My Perfect Life
I know that weight loss surgery is probably in NO way going to make my life perfect. But lately, I have been obsessing that it will be! I have been severely overweight since I was about five years old. Despite the fact that I am very smart with an above average IQ, very pretty, funny, etc. I have been constantly ignored and considered second best my whole life. I know the only reason for this has been my weight problem. I know girls who can't spell the word C-A-T and are butt ugly who can land a gorgeous man, a successful high paying career etc. Why? Because they are so skinny. I know I am not perfect,and could definitley use improvement, but I feel I have always had a lot to offer. But, because I weigh over 300lbs. no one cares to see what I have to offer. I feel like I have ruined my entire life so far. I am only 25 and have 4 children, married the wrong man by far, didn't finish college etc. Despite that I would have my children all over again and love them dearly, I feel as though I "settled" for less in my life just because I had too! Now, with this surgery approaching, I feel like at last I will have the chance to make it all right again. I will finish school, get a fantastic job, find a better husband, give my children everything they want! I know this is just a fantasy in reality. I know for most, that the weight loss doesn't change their life from being bad to perfect. But, have any of you had these same feelings while preop? Am I normal? Please don't bash me for not doing this for the "right" reasons. I AM doing this for my health as well! And do not bash for me for calling my life with my children bad. I DO LOVE THEM And would have them all over again!!!! I just want to know how to stop planning this unrealistic view of my future life as a postop. Thank you!
