Re: what it's like to be fat

We are PROS at self-flagellation, are we not? Even though I've had years of

peace, providing I steer clear of Peeps, I still can whup myself for that

one, every time Peep crosses my mind, for the crimes in the past, the

potential crimes in the future.

Hey, I'm good at it, why not?

Oh, I totally agree. What amazes me to no end, though, is my desire

for knowledge to keep myself healthy. I NEVER felt this way before.

Maybe it was the hopelessness of yo-yo dieting, the lack of support,

like we have here or that I'm just getting older and more aware of my

health, but whatever it is, it's a good thing.

I feel I have to work just as hard at this as I have any other diet. The only

difference being that this *works*! I've always maintained that I can have

all the self~control in the world if something *works*! If it doesn't

work...then why bother after a few months of self~deprivation, and no

results. That was the story of my life...I feel the surgery simply evened

the playing field for me, and I am probably more like a normal person,

processing my food more normally. So now, I eat tiny bits of food, and

bypass most of it...and can maintain my weightloss. Before, I could eat tiny

bits of food, and absorb every last nutrient out of it...and pack it on as

fat. Ugh! That was frustrating. So if you are equating *easy* with

*works*, then I am with you....but really *easy*? It's not. I work at it.

Oh, yeah. I work at it too. And I never put much effort into exercise all the

other times I tried to lose weight. Now I do. Of course, all those other

times I was a lot younger, and so it seems the weight came off quicker. But

it does seem easier to stick with it, and maybe that's bcuz I feel like I've

got a fightin' chance THIS time........

*************

That is my point exactly. It WORKS! So my efforts are rewarded. I think we

work just as hard to lose as we ever did...the operative word here

is...Success! I'm happy. Anyone that says we do it the easy way, are IMO a

bit off in the head. We are just used to not getting, or giving ourselves

credit for what he have accomplished. I think we all deserve a pat on the

back for a job well done...and we need those affirmations on a daily basis, I

truly believe it keeps me straight.
