Hi ( ... )

Absolutely awesome :) That's all I really can say. You look great, you have a good grasp of what you need to work on and, I assure you, I'm in your cheering section.

I recognize many of the things you talk about still dealing with. I was only 271 at my high weight but I can relate with the "trauma" of watching yourself disappear and not knowing what to do with yourself. My head issues may be different but I can totally relate in my own way with much of what you said and I, as a perfect stranger, am proud of you for your achievements and realizations :)

Keep up the great work!

All I have to say is congrats!! I am 35 and 417 lbs myself. I am having my first consultation to get the surgery done tomorrow! I totally know exactly what you are saying with everything. I was just happy to see someone larger that had had surgery. Most people are in the 300s and to see someone larger like myself was a great relief! I was larger at one point and had terrible back troubles. So I know where you are coming from...like having to sit down when I made dinner. I had a computer chair that I would roll around the house in when I was doing chores, like vaccuming. Also when I did dishes I would have to sit, even to make a sandwich. Cause I couldn't stand long enough to do it. Now that I have lost a little bit I can walk more....I actually walked the whole zoo this past October and the difference is amazing but to actually have this surgery and have MORE things I can do will be totally life changing. Not many people realise how big of a deal that is to us. Something that seems so normal and routine is a big deal when you are ( ... )

You're off to a great start! sehrnett January 6 2010, 05:00:24 UTC

Thank you for being brave and posting everything.

I know it is hard. I lost 165 pounds and still weigh 220. I am a very tall woman and had to deal with being fat but will never be able to change how people view my height. A friend asked me recently how I handled it, when he got upset over how people often just gawk and so on. I told him all I can do is be happy and healthy. Other people's issues with my weight were theirs, just as how people deal with whatever other physical things we have are also theirs. We can only handle our own things.

I have come to know that I will battle my weight and my food addiction my whole life. Strength on your journey sister.
