Dear Fat Girl in my Head,

 Although we both know that it takes roughly 5 bites for me to feel satisfied (or occasionally even full), you still try to talk me into eating more.  Not always.. your voice is fading as time goes on, but COME ON.. it's been over a year now!  
 I hate to say it (wait.. no, I really don't), but I think it's time we parted ways.  I know that you have TRIED.. at least we finally agreed on what foods were acceptable to eat.  I'm afraid that isn't enough to continue this (strange and possibly grounds for commital in some states) relationship.   You just don't have my best interest at heart.
    It's not you.  It's me. 

    Sincerely,
           Samantha



 

That reminds me of the lyrics to a song that has become a fav since WLS: So Long Self by Mercy Me


Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One *****ally is worthy
So let me say

So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long, self

Stop right there because I know what you're thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Can't you see

Don't feel so bad (don't feel so bad)
There'll be better days (there'll be better days)
Don't go away mad (but by all means)
Just go away, go away

 I am going to look this song up right now! 

Sometimes I feel more like the Pink song.. Don't Let Me Get Me

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Other days I feel a little more Christina Aguilera - Beautiful .

I have been working on evicting the fat girl in my head as well LOL Great post!!

I know, mine always tries to convince me that whatever food I order at a restaurant or put on my plate/in my bowl at home it not going to be enough! She's a liar, it always is!

Ah yes, we played that game, too.  I just went out and bought really small plates.  ^_^ 

They say if you talk to yourself, you're alright, but if you ARGUE with yourself, you have a problem.  What if you win the arguement??  Is it still a problem? 

How long are you post-op? Good way to get that little voice out of your head.

I had my surgery July 1st, 2010.. so just over 13 months. 

That's good, you look fantastic, congrats on your progress.

Thank you so much!
