I have no idea WHY??? I feel this way I have lost 117lbs, but I'm almost shameful of it.....I thought that I would have been so proud and happy and screaming from the top of my lungs give me my -100 loser cards please (before having surgery i could not wait to receive one) but I haven't posted since surgery I still buy clothing to big. I truly can't accept a compliment with out feeling bad or thinking about my dreadful arms....by no means am I not happy for the fact that i can wipe my azz with out feeling like I need to shower(sorry ....tmi) or being able to shop of the rack in old navy$19 jeans this weekend or Macy's "regular section",but I think I'm afraid to let the big girl go, afraid that shedding all the extra layer will let people in. Am I crazy, did anyone feel like this?

Girl I still don't shop in the stores in the middle of the mall because I feel like folks are looking at me! And if I do it is during xmas time so they might think I am buying it for someone else...lol WILL NOT step into a dressing room though!

I know it sounds silly but it is my reality

Hey hon...

I don't feel your way per se.  But I have been afraid and at times still are.  Girl be proud of your 117lb loss.  Stop buying your clothes too large.  Let that fat girl go (I know it's easier said then done).  You didn't have this surgery in vain.

Now that I read more; I understand.  I am not feeling that way because I haven't hit the 100 lb weight loss; and I don't know how it feels to buy regular sizes. I am still in the plus size section (which sucks by the way).  But I am sure this is a scary reality; and I totally empathize!!

VSG on 12/20/07 with

J, big girl was not your friend

1.        She helped hide your insecurities;

2.       She was a relationship barrier;

3.       She was quite possibly less healthy;

4.       She moved slower;

5.       It took forever to find her a pair of jeans that fit properly;

6.       Contrary to belief, she wasn’t LESS vulnerable;  and

7.    She had an itchy booty

Let her go gurl.  Once you get to know her replacement, you won’t be able to stop shouting:  no matter how this weight came offa me, it came offa me.  (remember drunken whitney in waiting to exhale:  "I still look good" her friends took too long cosigning so she said it louder:  I SAID I STILL LOOK GOOD).   :rofl2:
Go get your poms-poms and come back.......we’ll wait.

 

                                  be happy, laughter burns calories
