Hi,
I totally agree with you. I have not told any longtime friends that knew me skinny. I have told 1 close work friend that understands my struggle. She is very fit, but justs wants me to be happy. But during my weight loss struggles I actually had a friend say, "just give that up, aren't you tired of talking about diets". I never talk about this with her since then.
And of course the family is another thing. I have plenty of relatives that have had cosmetic surgeries even tummy tucks, breast lifts, face lifts. And 1 of them had all of these. But I know they would talk about it behind my back in a negative way.
So mainly, it is between me and this forum!!!
By the way, my too tight skirt 16 plus is falling off of me today. I am 20 days post op. I have lost almost 20 pounds. People are already commenting. I am happier than I have been in a long,long time.
Funny how being fat changes me. I have so much going for me, great husband, great kid, great job....... But I am unhealthy, unhappy and low self-esteem. I have had so much anxiety about death..... But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it makes want to cry when I think about the better person and mom I will be.
Hugs and kisses,
Amy
