"Now people see me differently but I still see fat girl lol I am working on it. I was out on a date and the guy made a comment about two large women who walk into the restaurant of course about there size. I was upset and felt a little insecure because I was not to shortly ago one of them."


Oh boy .. Isn't THAT the truth???

My experience in Home DePot left me with similar feelings... anger at the worker.. for being "so" helpful. I won't go into that now... I've shared enough about that disturbing --( to me) treatment. 

I think I may have gotten angry at the date. HA HA how about this....
right as he leans over to smooch... 
lean back away and say.... "I don't know if you want to kiss me... 
and  whip out my FATTY PICTURES... You may turn into a TOAD...

Oh wait... YOU ARE A TOAD... and no kiss from THIS PRINCESS is going to fix YOU!

ADIOS TOAD!




ok now see... I got all perturbed over that for you!

Thanks so much Yvonne!!  I will make a post very soon because it has been a journey!!

I am so proud of you.  You will always get that from people...telling you that you've lost enough because it is shocking to them.  I still have to tell my dad that I wear a medium top.  Eventually people will adjust and leave you alone!  You can just tell them "thanks for the suggestion" and not discuss it further.

It's going to take you a bit longer for your head to catch up with your body.  Don't ru**** before long you will settle into your new body.  I had 30 years of programming to change.  I was the jolly, joke telling, fat girl.  I wasn't really even female acting...sort of one of the guys.  I made a lot of fat jokes about myself.

I can't imagine how that felt for that guy to make fun of someone obese.  I think that's part of the reason I am so open about my surgery.  It keeps me out of that situation.  I know that some people don't know any better and they are quick to have opinions about things they do not know about.  Until you have walked in someone's shoes you don't really understand.

I'm so glad you stopped by and reported in.  Like I said...take your time.  Enjoy the life you've strived for and learn new life lessons.  We are like little kids starting over socially.  In so many ways I'm only 9 1/2 years old but it gets better every year.  Congrats in your progress and here's hoping you'll continue to thrive and have the life you've always wanted.
hugs, Y 

Kattro the waterpark thing is so funny!! You're right though...waterparks were not in my vocabulary for so many years.  I didn't even own a swimsuit for 30 years.  I still have the very first one that my husband bought me after losing the weight.
hugs, Y

Molly I am sooooooooo proud of you.  I would love for you to write something for me.  I want to share it in several places to inspire those that think regain is impossible to fight.  How incredible are you???   LOOK AT YOU GIRL!!! You are awesome!!  So proud of you and so proud to have your here inspiring other members.
Hugs, Y
