Open Letter to Obesity

Thankyou for giving me hope....................Meet you next time on the loosing bench

Thank you Juice for the wonderful, truthful words.  I've printed your letter to keep in my personal journal of my wls journey and new life.

Ahh Juice - this is the best letter.  I love the line "hand in chubby hand."  Yep, kicking those pals to the curb is the most awesome feeling!!  I "enjoyed" this, if you will (obviously not your pain), because you paint such a clear picture of what you went through.  I love the creativity and the cleverness of your letter.  I have written this type of letter before, but you did a much better job!

When you write "you don't have to go home..well..yes you do" is the reason when people ask me how much I have lost I re-phrase it and say I have "removed" 138 pounds.  Why? For that simple statement fat went home and is not allowed to come back.  If I lost her that implies that I will find her again and I am not finding her - I am removing her - as in deleted, erased, scrubbed from my system never to return!

My best to you!  JaimeK

Hi Juice...You've become well aquainted with Obesity who I am also trying to kick to the curb!!  Your letter was truly amazing, well written and amazingly right on target.

Thanks so much for putting words to our struggles and giving our challenges life.

Very good point, Jaime! From now on I'll be "removing' fat...I am NOT going to find it again!

*wiping tears*

Both tears of sad recognition and tears from laughter.

You said it all and said it so eloquently.

I am right there with you!

Thank you for posting that amazing letter!! It is truely inspiring!! You are going to rock your WLS and you are going to beat that old friend to the curb!!

Keep that positive attitude and it will take you far.....

Good Luck in your Journey and please don't hesitate to message if you ever need some support along the way!!!

Hey, Juice-

You should consider trying to get your "open letter" published, be it in a health magazine, or your local newspaper.  So many people -both young and old- would benefit from reading this.  You have done an excellent job of personifying obesity and have helped us see that some "friends" are toxic and need to be set out on the curb with yesterday's trash!

I wish you much success, and look forward to reading more of your letters in the future.

Hi Juice

What an artful piece of penmanship!  I felt every moment of your journey and can relate to it all in such a big (no pun intended) way!    I wish you well on your new journey and hope to read more of your thoughts along the way.  

Best wishes! 

Robin

This is really awesome!!  We have let Obesity rule and ruin our lives for too long....so glad you are going to be free to enjoy life without your 4 friends once again.....just like me!
