Invisible
Wow Monica,
You wrote a powerful piece here and it is something we discuss periodically at my Barix Support Group. What I've learned is that there are those who liked being invisible and in others it provokes a lot of anger, mostly the younger ones. Yes, it is so true, either people stare at obese folks, or pretend not to see them. There was that guy who put on a fat suit to see how differently he would be treated and while I did not see it, I heard that it was a real eye opening experience. Yes, life post-WLS is quite different and takes some getting used to. . .

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
