Thank you so much for being so brave to post your journey. I know what its like to have always been the "fat" kid/teen; I went my entire junior year exercising like mad eating one healthy meal a day BUT supplemented my other two meals with surgery energy drinks to get by. I got down to a size 15 but the person I was with still made me feel horrible about not being as skinny as her so I was forced to leave and just couched surfed till I was 17 and was able to live on my own, however, by this point my depression and anxiety was so bad that I just used food for comfort. Today I am 25 (almost 26) and weigh 345. I also am starting my journey, trying to show a 10-25 pound loss before they see me so they can see how hard I've been trying on my own after a year of my weight not budging a pound in either direction. Thank you again and I do look forward to the rest of your journey. Good Luck 😁🤗
Lea!!! Thank you soooo much!! I totally get where you are coming from! Everything you said sounded like my life verbatim!! I hope that you’re in a good place emotionally and are ready for this tough journey. I have to give you a big good luck on the weight loss. I personally haven’t seen the scale budge at all, and I am thankful my insurance and doctor doesn’t require a weight loss to quality, otherwise surgery just wouldn’t happen for me! I wouldn’t call myself brave but again thank you for the kind words. I honestly posted mostly because I think my boyfriend has heard the same things over and over again. I just needed to get some of my nervous energy out!! Good luck and keep me posted on your progress!!
