VENT AND REAL TALK HERE PLEASE READ: So pissed off right now! I got a private message from a person on a Fitness Page I follow asking for me to remove this picture cause she finds it offensive.. WTF is offensive about it? I posted under a before and after post about weight loss transformations. Someone please tell me what is offensive about it? I have on a classy elegant dress that I wore to a reunion. I do not have on alot of makeup, my hair is nicely styled. This picture was taken after losing 125 pounds and it was taken on October 17 of this year. I did not take the easy way out having weight loss surgery(I have had both Lapband(2006 it slipped and was remove) and now Gastric Bypass surgery done(2012 as a revision surgery). I have been obese all my life, my highest weight was 290 in 2006. My weight caused me so many health problems such as extreme high blood pressure, cholestrol, minor heart problem, and joint pain. My weight caused pre eclampsia while I was pregnant with Andrew. It caused me ridicule and shame for so many years. I finally feel I somewhat conqured my obesity with weight loss surgery. I have been on every diet out there since I was 10 years old and some did work but temporary. I went thought alot of therapy and counseling to make sure I was in the right mind set for surgery. I did no make this choice lightly and to have people say I took the easy way out truly bothers me. Weight loss surgery is just a tool to help me. I still have to eat healthy and clean and exercise or I will gain the weight back. Weight loss surgery is not a permanent solution. Some people are very ignorant and to those who are please do your research first before making rude comments. I try to inspire others with my weight loss journey daily, Iam only human I slip, I cheat I eat badly at times, I do not work out. I just no longer make these minor setbacks defy me, I know I have come extremly far in my journey. Iam not the same person I once was. I think I have gained my confidence back slowly, I think I have grown stronger as a person. Iam growing into the woman I always knew I could be. I did not need this right now since over the few months I have lost my motivation and have not been as good at my weight loss and work out dedication as I once was. I am not going to be so hard on my self cause its the holidays. I eat healthy for the most part and Iam active every day, Iam aware of what choices I make. I needed to get this off my chest cause getting that message from this woman saying she finds this picture offensive and to remove it truly upset me cause she does not know my journey. Thanks for taking the time to read this and God Bless.
