Fat Cinderella's Ball

It IS in two separate videos for the whole 8 minute segment, so don’t forget to watch the ending on the video on the bottom of that page!

⁃ Somedays you are starving and can eat everything in sight. Other days you’ll barf up 4oz of chicken ⁃ You’ll get loose skin in places you didn’t think you could get loose skin ⁃ Even when you aren’t losing weight, your body is still changing so take lots of photos ⁃ It is weird how a month in a plateau can still make your clothes looser, so use those as a guide too ⁃ You will plateau..sometimes for months ⁃ You’ll lose motivation ⁃ Vitamins are VERY important ⁃ You’ll get drunk really fast, but sober up quickly ⁃ It is easy to develop a transfer addiction. For me it was pain meds after knee and dental surgery. Tell your docs up front. ⁃ You’ll have a lot of body dysmorphia. Some days you’ll feel so hot and other days you’ll cry at a photo of your fat calves ⁃ It is shocking when you realize there are people in your life who will have never known the fat you ⁃ Some people still won’t like you ⁃ Someone will always have a better body ⁃ People will think that the post-op diet is the forever diet and shame you for eating more than 2tbsp of yogurt in their presence ⁃ People will ask you how much you weigh now ⁃ You’ll hear a million stories about someone’s cousin’s sister’s neighbor who “gained it all back” ⁃ You’ll be asked a million times if you are “afraid of gaining it all back” ⁃ You are allowed to eat. No food is inherently bad ⁃ You’ll do things without thinking, like sitting on a yoga ball not afraid of popping it and when you realize it didn’t pop, you’ll cry and the people that never knew you at 405lbs won’t get it ⁃ Even though the medium will fit, you still try on the XL ⁃ You still get ads from Lane Bryant and feel guilt about trashing them when at one time that was the only option you had ⁃ You’ll be angry the first time a man who previously let a door slam in your face goes out of his way to open it ⁃ You don’t understand why people want you to proselytize your success to their overweight friends/relatives. You don’t know them or their story
