It's a Vicious Cycle

Some of you may be thinking,"Is she really going to blog about her weight loss that much? How much can there be to say?", but I want to tell you, I have a lot to say. There is not one day that goes by that I don't think about my weight loss, or the surgery, or the fear of regain. Every single day something goes through my head that is weight loss/health/surgery related.

It's the same as when you're fat. Your mind is your own prisoner. Not one day goes by that you are not reminded of your weight or health or girth. It's either you are feeling fat, you are put in an embarrassing situation, today is the last day you are going to put something unhealthy in your mouth, you will start exercising and dieting on Monday... I know, I've been there - believe it or not, I'm still there.

Fat Bastard said it best,"I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle.". Looking a bit like Fat Bastard when I watched that movie for the first time, as funny as it was, that part did bring a little tear to my eye. I remember I went and looked in the mirror and pulled my face down into my neck and began to mock myself,"Hey! I'm Fat Bastard!". Then I pushed my double chin to the side and tried to envision what my face would look like thin. I now have that face, the thin face I envisioned.

So, yes, everyday I should have something to say about my weight loss experience. Please understand that these are my experiences. You may empathize, you may share some of the same experiences or you might not. Some days may be happy, some may be funny, some may be sad, etc. but I am really looking forward to sharing everyday with you.

Back then I couldn't even envision my face thin. It's better than I'd hoped in some ways and not as good as I'd hoped in other ways.

I had no idea my face was so long and rectangular.

You're georgous, Puppie. I could see that even in your pre-op pics. You have a beautiful smile.
