No comment for me here, except to thank Kat for copying that post in her response since the writer has a history of writing crap like this and then deleting the posts.

Here's to some posting integrity. Thank you Kat.

I'm also astounded by your rudeness, but I will also refrain from pointing out the "blemishes" in your pictures.

That said, I know lots of people, and have seen lots of people, who eat protein and fat and look like rockstars in bikinis. I also know many people who eat protein and fat who are significantly kinder than you are, which means even more in my book.

You have complained REPEATEDLY about your body and weight over the years and I believe even had a ****ton of plastic surgery recently. I don't believe you are as self-confident as you claim to be.

Spot on.

Women who are really confident about their bodies, build other women up, they don't tear them down.

That, combined with a history of self-loathing posts, belies the hubris in this recent post.

That's exactly why I posted ( very minor ) pre ps pics. I didn't like the belly roll and love handles either.

I don't see the OP asking for help in looking good in a bikini, and I don't see how your gratuitous pictures help.

You talk about fat free food, most of which has added sugar. It's not good advice--none of it is.

I eat a high-protein diet, as doctors recommend for a post-WLS patient.

I look awesome in a bikini, stretch-marks and jiggles and mom-bod and all.

Not gonna happen. I don't need to have others validate me by liking my body.

Seriously? Is your only life goal to look good in a bikini? In the 'great' words of 45... Sad. Very sad.
