Do others understand what you are feeling?

For me it was more about the outside of my body matching who I was on the inside.  I was MO for twenty years and watched my entire adult life pass by like a bystander at a party you aren't invited too.  I wanted to wear clothes I saw in fashion magazines, high heels, fitted dresses and jeans that didnt bind that I could actually breath in.  Honestly I never had any desire to ride my bike 20 miles or fly a kite or jump out of a plane, that isn't me.  Its different for everyone, what you want from wls is your hearts desires, mine are mine.  I wanted to be able to cross my legs, paint my toes, dress up and feel feminine and have people notice me instead of ignore me like I was invisible.  I guess the fact I was normal weight until I was 20 made it harder, I got loads of male attention until then and then got married and got MO and turned completely invisible to everyone including myself.  I was like a ghost walking the earth, miserable and lost, my family was horrified by my size, completely embarassed by the way I looked.  I never ever ever for one minute made my son feel bad about how he looked because I know how incredible it is on your self esteem.  My son is quite full of himself, it makes me laugh actually he thinks hes a player, but good for him atleast hes not like I was and he doesn't have any body size issues.  He told me his idea of the perfect womyn was Kim Kardashian, yeah I have to agree she looks pretty damn good.  So to sum it up, no it never stops suprising me to see my flat stomach and the tiny clothes that I can now wear and the fact its my dream come true.
