Who this heffa thank she fooling?? (Kinda Long)

Ok, so I'm sittin in the nail shop this afternoon riiigh....and this woman comes in lookin like she... well lets just say she looked like I felt this time last year.....just busted and discusted. Like if she didnt lose some weight soon she was gonna have a stroke or heart attack...take ya pick.  I know thats how I felt at dayum near 400 lbs.

Anyhow, she and I began talking....Now I wouldnt say that I'm an avocate for WLS....but when ever I see someone who looks like they may benefit from either surgery weather it be RNY...LB...DS...or any of them I'll somehow engage in a WL conversation...and share my recent success, in hopes that it may encourage them to take back their own life.

When we first started talking about loosing weight and everything...and I mentioned surgery.....she burst out to say....."girl imma do like my friend did and go get me a tummy tuck".

Yall I was sittin there with the most confused look on my face....with this thought rummaging tru my head " They gone be TUCKING for days".  I quickly figgured out that she was either very confused about that procedure...or simply very uneducated on the matter.

As we continued our conversation and I explain to her about that what she needed was WLS.....and that a TT would be what she'd get after the weight was off...she seemed to better understand.

However it was at this point I began to become very confused....when she says...."Well girl, I gotta do something, cause i'm used to being small....cuz now I'm now bout 230-240.
When she said it I was likeThis H0e is lying!  Why...why on earth is she lying TO ME about her weight. Yall she and I were aprox the same height....so scratch that idea. She was more like about 350-380.  I'm thinkin to myself....(and wanted to say aloud) "Biotch...what the hellz is you lyin foe? I just left wea you at....so I know exactly what the hell it looks and feels like. Then she goes on to talk about what size she wears....saying..."Oh, I'm a size 20". I'm sittin there patiently waiting for her...to finish the number of the size....cuz no way on God's green earth...or Saten's Hot heyll...was she a 20. I'm in an 18....and still doin pretty good with most 20's. If she had said 28....I would have gone with that one....but was thinkin mor like a possible 30.

Please tell me why people lie....espicially to other fat people(seeing I just told you what I used to be) about their weight...and clothes size. I know the struggle all to well for you to try to pull one over on me. I'll admit....I used to shave a few pounds off when rudely asked my weight...but dayumit...I said a few...30 maybe even 40 at the most....but when you go tellin +100 lb lies...you just need to be shot!! Moreso when you talkin to a chick who fat herself.

I have no idea why fat folks lie to other fat folks about their size and weight.  I always thought I was a little more hip to people's true ht and wt because as a nurse if somebody is unable to give me that info we guestimate it in order to get meds from pharmacy. 

I recently went out with a dude that told me he was between 300-350 lbs.  Now bro-man is 6'3".  I am 5'3" and started this journey at about 365.  Ain't no way he weighs in at less than 400lbs.  I wanted to ask him about the otherr 50-100 lbs he forgot to mention. But I remember being so in denial at my highest.

Long before I decided to pursue WLS I had reverse body dysmorphia.  I never saw myself as fat as I obviously was.  I would see large people in crowds and ask my friends if I was that large.  It was really useful with my little sister cuz she could peep people outta the corner of her eye and break it down for me.

 leave her along. she just told a lllllllllllliiiiiiiiitttttttlllllllleeeee lie. smile. my driver license still say im 155. hell, that's my goal. . i had to get those suckers renewed one year. that examiner ask if all the info was correct. i said no, they messed up my race. it had white on renewal sticker instead of african american.smile. , he laughed and so did i. dont hate the player, hate the game. smile.

Hey Shavara

Girl her ass was in denial; and it was flowing all through the nail shop and in her narrow mind!!  Especially that ignorant **** she said about a tummy tuck!  WTF!!  What tummy are they tucking and you haven't done anything about your mouth, your mind, or your stomach on the inside!  Or maybe she told that lie, to make herself feel better!  I would have just said ok, and walked away, cause obviously you know better.  But when I was heavier you couldn't tell me I was over 300 lbs.; hell I was 250 and wearing a 30/32!!!   

  OMG that is so funny!!!!

Me and a friend of mine know a chic that had WLS and SWEARS she is now a size 10 - we are both like.....

YEA ***** - SIZE 10 IN SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell - I had the opposite problem - mofos would never believe I was 386...... go figure.....

Mack tell her there are people who have HAD WLS and lie about their new size.  Many are on this site  (remember the post someone did a while back)?

<- about to fall out AGAIN just like Friday night............

OMG - girl you are OFF da CHAINNNNNNNNN!!!!!

I know a girl like this now.  All throughout  my WLS process we discussed my surgery, my weight goals, etc.  She has decided that she needs surgery too.  Great for her.  The only problem is that she keeps on insisting that she only has a little bit to lose, so the lap band would be great for her, she's not big enough for the bypass.  We about the same height and at my heaviest I was 270 and sqeezing in a 22, because I was too embarassed to wear a 24.  She has to be no less than 300 and no smaller than a 30.  Talking about she ain't got that much to lose.  B is you crazy.  I did take into consideration her height and at 5'1, ain't no way in this lifetime is your starting weight less than mines and you only got about 70lbs to lose.
So just look at her, listen to her spill her bs and smile and nod.  In my mind though, i'm like GTFOWTBS.
I have no idea why people lie like that.  As if we ain't in the same fat struggle.

I do not understand why fat or overweight people feel then need to lie to other fat people. I have overweight girlfriends who are not quite as heavy as me but when they talk to me they talk to me like we are in two different categories.  I always say when people see us walking down the street they do not say I see one fat women and one slightly smaller fat women.  They say  I see two fat or heavy women.  It use to burn me up now I  just look at them like they are crazy.  I used to be a size twenty eight and my friends were between 18 and 24.  They act like I was the biggest person in the world and they were tiny I guest they did that to make themselves feel better. I can not wait to see how they act in a couple of months.  I had a couple of them say I was going to motivate them to go on a diet. LOL

Sharvara,

Sometimes people tell a lie to keep from accepting the truth.  For years before my wls I would swear that I only weighed 175 That was no where near what I really weighed, but it did make me feel good about myself  -- but everytime I would see a picture of myself I knew that I couldn't keep sticking with the 175 lie.  She was probably in denial just like I had been before -- but, no body is fooled!!

The good thing was that accepting the truth about myself lead me to wls.

Believe it or not I know of a few, very overweight people that have had tummy tuck and breast reductions.  There are some doctors out here that will do anything as long as they are getting paid -- Sad, but so true!
