This real solution to the excess weight problem is making an uncompromising decision to not settle for the body in which you are living today and beginning to lose weight to become healthier, more attractive and as a result — a happier person. I've lost 101 pounds since my banding 8 months ago. The other day my doc suggested I go to this class on how to meet people, why men and women are different etc. She thought i was ready for it physically. At first I thought, wow, wouldn't it be great to meet someone. I've never had anyone really special in my life and I'm 40 years old. I let my mind wander and have little daydreams. Everytime I went somewhere I imagined being there with someone else. Then after one week I've just freaked out. The reality of meeting someone set in. How do I explain the port? I feel like such a freak. I've still got weight to lose - about another 25 pounds. My thighs are awful and stretched. I know they say you shouldn't get naked with someone unless you love them and if they love you it wouldn't matter. But, how does someone even begin to love you if you won't let them know anything about you? I've been bingeing this week just thinking about it. I feel really sad,:cry like I want to gain weight again so no-one has any expectations of me. Can anyone relate to this? Congratulations on your weight loss and all that hard work!! I was married in my 20's - not a happy marriage - and divorced after almost 20 years. I'd been through lots of hard stuff and thought I'd probably never marry again. But I found the sweetest, most supportive man... I'm about 100 pounds overweight I'm getting banded July 1 and he's supportive of my decision to have the surgery but he says he loves me just the way I am. I'm betting you'll find a great man - I discovered there ARE some out there - who won't think you're a freak but WILL think you're a strong person who has worked hard to accomplish your goals. So go to that class... You should be very proud of yourself and all that you've accomplished. Dating is a scary, scary place. It opens us up to being hurt in many ways. I've been dating a lot lately- mostly guys from match. But for me, it's all practice and preperation for the day when I do meet the right guy. It's also a heck of a lot of fun to meet new people and be out with a man that buys me a drink or two. Have you thought about talking to a counselor about some of these issues? I believe dating takes a lot of confidence, resilience, and patience. It also takes the ability - when you do get hurt- to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again. If I were you, I might try getting a new haircut, buy some new clothes... Sure, your thighs might sag but I would bet money that your skin is radiant, your face glows, and your new body looks killer in the right clothes. Focus on the positives with your new body, get to know it and how you feel in it. Dating is not all about what size you are or aren't. I dated even at my heaviest. If you feel pretty and sexy, then that is how you will act. That doesn't mean that you can't be shy and go slow... My hunch is that once you get out there a little- start small- join a club or organization with male's included, you'll start to open up and even surprise yourself. You're going to do just fine. The fact that you want this badly enough is a sign that you are ready to take the first steps. Favorite quote- Leap and the net will appear. Megan Let me offer the guy perspective. Everyone forget that I'm a pastor now, for the sake of this discussion... Nobody looks like the girls of Playboy or any other magazine using the magic of air brushes. Not that I've ever seen a Playboy... I played football and wrestled in highschool and college, which means I've spent some time in lockerrooms with guys too. We need lots of comfort, so we ate a lot. Voila, here we all are. I'm sure that's why you're craving , and thinking the thoughts that you have been thinking. And there's nothing wrong with that -- it is a scary thing, and fear is something we were created with so that we'd stay away from things that can hurt us -- a neccessary survival skill. As we grow and mature, we learn and forget and relearn what can really hurt us, and what won't really hurt us. Then you can, with both your mind AND your heart, figure out what's safe for you to do. Again, just to reinforce this concept -- don't give us guys too much credit. As deeply loving and tender as we are capable of being, once we're in the bedroom and the clothes come off, we tend to be a little one-track-minded You've done an awesome job. Keep up the good work. We spend our whole lives hiding behind the fat and if it goes what the hell are we left with? I am still considering banding but I can't seem to take that final step - because I'm too damn scared of a slim future. It is what I want so why on earth is it so hard????? I feel safe fat - but I've recently split from my husband and the thought of dating is extremely exciting but also hugely frightening - certainly not something I feel able to do at my current weight. Its just that losing the weight now after spending so many years stuck at home, refusing to out with my husband, and then getting slim once we've split is like a kick in teeth for him. I feel like I've wasted his time does that make any sense? I feel a little glimmer of hope that I can do this. Admitting all my fears to a counsellor seems just as scary as dating! Talk about making yourself vulnerable. It would be so much easier to turn off all the thoughts and just ignore the desire to be with someone like I always have. Thats what I've done in the past, whenever my mind goes down this track I get scared and just turn those wants and needs off. Gee, I wonder why I got so fat?? I guess in my heart I believe there are some great guys out there who are decent and loving. And I want to believe that they could like me. I know i'm a good, caring person who has lots of love to offer. I'm just having trouble getting past the physical stuff. You are brave to confront your feelings. American society being what it is, a lot of large people have entire areas of their lives closed off to them because they are deemed unworthy of sex or love. The worst part is, we start to believe it ourselves. Jack, I think this is the first time someone has quoted Kant on LBT! If you start citing Critique of Pure Reason I'm going to start worrying about you. It's just that losing the weight now after spending so many years stuck at home, refusing to out with my husband, and then getting slim once we've split is like a kick in teeth for him. I feel like I've wasted his time. Shelley, the band is for YOU and your health. What's past is past, including whatever you did or didn't do with your husband. How have you wasted his time? He is a grown-up and made his own choices. Now you're considering a new choice for yourself: a tool to heal and improve your body. Hey, if after you've lost weight you are such a stunning fox that you make your ex-husband kick himself for losing you, fantastic -- but it's really about getting healthy and getting another chance at life. We all have some fear of change. But if you hang around here for a while, you'll find that most bandsters were even more afraid of NOT changing, and that's why we opted for surgery.
