Daily Topic 9/24

So I think it's safe to assume that most of us faced some sort of ridicule when we were heavier, be it from the general public, school mates, maybe even family.  My question is this.  If you could get in touch with one person that you want to see the new you, who would it be and why?

For me, it would be any one of the boys from middle school that tormented me.  Or this girl from high school that I really should have charged with sexual harrassment but just kept quiet. 

I wish my Grandma could see me now - not because she ever made fun of my weight, but because she'd be so happy for me! 

I also had this dream, my whole life, that I'd lose weight one day and walk into a room where the guy that I'd been so in love with for so long would see me and his mouth would drop - and that happened a few months ago.  I posted to my blog about it, because as pathetic as it sounds, that was a major moment in my life!!!   

I was pretty lucky in that either people didn't make fun of me, or I was clueless about it.  My pain was really self-inflicted.  Those people whom I cared about and who cared about me never really said anything negative to me about my weight (or if they did, it was out of love and concern).  So there's really no particular person that I want to see now that I've lost the weight - at least not to "throw it in their faces" or anything.  I am proud of what I've been able to accomplish this past year, and I just enjoy the compliments I've been getting from those who have seen me lately.

I wish my Dad could see me. Not because of and thing he said he passed away shortly after I had my surgery! He was behind  me all the way! He would be my biggest cheer leader thats for sure! Today is the 1 yr date of his death. I was 6 months out from surgery and had not really began to lose the weight yet!

My dad's mom.  She's alive and living in Florida, we're just not close.  But I'm thinking I may send her a picture this year in her Christmas card...For all the times she called me fat!

I wish my Mom was here to see me.  She always pushed me to lose weight but I didn't listen.  When I had a successful year with weigh****cher's she was very happy for me.  Right now I could really use her support.

I think I'm happy with where I'm at right now.  I don't want to have somebody "see" me now.  I was blessed that nobody teased or tormented me about my weight.     Jules
