I have had RNY almost 6 years ago this March…But one problem I have had is that I have always seen myself as the 300 lbs girl…I mean one reason why I got this surgery was because I wanted to look like all the Models or Celebrities I saw in the magazine’s that I looked at everyday for 25 years…When you look at those sort of things it kinda brings your self esteem down even lower…And of course I always that thought is what guys would prefer…Not someone who looked like me…
Well now that I’m skinny I look at these Models and Celebrities and think your not as skinny as I thought…And it’s not that big of a drawl for me anymore…I have come to realize that most men like girls with a little junk in their trunk…But I put myself down so much that I had this perception that I was never good enough…And you know what it’s not about what I look like it’s about how I treat others and it always has been…
I think you are beautiful - inside where it is most important but outside to!!
Lynn,
Thank you for saying that…I feel the same way about you..
