If I Stop Posting......

Then I am caving into the bullies, letting them win, letting them take control, I understand what it is like to be an outcast, an outsider, the person who doesn't fit in anywhere.  I don't post to be popular, I post to be real, to show where I came from and where I am.  If it offends anyone I post pictures of what my body looks like at 50 years old after nearly 10 years at goal, after a tummy tuck and an arm lift and a neck lift then I suggest you block me.  I post to help encourage people that it is possible, just like the pictures of the person I idolized when I was new.  I needed to believe, I wanted so badly to just look normal and have a normal body, which I have not completely repaired nor will I ever.  But I am proud of what I have done and what I have accomplished.  I don't need to brag or show off my pictures.  I don't need to post at all, I have a full time job and a very fulfilling hobby in nature photography, so its not like I have nothing better to do with my time then to come here and stir up ****  I do it because I actually care about people starting out and care about them seeing what is really possible.

And no need to reply, I won't look back at this post again. 

Oh thank you, I now remember why I stopped commng to this  forum, people had become mean, I thought we were here to help one another, not rip each other apart. I had my surgery years ago, I don't always eat right, I don't take vitamins, I don't exercise, but, I do have labs done every month, and I AM fine!!! I lost 137 pounds 6 years ago,it's still gone, i am in better health than I was at 40 (I'm 61) . don't assume everyone has to do things your way to be right.
