jg,

it's rough at your age losing all that weight, in your head I mean. It's not always an easy road so be extra careful and take it slow. You will find the right person but get used to the new you for a while. I know it's difficult when you start getting lots of attention etc... but trust an old woman who is almost 50 and has been there. Are there books out there now for women after weight loss and dealing with the "new them"? If so get one it might help. It can be a confusing time, just warning you, take care brandyII.

i'm learning.. men arent any different whether it be you are 250 lbs or 145 lbs.. they are still annoying, confusing, obnixious, whiney brats... who have no idea what they want... ive also learned how i used to look at thinner people when i was heavier and think 'oh they think they are so much better/happier than me' Heavy or skinny, nothing changes.. the old deamons still follow you. You have to learn to be happy with yourself.

Never did i think that 6 months down the line I would be 5.2 lbs away from MY GOAL. This has all gone by so quick. I havent always followed the rules. I listen to my body, i eat what i want.. when i want.. and it seems to be working for me.. doesnt always work for everyone. Ive had my fair share of hospital stays/er visits/surgeries/iv drugs in the past 6 months and i NEVERRRRR WANT TO GO BACK THERE AGAIN.


So, newbies as much as you hate me and think im this evil bitch.. trust me ive been in your shoes.. hell im still there.. this isnt easy, but being negative and running your mouth isnt the best idea either. Learn from all of our experiences. Please, because i want all of you to succeed like i have in this amazing journey.

Congrats (again). I must say that I am a *little* jealous of you. I honestly thought that you followed every little WLS rule possible and that led to your tremendous and enviable success.

You are much younger then me and I'm sure that's a contributing factor. And I know that I'm losing exactly as I should for me and my body. I think I would be in a tailspin mentally right now if I were as close to goal as you are. I admire how you are handling everything.

You know that I never thought you were an evil bitch right? Although now I'm a bit confused as to what constitutes a newbie Perhaps I'm just a bit confused where I fit in at all.

And boys will be boys love your stories.
