Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Letting go...
It's me again, with my hard emotional times. maybe someone else out there can relate. I am having trouble letting go. I have realized a lot about myself throughout this process. How much of a control freak I am, but more importantly how I hold on to things; feelings, people, old relationships etc. I noticed that I still have most if not all of my clothes from the strt of this journey. Now I ask you, what the heck am I going to do with size 18 and 20 jeans when I wear an 8? why is it so hard to give them away? Im not afraid that I will need them. I know I will never go back there again. (Eventhough I am a lazy bum  ) but, for some reason I cannot part with these clothes. Is it because I'm afraid I would be giving up an actual part of ME?? what is it??any thoughts?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

AWE....you are not going back there Kenya! Just let someone else have them that really needs them. An abuse house. Those are really good places to give to. That is what my intentions are as soon as I get comfortable in my new clothes. I still find myself wanting to "hide in my old clothes".

pack em up....sell them on ebay...donate them....LET IT GO!!!! I found that getting rid of everything helps me focus on my goals...and the fact that I NEVER want to be back there again!! Draw the line in the sand, step over, and don't look back Kenya!! You have so much to be proud of....and you look FANTASTIC!! |

I TOTALLY agree with them! I'm not sure "why" you can't let go, but I think this is just another step we take in this journey. Maybe because it's actually admitting "success"? I'm just not sure.

Honey I have been overweight my entire life. I takes me years to let somthing go. My problem? Being a single mom and knowing how hard I had to work to buy that new pair of jeans or top. Shoes are the worst. I have a pair I had when i was 18 years old. There what my mom called winter brown shoes. The kind you wear with jeans to get away from tennis shoes that time a year. There oldies but goodies. I can put them on and wear them and get compliments all day. Now me I dont have enough closet space to fit the old and new me in it so..... I will have to bend sooner or later lol. |

Kenya, I know you will be ready when your ready--I think it has to do with our comfort levels--at least it did for me. I was always comfortable in bigger clothes. But I'm finding now it's getting easier to let go--I don't ever want to go back to those big sizes (and I know you don't) I gave them to people that could use them. I know you'll be giving them away when your ready sweetie, and when you do you will feel so good about it.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Kenya - arent you moving? You might decide you dont want to deal with them anymore. It was easier for me to let my bigger sizes go - a friend who had had WLS had given them to me when I really needed them - a huge blessing to me. I figured someone out there would need them as much as I did and, sure enough, one of the girls at work asked what I was doing with them. It was nice to pass them along to her. I did keep my biggest pair of jeans that I practically lived in - just to remember where I've been. Soul searching is good, and does it really matter if you hang onto a few things? When you're ready, you'll let go. (I still have my baby stroller of all things!!! My kids are 15 & 17!)

I hold on too, I whip that dead horse like a maniac. My husband, family, friends, even my doctor tell me they are sick of hearing about something that happened to me September of LAST YEAR! I am just now learning how to go on from that and not have it on my mind constantly. Especially when someone I trusted and thought alot of hurts me (as in this thing everyone is sick of hearing about) I just let it get to me, I personally think that it is because I dont open that part of me up so easily and when I let someone in there I get hurt easily. I have spent this whole time since last year not letting ANYONE in there at all. I understand I am only punishing myself and have become bitter, but like I said, I HAVE to whip that dead horse!!! I can remember a nice thing that someone did for me when I was 5, but just the same I dont forget the bad too. I cant explain this, I have been to a therapist about it, but I seem to get nowhere with it. As for holding on to things, my grandma was like that and it always stressed me out that she had so much stuff, I just dont have that problem, I feel unburdened when I let physical stuff go, so why cant I unburden myself of emotional stuff?!?!
