Who am I ?

Thanks for the replies to all. Ann impaticular. I want to thank you for trying so hard to help. I feel like it was very well written and muhc of it I can take to heart. Some of it is not exactly me but it was good to read anyhow.

I am happy with who I was....if I was overcompensating, I didnt realize it. I truly NEVER seen myself as being as big as I now know I was by looking at pictures.

Craziness is all I can say. I do want the me back...I really miss that me...maybe it will get back to normal sooner rather than later. But Im glad I see Im not the only one.

Thanks guy's

Phew!  I'm so glad you weren't offended by what I wrote.  I was trying so hard to choose my words so that they wouldn't be misconstrued, unlike the last time I tried to help someone.  Anyway, honey you certainly are not alone in feeling the way you do.

I know what you mean about not realizing how big you truly was back then.  I, like you, never saw myself as  overweight either...UNTIL I saw myself in photos.  I always tried to make sure my clothes fit well, hid the negatives & accentuated the positives (I was real enough to know I had too much belly for a belly shirt!).  My nails were done, my hair was done, I wore make-up.  And then I'd see a photo that I was expecting to look good in, only to be shocked by what was really there.

I believe that you, & so many others that are in the same boat, are catterpillars morphing into beautiful butterflies.  It takes time & adjustment.  Believe me, Brandi...you'll adjust to your new wings in time.  I promise.

Thanks again so much....It really helped to know I wasnt alone and that thing's will fall in place in due time. I am almost to my personal goal and I feel some times like my surgery was A LONG TIME AGO rather then just 6 month's ago...It's amazing how much my life has changed in uch a short time!

Thank god for all the blessing's of this surgery
