

I guess I am a little depressed this morning and I need to talk. I feel so lucky and thank God everyday I met and liked Dr.Curry. I know he saved my life litterally. and then I wonder "How and why did I let myself go and gain 120 lbs.since I got married." I missed 36 years of my lifw and my kids growing up years. They always had the fat mom. I weighed 135 when I got pregnant. What happened? I say its ALL from fast food. I got addicted and I mean that . I would drive for miles to find a frisches and white castle. My routine was go get my food,put the kids down for a nap and then turn on my soap and Love to eat. Had to have extra tarter sauce for the fr.fries. I look at myself and I am so mad at myself. It got me to this long recovery from Plastic Surgery,and I also had a genius for that,Dr.Kurtis Martin.I cant believe I have a waist for the first time in years.I have "little arms with no skin". He is a real miracle worker . I really enjoyed him as a human and doc.But, this isn't easy. It hurts. It hurts alot after all the fun I had with all those white castles and big boys. Please my advice to you pre-ops. Go get your lifes back before you are 57 and its harder to recover. Plastics go with the fast loss and I am sure next month I will be ready for my face lift lol.Sorry I haven;t been on lately but I was to busy feeling sorry for ME. Love and luck to all of you, Cindy

[[[[[[[[ Cindy ]]]]]]]]] OK you whined, now smile. Even though it took till you were 57, look at the quality of your life now! I too wish I had gotten my life back sooner, but alas, here I am at 46.. but living and loving life like I never have before in my adult life! So just live for today!

Thank you! !

I think most of us felt that way Cindy. At 51 for the first time in my life I am a thin person! I thank God everyday for giving me this new chance at life and I am not going to waste a second of it with regrets. All of that weight made me the person that I was and still am. I didn't go into this surgery thinking that I was going to be 30 again. Plastic surgery is not something I am even going to waste my money on unless it becomes medically necessary and I don't see that happening. I could care less about my sagging skin and drooping breasts. I am healthier then I have ever been in my life and I smile all of the time now. I KNOW how lucky I was to have insurance that covered my surgery. I KNOW how blessed that I am to be able to do things with the kids in my life that I only used to dream about. Regrets about being fat? All those years of people making fun of me and hurting my feelings has made me more compassionate to other people's feelings. So some good came out of my being fat and I'm a better person for it. Its hard to tell someone to go out and get their life back. I know people who have been trying for years to have this surgery and can't either afford it or their personal insurance won't pay for it. Sorry for the soapbox, but it burns my butt when people achieve what they want and they still find reason to have a pity party for themselves. Flame if you must, but this is my opinion.

You and your niece seem like such WONDERFUL people. My letter this morning had nothing to do with a pity party. No one else seemed to mind if I vented. I am so sorry I offended you

My niece had nothing to do with the posting that I left. Don't bring her into it!
