    Now that I am smaller I am no longer good enough for you is what you're saying. I don't know you, so why would I help you get a job here? I am not fat enough for you anymore. Between every line you just wrote you told me I was no longer good enough. FYI I am too good for you! You have a nice life and leave me alone.

We aren’t friends so I have no idea what he is rambling on about. These people are just crazy. They don’t know me from Adam or Eve, so I just don’t get why they contact me. Do they think I will respond like we are long lost lovers or long lost friends? I think they are sick and the messages are like watching a train wreck. I can’t stop them from sending them but I sure do get a good laugh from these douche bags. Lots more of this segment coming. I can’t help it if they send me the entertainment lol.

Am I There Yet?

When I look back at my life ten years ago the memories are very sad. I weighed over 550 pounds. I was married to a feeder. I was home bound, bed bound and in a wheelchair to leave the house. The destruction that was done to my body is something I will never fully recover from. I had an offer from a doctor that I couldn't refuse when I decided to have Gastric Bypass Surgery. Even though I have lost 300 plus pounds my body still hates me for the past. I ended up with Lupus and we of course have no idea how long ago it started. It fills in all of the why’s as to my other health conditions. The doctors could never say to me it was all because I was fat. The truth is I had Lupus for at least fifteen years before they said for sure I had it. Most of the tests back then were inconclusive.

How does it feel to do all of this work and have people behave like it was just a walk in the park? I can tell you it isn't cool and really makes me mad. My fuse gets shorter every time I am insulted by a stranger who makes a comment about my weight. My eye doctor asked me why the weight loss surgery didn't work for me. I told him if he had read a bit further he would have seen that it worked very well with a 300 pound loss. But that’s not good enough and I was judged yet again. I made him feel stupid with a few comments of my own. I had the same thing happen when I went for a nurse visit to get my B-12 shot. I filed a complaint against her. She was way out of line and said why are you still so fat and you had surgery!..

I have worked so hard over the past seven years to lose the weight and keep it off. Who else do you know that has made it this long and not gained it back? Everyone I know has gained it back. I am terrified that it could happen to me one day. But I say to myself I have the tools and the training to stay on track. When I fall off the wagon I dust off and get right back on track. I am so tired of people telling me I am going to fail. I am tired of people telling me I am not good enough. I am tired of being judged. Last week I walked up into the face of a man who was staring at me with blatant disgust. I asked him if there was a reason why he was staring at me like that. I also asked if he had a problem with the way I look. He didn't respond and ran back to his car. I told you my fuse is short and I am sick of it. FYI people it has been seven almost eight years and I have NOT gained it back. The weight I did gain I lost it and then some more recently. I am only 24 pounds away from the new goal I made for myself. It is not the number on the scale that makes me smile. Being alive makes me smile. I am now a size happy. Just let me be happy and stop with the negative comments about weight loss surgery.

I am sorry for those who lost people to complications post op. I am sorry for the ones who lost the battle due to not being able to get any help. I am sorry for that person at home in bed not able to do anything for themselves. Your mind works fine but your body won’t let you walk more than a few steps. The food addiction is so far gone you don’t notice it anymore. I’m sorry that anyone has to ever go through any of the things I have experienced. I hope you know that you aren't alone and people do make it to the light at the end of the tunnel. I may not be able to walk without a cane anymore and need new knees and foot surgery, but I am happy to be alive. The physical pain I suffered to get here and the daily pain is no joke. Friends have told me they have no idea how I survived. I survived because I wanted to live. I have a family and friends who love me and need me. I am a survivor period and will never quit.
MoMo Out!

    Hi Monique,
    I've read your reaction to my comment, when i told you your arms where, for my point of view, very attractive. If by some way i hurted you i sincerely apologise. I didn't think i could hurt you just by telling this...but it's a fact, and i'm sincerely sorry about it...
    Hope you a great day, and hope you'll have success for your plans....

    Hi Monique,
    Yesterday i told you your arms where, for my view, splendid has they actually are. You had a strong reaction that, in a way, I can’t really understand. But I was, and I still am, sorry to disturb you so much for such a little thing… You dare to delete me if I still told you how much I love your arms. I decided to stop our friendship on facebook. I totally respect you, but I can’t support this kind of reaction. I want a free world where I can be myself, not a false and hypocrisis world where I have to simulate conformity. I am fed up to lie to girls when I have to told them what attract me with them is their eyes (in fact it’s their arms, their boobs,…) and many men are in the same situation than me: they just couldn’t tell the truth, or they’ll have to assume a girl with nervous crisis for a long time… And after that, girls are deceipted when the men goes away after a few time… Why ? Because of the false, the lack of sincerity, of reality in the relationship… I dream of sincerity, reality, tolerance, and most of the time I see conformity, normativity, censure and false…. The BBW movment was, in his beginning, a real hope for me, the promise of a real world breaking all this falseness… now some of his members wants to be as the social prescription ask, skinny and no fat… I am so disappointed about this… Did the real world lost the game ? I hope you the best, but I think we don’t have anything more to share…

    LOL I had to laugh after I read this. I am glad you chose to delete yourself. You have no idea how hard I worked to lose 300 pounds then the doctors leave me incomplete. I will always be fat and I am fine with that. I just need to be comfortable in my own body. Right now I am not comfortable with the extra skin hanging and hurting me. Did you bother to read the Blog story and see the photo of my arm cut open because it was caught under a sharp edge. Being cut, burned while cooking and not being able to find a winter coat to fit my arms isn't fun or sexy to me in any way. I have no idea what we shared at all. After reading this note I can see you were only my friend on FB to look at my fat in my photos. For that shame on you. I am a person with real feelings and you don't care about my feelings so deleting yourself was the right thing to do.
  • April 25
  • Benjamin Parker

    I'm very happy if you laugh when you read me. But i'm sorry that you unfortunately doesn't understand at all. I've been many times to your blogs and i consider you as a human been with feelings, thinkings, and things to tell and to share. But why do you want to opposite feelings and body ? it's the old occidental way of thinking, bringing opposition between the material body and the soul (feelings, thinkings,...). I consider you've suffer a lot with your body, and i respect you when you want to solve this problems. But why been so aggressive just because someone tell you such a little thing, yes your arms are sexy and i doesn't see the problem when i told that...why threathen me like that ? Why this bad reaction ? I'll be happy for you if you solve your problem by any way which you consider the best. I never see anybody only as fat, even if i'm attracted by fat peoples i'll never consider somebody to be only fat, and every human has feelings and is an important and interesting being... But it will be very hypocritical to ignore the body, humans are both souls and body and you can't ignore this. I hope my e-mail will make you laugh one more time, i'll be very happy if it does. But i also hope you'll understand a little bit....
  • April 25
  • MoMo

    I was in a bad mood from hearing it over and over. As you know you aren't the only one that said the same thing. This experience is long, hard and very emotional. The threat was not towards you. I deleted the person the comment was for. So now you see you over reacted as well by unfriending me. 
Game over and I have had nothing more to say to Benjamin Parker since this last conversation. Meeting people who only want me for my fat is a huge turn off. He knows something is wrong so he lies to the women in his life. Did Ben truly think he had found fattopia by joining the BBW Community? The man lives out of the USA and plays on line with women in America. If he truly wanted a BBW as his soul mate, wife, BFF he would work towards meeting them. So far all he is doing is looking at fat and boobs on line while jerking off to strangers who just happen to be BBW’s. The truth is most men on the internet looking at BBW sites and random video clips etc, aren’t really looking for love. They are just a bunch of perverts on the internet. Real men make an effort to pick up the phone and call. Don’t bother texting, don’t you want to hear each others voices? Don’t you want to spend real time with that person? Not on Skype either. Where are the real men at? I know you can’t all be gay, married, dead or a combo of all three. I blocked Ben so he can’t contact me again. I did however save his photo since he is the Douchebag of the week #4. Congrats Ben you made the cut.

Dreams Do Come True

When I was a child everyone said stop eating so much extra food. I wasn’t because my mom fixed our plates for dinner. What I was doing was having a love affair with the Hostess Bakery and the local doughnut shop. It took me most of my life to get a clue what food was doing to me. When you open that first pack of Zingers, then move onto the cupcakes the rush from the sugar was like a drug. In the last seven years I have struggled and fought as hard as I can to live a new life. My new life isn’t the dream I had when I use to say “One day I will lose weight to make my parents happy.”

I was living in a world full of food comas and delusions. Once I was an adult I said I was going to get down to a respectable weight for my own body. I had no special number in mind. Next came the dream of me walking in high heels while wearing a sexy black dress and a lacy thong. I was going to attend a party and be the bell of the ball after some miracle weight loss took place. I had a much more active life after I lost weight in some ways. But the dream was just a dream. My knees are in such bad shape that my doctor asked me how I can even walk on them.
Every step is pain. Every step of the weight loss process is pain. When my food was no longer my drug I freaked out. In the last seven years I have had lots of therapy to learn how to control my eating disorder and food addiction. I have good days and bad days. The bad days come with consequences. My surgery still works. I still throw up and still have ass on fire from the wrong foods.

My dreams of having a normal life slowly fades away. My list of illness’s scare my doctor, so I a sure John Doe isn’t interested in me. Dating me is a project. Weeks or months go by and I am fine. Next thing you know I could be in the hospital close to death. How do I explain that to someone I want to be in a relationship with? Men run scared when they find out. I have my family all around me, but a man in my life would be nice to have again. I have taken a two year break after the psycho stalker ex has been out of my life.

How do I learn to trust again? How do I sit through the lies and BS they spew at you? How do I pretend I am interested in his paint ball wins? I hate dating, HATE it! If I could go to a match maker I would. Till then I will dream of Mr. Right. Will he ride in on a white horse and throw his cape down so I don’t step in the mud? Will he let me be me and understand my craziness? Who knows this is just a dream for now.

I am still a work in progress. Lots of my dreams have come true. I made them happen and fought hard for them to happen. I am thankful for my life and all of the people who helped me get here. The haters still hate, but the best revenge is living well. Romeo where the hell are you, I’m getting impatient. That’s the Scorpio in me.

Goodbye Wings

The phone call came in and we are set with a surgery date. I had everything in order, even made a new Will. Things the week before surgery were hectic with lab work and several pre-op visits. The surgery was postponed for a week due to a schedule error. It gave me more time, but I was so anxious. I was off my Prozac and Xanax so I was a crazy bitch pre-op. My cousin was visiting out of the blue. Nothing felt like it was in place. I felt out of control and had no way to let go of the need to control any and everything that has to do with me. My dream was coming true. I felt like at any moment the rug was going to be pulled from under me. I was afraid something would sabotage it. I had so many emotions I was going to explode.

The surgery was done where the rich and famous go to the hospital in Beverly Hills. In pre-op they couldn’t find a good vein. Mine are small and like to roll. Everyone tried, now my hands and feet now have track marks. They had a cool machine to find your veins, but with every stick mine roll. I was taken into the OR with no IV and nothing to calm me down pre-op. Good thing this isn't my first time at the Rodeo. The IV was placed in my neck. Once in the OR the Anesthesiologist leaned the table back pressed on my neck wham bam IV in. They start to position me, arrange the oxygen mask, asked if I wanted music playing then I am waking up in post-op. A three hour surgery took five hours to do on me. It was amazing to wake up and I thanked God for that one. Total skin removed was 12 pounds.

My Mom and cousin were there all day. Other family members came and went. My brother who arranged this for me did the night shift with me. He stayed late talking with me about everything. The pain was a 10 post-op so they had me on a pain meds machine. Every 8 minutes you can push the button. I had zero use of my arms. I couldn’t even scratch the tip on my nose. My brother spent the night wiping my forehead, nose, eyes as I cried from the pain at some points. He was there for me and it felt great to have him there. He really went above and beyond on this on.

I was in the hospital for three days maybe four, still hazy from pain meds. Nothing is ever just over night for me. The first day home I fell and the paramedics had to come lift me out of the drive way. I had just gotten out of the car, sat on a walker but the brakes weren’t all the way on. It rolled and I went with it. It was over 100 degrees, I am hot, in pain and sitting on the driveway. No way to use my arms and you can’t pull them or even touch them. Bandaged from shoulder to wrist they were unclear till I mentioned using a sheet to lift me to my feet. It worked and I was up then straight to bed.

I seriously wanted to smack my dad for yelling at me for falling down. He says he was trying to tell me how to get up. I call bullshit and cut off communication till I felt better. My mom is exhausted and worried about me all the time. I don’t heal well as we know from all of my major surgeries. I developed a huge blood clot and it busted open my arm pit a few days later. Back at the doctors office he was able to milk it out as he called it. I woke up in a pile a blood that morning so I knew something was wrong. Wound care began the next day. At least my favorite nurse who has been there for me during all of my wound care was still working and my nurse again. She is my wound whisperer. Along with being kind, caring, compassionate, she is an amazing person and nurse.

We are at the 52 day mark post op and the healing is happening much faster than ever thought. One arm should be closed up soon. Having Lupus makes everything harder and takes longer for me. I have no regrets and plan to play this journey out till the end. I guess the no pain no gain would apply here. My thighs are next and I have no idea if I can do one more surgery. More to come stay tuned.

MoMo Out!
