I lost 12 stone after having gastric band surgery. I was always confident, but I am happier in myself and feel great when I get 'looked at' by guys - it is quite a new concept to me. I am more confident when going for interviews for example, before, I was afraid that an employer would not be able to look past my size, or think I was lazy or whatever. I love being able to buy whatever clothes I want and not be limited to shops like Evans. If I got poor service or whatever in a shop, I would huff and puff and walk out so I did not draw attention to my size. Now I feel like I can complain if I want to. I know that is a strange one, but it is true. My son no longer gets teased about having a fat mother. Although all of your problems do not magically disappear when you are slim - I have a lot more self-respect. I know I cheated and didn't diet, but you asked how I felt. I do believe, however, that too much emphasis is made on being thin and people are wrong to judge a person on their size alone. I have discussed my own personal experiences but, in reality, a person should find their happiness no matter what size they are. Health Question & Answer
I haven't lost weight but my friend did she lost A LOT and it changed her whole life is she happy i don't think she is, we use to hang out all the time and she loved the fat person she was she didn't care what people thought of her and i loved that about her, she was big not like big but BIG and now she looks anorexic and i can't look at her anymore she isn't the person i knew she changed completely, when she lost the weight she stopped caring about me and wanted what she couldn't have, got more friends, but it wasn't the person she was she started going drugs and now we don't talk, so are they happier i think to a certain extent but she don't look happy....
