What losing weight DIDN'T change...

What have you realized that losing weight didn't change in your life...that maybe you thought it would have

I have learned that losing weight didn't change...

my heart...I do actually have one and I am not always in "control" of it

my environment...it is what I make it!

men...the selection pool is larger than it was pre-op but there are still the good and bad ones


Now...don't get me wrong there are MANY things it did change...and most are really good I guess I'm just growing as a person....as a woman  This journey never really ends but I'm going to keep on traveling it DAILY! I'm doing good and maintaining my weight loss, exercising, taking my vitamins, drinking a LOT of water, and yet I'm struggling with the personal/mental side of this at times. I know I'm not alone because I've received a lot of feedback from other post-ops that say the same.

What Ye say???

I learned that people still mistake my kindness for weakness

Good one...and that is something I say all the time!

OMG this is soooo true, but trust, I am NOT weak!!!!!

~Telaya~

Me too.

I am thankful to say that Weight Loss didn't change ME!  I'm still the same ole Keesha just a lil smaller!

U just getting out of diapers on this damn journey...give it some more time and you will see what I mean Talk to me in 3 or 4 years

SHUT UP HEIFFER!!  LOL.  I know what you mean.  Honestly, I've changed the way I handle situations etc but the core of who I am hasn't changed.  What WLS has forced me to do is deal with some ish differently.  No more can I eat for comfort.  No more do I eat when I'm stressed.  I deal with that it head on and don't use food as a means of escape. 

You know I adore you

Yep now you're talking...food is not a comfort and that can cause some head tricks. It's just funny that I remember how I used to always think "If I could just lose the weight..." Reality is that life is life and it is what you make it no matter what your size BUT how people treat you and react to you IS very different Not fair but it's a fact of life...

despite having way more energy, I'm STILL a lazy procrastinating heffa.
