There is a show on TLC about plus size women living in NYC- called Big Sexy..its interesting to watch..i admire their love and acceptance in some of the scenes of their plus size bodies...

but i also see the struggles they are going through and can relate..people making you feel like you dont belong at a club/bar cuz you are big, issues with dating and self esteem, the struggle to find cute clothes in plus size

i am happy that some people are fine being overweight...it was just too much for me to bare anymore...

but its hard cuz i still see myself as fat and out of place sometimes..and im shocked at how often people put overweight people down around me and say snide things they have no idea i was heavier... and it sickens me sometimes to know im getting better treatment just because i am an acceptable size to society...

                      HW: 258lbs  SW: 240   CW: 140 I am 5 foot 7 and 30 years old

I watched and I will continue to watch. I can relate to so many of the issues the ladies face. I am not comfortable in my skin so I am turning to vsg. Kudos to those ladies for shedding light on the mistreatment of obese people!

My best friend just told me about it last night, I need to look it up and set my DVR. She said it was a good show, I'm sure I can relate to so many things in it...since I feel that way a lot.

I do like the idea of any show that helps increase acceptance, especially towards overweight people.

I lived the big sexy life and never had a struggle once I passed the age of 14. No one can affect your self esteem unless you allow them too and I never did. I partied where I wanted and often was the envy of my smaller friends because of the confidence I exuded in ANY environment. Now I'll never say people didn't have judgements or make comments but ignorance can't be controlled but allowing them to damage who I am...never!! Oh and my clothes ROCKED...I miss quite a few of my former fat girl outfits and lingerie...but alas I'm growing fond of the clothes that have replaced them.

I'm watching it now..I wish they would consider VSG. Not every big girl wants to be skinny? yeah right.

I never wanted to be skinny (I still don't), I enjoyed my body when it was big and so did my husband (and before my husband I never had a problem finding a boyfriend), it wasn't until I had children that I realized I could not continue on the way I was b/c of the issues that lurked in my future (diabetes, high blood pressure etc.) and knew I needed to get healthy for them.

Well good for you. You are definitely the only person I know who was fat and didn't want to lose weight. when I say "skinny" I don't mean skin and bones but rather a nice healthy weight..

I totally agree with you!!! I am not running around slumping because im bigger but the smaller i get the happier I get and i dont care what anybody says I WANT TO BE SKINNY!!! I want to be able to run without getting out of breath and at 200+lbs at 5'3 it aint gonna happen...I want to wear a bikini and look damn good in it and honestly ive never seen a "big girl" that looked cute in a bikini!!! I dont want to wear big girl clothes anymore i dont want things hanging over my pants i dont want to feel uncomfortable with short sleeve shirts so call me vain or whatever but YES i want to be skinny....not skin and bones but i want to wear WHATEVER i want!!!

I never ever wanted to be skinny or really smaller then say a 20...if it wasn't for my mother dying almost 5 years ago I would have (at least at THAT time) EVER considered being smaller or "skinny." In fact when I had WLS my goal weight was 215 but I kept losing to 195 and I was a comfortable size 12/14. I've gained 20lbs and while I'm still around my original goal weight. All the clothes that I rocked for 2 years are now snug.
