I got married in 2010, I was so displeased with my pictures. Why? You can see how uncomfortable I am in most of them, covering myself up, trying to stick out my neck to avoid my double chin showing. I refused to post many of them on social media because I didn't like the way I looked. My wedding day was perfect, it was one of the best days of my life, so why am I uncomfortable looking at my pictures? I lost 50lbs after that. Going from 356 to 310 in just a few months, it was amazing.
We met with a fertility Dr not long after our wedding since we had been unsuccessful getting pregnant (while not trying, not preventing) and was told that I needed to lose 20lbs. I came back before the "deadline" the Dr had given me, having lost 38lbs, only to be told that it wasn't good enough and he wouldn't help me until I was under 200lbs. I was crushed, and needless to say, I lost all of my motivation. You would expect that I would have been more motivated to keep going, but I wasn't. To be told that losing 85lbs isn't good enough is indescribable.
I gained back 20lbs and have yet to lose it. I know what to do, but it just isn't working anymore. I need a push, one that I can't give myself. Surgery is going to push me to be better, I couldn't be more excited for this journey. I want to be in pictures with my children, go shopping with my friends, buy lingerie to wear for my husband, all these things that I don't want to do because of my weight, my body.
