SORRY FOR THE THEIVERY BUT I HAD TO HAVE IT




What I Won't Miss:
1. Having people call me “big mama.”
 
2. Seeing the looks on the people’s faces that I knew from high school. 
3. Having family tell me I’ve gained a lot of weight. 
4. Taking pictures from the head up, only. 
5. Having bras cut into my sides. 
6. My feet and ankles hurting when I stand up. 
7. Legs hurting when I walk or try to climb stairs 
8. Being out of breath from walking. 
9. My back killing me during the day. 
10.Waking up in the middle of the night from back pain. 
11.Feeling exhausted all the time. 
12.Always being sleepy. 
13.Not finding any cheap stylish clothes my size. 
14.Having clothes from when I was smaller that I just don’t want to throw out. 
15.Not fitting my favorite top. 
16.Getting evil looks from the person next to me on the plane or bus. 
17.Feeling self conscious about how I look. 
18.Not being able to cross my legs. (I don't remember ever being able to do this) 
19.My fingers and toes being swollen. 
20.Having to spend more money than thinner people on my clothes 
21.Having men avoid eye contact with me. 
22.Not being able to give myself a pedicure comfortably. 
23.Having to do the fat people shoe tie. (u know, tie your shoes from the side.)  
24.My shoes being too tight on my feet. 
25.Having to wear flats instead of high heals. 
26.Feeling like I need a fork lift to get out of the bathtub 
27.Having people at a pool stare at me. 
28.Being treated like I can't do anything athletic by small people. 
29.People saying “you’re so soft, I just want to hug you.” 
30.Not being able to see my feet. 
31.Looking at pictures and not recognizing myself. 
32.Having people say "you’re pretty for a big girl." 
33.Using the big girls stall in the bathroom (aka handicap stall) 
34.Having my breasts be a net for my food. 
35.Having the bath water only cover half of my body. 
36.Avoiding all cameras 
37.Dreading my jeans in the drier, because you know it's going to be smaller when it comes out.
38.Taking blood pressure medicine. 
39.Distant family members thinking its ok to comment on my weight gain. 
40. Buying Big Beach Towels and using them as a regular towel. 
41. Always wearing my business shirts untucked. I look like a fool with them tucked in.
42. Being called "lil mama"
43. Being told you aint big

psych eval

Dec 24, 2008

well i had my psychiatric evaluation today  in a way i dont think he is gonna approve the wls because i was sexually abused when i was a child 3 times and according to him people or young ladies in my situation become obese so that men wont be attracted to me and he thinks if i have wls that once i loose the weight men will be more or more men will be atrracted to me and i will go crazy but that is not the case at all i use to have some resentment toward men but i realy dont feel that way any more to a certain extent it is according to how they the men come at me like i was told once before is you gone let me get that or am i gonna have to take it shit like that scares me and i go into a depressed and scared reality but after all that i went through who would not be afraid well i hope that he approves me for wls yall my family pray for me i really want to do this for me and my family and my health ya heard
