I didn’t know it was possible to be this full without meat or bread for dinner.
Go you! It takes a lot of strength to be a veggie. I really respect you. :)

magelzgetfit asked: I'm so glad to see you don't let shitheads like that get you down! I'm not going to lie - I've been a judgy in the past of people that don't seem to be taking care of their bodies. Being judgmental is a personality flaw of mine that I've been working hard to stop, and I no longer jump to those conclusions anymore. BUT if I ever jump to judge again, I'm going to...

In today’s video, I talk about what excess skin is like, and I show the excess skin on my body 3 years after gastric bypass RNY surgery. Excess skin like this usually only happens after rapid massive weight loss, so don’t panic that you’ll get this after dropping 20lbs.
This video is not meant to debate the merits of gastric bypass. It’s not meant to be a plea for cash or...

rambosie asked: Your message about anon hate really hit home with me and I realized, I haven't really said too much about the situation I was in a few months back. This is about to be a long one, so it may be split up, haha. I had a different tumblr for most of last year, one that wasn't dedicated to fitness, one where I posted tons of different thoughts and pictures, and often, they were pictures of...

fastforwardtohappiness asked: when I saw the suicide message, I was going to send you a message telling you not to let such a silly thing drive you to that extreme... but I hesitated since I thought you were just being sarcastic and probably didn't mean it. KEY WORD: "probably". Your post made me realize that there may be someone that is seriously contemplating their suicide and I could be the one that stops...

theweightwarrior asked: My doctor told me that after i lose the weight and i have excess skin you could have insurance cover it you get a rash or something like that. Like if your skin is affecting your health. If you get proof from a Dermatologist then your insurance might approve you for the surgery. I don’t know if this would help but i was just wondering if your doctor told you this? Also if this is true?

cherubnotchub asked: Thank you so much for your message about anon hate. I was literally bawling as I read it. I lost a very close friend because of "cyber-bullying" and it hurts me so much when I see it here. So thank you again for "taking a stand" (sorry I'm terrible at wording what I mean). <3

We need to talk about something here.
Earlier today someone insisted on me that I didn’t need the money I estimated, keyword “estimated”, for surgery because I could get it cheaper in Canada. Even after explaining that I’m not comfortable with out-of-country surgeries and that it wouldn’t actually save money, this person insisted on their 30-second-Google-search...
Thank you for the 9 messages of anon hate for...

Anonymous asked: No need to be a bitch. I didn't think you were getting all the things done. Why would you need a face lift? I wasn't acting highly. If anything you're the one with the attitude.
Anonymous asked: actually, these are the cost of skin removal surgeries in canada. Arm lift (brachioplasty): $5000 – 6500 Abdominoplasty: $6000 - 8000 Face lift: $7000 - 9000 Mastopexy: $5000 - 6000 Breast augmentation: $5000 - 6500 quite cheaper then $30,000 i'd say. even if you did have to pay a couple grand for room.

Anonymous asked: This might sound stupid, but would it be possible to get the surgery done say in Canada, where the cost is significantly lower? I'm not sure if that's a possibility for a American citizen, but just throwing it out there.
Anonymous asked: I read your faq, but you don't say how fast you lost it all. I don't understand how you have that much loose skin, I wish that I could donate! When I get a job I will definitely be doing so.

greenstreethooligann asked: You, my dear, are gorgeous. And your gorgeous-ness is not dependent on your weight, your clothes, your hairstyle, or anything else. You are gorgeous because you have an amazing soul. That's what makes you beautiful. That fact that your facial features are to die for are just icing on a lovely cake ;)
ATTENTION! Lovely larger ladies looking for prom...
girlgrowingsmall:
See that dress in the middle? That’s mine. This is a pic of me at my high school prom 5 years ago.
That dress was worn all of once, and it is in fantastic shape. I’d like to sell it so I can put the money toward living expenses and my surgery fund. It’s roughly a size 24, but I did have the top taken in slightly. It is an absolutely gorgeous gown that cost me over $500. (I...

Anonymous asked: Disclaimer: This is NOT meant to be rude! I've just noticed that in your pictures where you weigh a lot more, your hair looks really thin and unhealthy. My question is, as you got closer to your current weight, did you notice your hair changing? In your current pictures it looks so shiny and gorgeous, that's why I ask! My hair isn't very healthy now and I weigh 260, so I'm...
