Will I ever beat food addiction!!??!!
Will I ever wake up one day and WANT to exercise? Will I ever RATHER a salad instead of a Bigmac? Will I ever not fill my plate to capacity when I know that I can only eat a small portion of what is on it? Will I ever be able to stop "weighing in" every Monday? Will I ever be able to get rid of my "fat pictures" and pretend that I was never fat? Will everyone in my family ever forget that I used to be fat and stop saying, everytime that I eat, "you better watch out before you gain ALL that weight back!"? Will I ever remember that I no longer have to use the BIG bathroom stall? Will I ever look in the mirror and be satisfied that I am a "good size"? Will I ever stop comparing myself to every woman I see -saying to myself " I wonder if I'm bigger than her?" Will I ever stop hearing from "friends" how such and such lost 50 pounds-WITHOUT surgery? Will I ever be able to eat a piece of cake, or pie or ice cream without feeling sooo guilty and unworthy of my surgery? Will I ever be NORMAL?
All good questions that I cannot answer.

Acknowledging that the questions linger in our minds is half the battle. The other half is ackowledging that we don't have to have all of the answers. We just need to do the best we can and keep moving forward.
I was never normal before and I never will be. I don't want to be normal. I want to be extraordinary! Phenomenal!! Amazing!!! They are much more interesting than normal.

I k now, I know you are right. I just get frustrated with thinking all the time about food, exercise, health, weight. I was tired of being fat and now I am tired of trying not to gain my weight back. I want to be extraordinary but some days I would just settle for normal. Im just having a pitty party-pray for me-I'll get over it. Thanks.
Hey Ms. Bee:
You know, I hear a lot of slim (normal size) people also pose some of these questions BUT they actually do not ASK questions, they make Statements...I guess that is why they are "slim". Like: *I can't have that Big Mac, where are the Salads? And that dressing is 300 calories, I better just use vinegar or give me the dressing on the side. *Gotta get on the scale, I need to know where I am. *I better watch what I eat because I will gain a few pounds I don't want or need that right now. *Yea, she looks good, wonder what size she is, or she wears that well... *I want to "splurge" this weekend so I can diet and increase my exercise before or after.
Some things are unique to you, but trust Me, weight control is NOT religated to the obese or formally obese. The "slim" women I know obsess over their weight and size ALL the Time! Many Spouses/Partners do not even talk about weight and size because there is NO right answer for "normal" women. You shouldn't think you are so different than any other woman who wants to look and be her best physically. Maybe if "we" cared more and raised some of these questions with ourselves sooner, we may have avoided obesity. Now that you have the opportunity to actually get on a scale and weigh, and you like what you see...I would not take that for granted.
I have discovered that it is usually the most healthy among us that keep there health in front of them...reviewing their eating and exercise habits, placing limitations on themselves relative to food, eat healther foods, more willing to walk/take stairs, getting regular check-ups...I have found that people did not get slim and remain that way by not being accountable to themselves, just the contrary, they are very accountable. And I have learned that if I want to be healthy and slim I will have to do what slim and healthy people do (and it's not easy for them or Me). Don't be so hard on yourself, YOU are Normal.

Interesting reply... certainly "food for thought" (excuse the pun). Before having wls I envisioned myself never having to think about dieting again. I understand now that while I do not plan to be consumed about my weight, I will be conscious of what I eat and remaining physically active, preferably through some type of sport.
It's not over, even after the fat lady sings.
