Really? REALLY IS it about weight?

Ok... Either the pictures you posted of you in the bikini and the sphinx are not you OR you have a serious case of body dysmorphia OR the comment here about "I every day every hour HATE the disgusting fat squishy tire around my belly" is nonsense/BS.

IF you are suffering from mental lapses, it is entirely possible that you have a vitamin deficiency or are eating far too few carbs.  When was the last time you had a FULL set of labs run (and did you see the results yourself rather than just having the doctor tell you everything was ok)? Many people who maintain a very low carb diet for a long time experience problems with memory and general brain functioning.

Are you trying to say that perhaps you felt invisible before WLS and now that you had WLS and successfully lost, you feel like a piece of meat?  Your accomplishments and gifts arent recognized at either end of the spectrum?

In that case, yes. I am with you.

On the other hand, I worked out and did gym stuff even when heavier. Despite exercise and "trying to watch my diet" my NP had a long talk to me about "having a stroke" and "drooling in my oatmeal" when I got around 50.

Now that I have lost the majority of my weight, I love the way I look in clothes. I love dressing up for me and my fiancee. It makes me feel womanly and,  to be honest, I did really feel womanly before.  

So liking the way i look in clothes is the "crown jewel"  in my weight loss crown. I am still the queen/ruler as long as I have that jewel-less crown.  But crown jewels in the crown ..just make that crown so much better.

Drooling in my oatmeal ?  Could this be sexism and agesim and not really REAL ?  I would be SO  grateful to just suffer a phantasm. but Im, terrified I might have early Alzenheimers .  

Maybe I just ate too much cheap garbage laden with accumulating pesticides  :0

As far as being a " piece of meat " goes I'e always been catnip 2 men ( and crazy wimmen ! ;0 ) For me , setting and trusting " boundaries "   is HUGE .  Noone cares how fat I am  ( they might even think they have a better chance of OWNING me fat) .. I CARE .  Its about independence for me and self worth

Accumulating pesticides will do that to you. That's why I never eat vegetables. Anything that grows in the ground will kill you.
