I'm so ashamed

[sweetquietjox]

I have just been weighed and i cant believe how big i am, sorry of course i know how big i am i ment to say i never knew how much i weighed as i have never owned any scales. It took my breath away when she told me, i feel so ashamed of myself, really how could i let myself get this bad.:cry:
Im so pleased i have found this site and finally doing something about, time to take my head out of the sand and face facts, its all my on doing and i need to start watching what i eat, the new me starts from now.

Sorry rant over. :wave_cry:

Oh Jo dont worry too much there are quite a few people who never weigh and hide their heads in the sand.

As you say, at least you are now not in denial so it will be easier for you to sort this problem out.

I wish you luck on your journey and please dont be ashamed, you didnt do it on purpose hun. xxxx

I remember when I went to my assessment at the Manchester Royal and they weighed me at 182kg or 400 pounds. I had no idea that I was that heavy and I was just so disgusted with my self for allowing that to happen

This is all about your future honey so dwell not upon the past and concentrate on getting as ready as you can for your operation and the new you

 

[dottychic]

Joanne... precious... we have all been there... xxx

Dearest Joanne,

I could feel your pain and fully understand how you are feeling.

For many years I had totally 'avoided' the weighing scales... putting it off for another time.... and that time never came... and my health went from bad to worse.

As Karl and everyone so rightly says... we have to be starting somewhere and I'm so proud and pleased that you have stepped on the scales and also reached out on here.

The wls is such a tremendous aid for us to work with & I'd be so happy for you to hang onto me... I've had my op postponed before on health grounds... but I'm living in hope for the New Year.

It would be lovely to share your journey Joanne and for us to work together...

We also do a Saturday weigh in and daily food diary if it is any help to you.... feeling vulnerable and alone is part of this journey... so hang onto us Angel.

Here for you precious... always at your side and don't hesitate to get in touch... xxx

I was in denial. I couldn't weigh myself on normal scales and thought I was 'about' 25 stone!

When I came in at near 32 stone I was shocked and embarassed too. It just will mean you will look and feel more fantastic than you thought you would

 

[sugga]

My heart goes out to you love. You will soon have your wls and you will never look back. I for one will be joining you on your journey and holding your hand, it is hard now but we will all get to where we want to be hopefully in the new years. xxxx

There's no hope involved sweetheart, you will lose the weight and you have nobody to prove ANYTHING to except yourself. As Karlos and others said, don't dwell on the numbers now, concentrate on learning all you can and also getting as fit and well as you can for your operation. Good luck my lovely xxx

 

[blueeyes]

Hi hun,

it's completely shocking when you first find out after not weighing for a long time. I can relate! From about the age of 18 I could no longer weigh myself on conventional scales, so I simply didn't weigh.
Now I have a set of scales that works for me, and I SO SO look forward to seeing a smaller number!!

And before long, you will too! What everyone said is right. You're taking steps in the right direction. Owning up to one's weight and establishing what needs to happen is step one I guess.

I wish you all the very best for your journey and look forward to following your progress xx

 

[sweetquietjox]

Thankyou all for your wonderful words ofen couragement i will try and keep u all update on my progress x

 

[Katkit1]

Well Done on having the courage to go forward with this - remember its not a race, it has taken a long time to add the weight, and will give you so much pleasure once you loose it!

Good Luck on your wls journey hun x




Love Kat x
