Thanks Jody. In everything else in my life I stand up for myself but when it comes to my weight, the shame that has always been heaped on me and that I lapped right up makes me like a deer in headlights. That guys comment shot me right back to the second grade. I was powerless and humiliated. I need to work on it, that' for sure.
Not being able to explain to my naturally thin parents as to why I was having this surgery, I told them I was not accepted in society. Both of them shut up and took notice. I told them about the pain, HBP, thyroid problems, etc, etc, etc....but not being accepted by society...oh yeah, they could see that.
I posted a pic after losing 91 lbs on a dating site...one guy posted "feeding time?"
This from a guy that didn't even have a pic up of himself...yeah...classy.
It is unfortunate the society we live in wants everyone/thing to be thin. I have not been able to convince anyone otherwise.
Love yourself, love, like, tolerate others.
DO not let those that are negative get you down. You're amazing!
Smile and good luck in this journey!
Wow looks like we share some thing in common! I did not tell my naturally thin parents about my surgery at all because they would not understand. They would think it was a cop out, the easy way. They don't care about anything other than how I appear. They finally took notice of the weight loss and all they can say is "keep up the good work" In other words "lose more" but, what if I was done? What if all I wanted was to fit back into my clothes? You're so right, society only accepts thin and thin is reallly skinny. Not truly THIN. Anything more than skinny is chubby!
I like your attitude and I need to be more like you! I think YOU are aweseome!
