Hey Chickie! Jealousy is an ugly emotion, isn't it? I consider myself *extremely* lucky that I spent the majority of my life NOT being jealous. Even at my heaviest I was never *jealous* of skinny people...I knew that it would be up to me to get there. Having said that, I felt my first pang of jealousy when my friend had WLS. I was always comfortable knowing that she was the heavy one (I was 5'10" and around 280, she was 5'6" and around 310). That green monster reared its VERY ugly head once she started to lose weight. I began to actually hate her! I am SO ashamed of feeling that way but I have come to terms with it. I got over it and never looked back (well, sadly, I got over it because I now weigh less than she does again!). But, sister...I have to say, from time to time I get little pangs of it even now. I am a solid size 10. I am not necessarily jealous of those in a size 6...but I DO feel pangs of envy for those who have been able to get plastic surgery. I am SO happy with my weight loss...thrilled! But my thighs and tummy are DISGUSTING and I feel almost as ashamed of them as I did about my fat. What I am trying to say is...I totally understand and I totally empathize. It kind of bites that we went through this entire process and are still not completely happy with the results, right? But you, Chickie...are an inspiration! And I KNOW you will reach your goals...you just have to believe you can! All my love and big, bug hugs! JM

Jaci, You are not alone.

I am no where near my goal of 180 (current weight 232). 180 will still have me as overweight if not obese for my height. I have lost 130 pounds and am still an 18W, not a two or four or "sixes that just hang on me".

I remind myself that everyone has to live thier own story and I have to live mine. I am healthy. I am able to eat well. I have had no complications. I can move. BUT I WANT TO BE A SIZE 8!!!!!!
