Vs, I'm the first one to admit that I had a weight problem, so on June 15, 2009, I had lap band surgery. I only lost 30 pounds off the bat, and I've been struggling to lose weight ever since. And no matter how much I hear people tell me that I look great, I look so much healthier, etc etc etc, I still see "the fat girl" that I was before surgery. And every single one of my friends that's had weight loss surgery will still say the same thing.

The only way I seem to feel "good" about myself and my progress is that I put up picture of me before surgery, and after, and I can see a difference. I actually LOOK cuter (I have a dimple in my left cheek that I'm pretty fond of, and it's getting more prominent), and I can tell that I felt good about myself when those pictures post-op were taken. So, I keep questioning myself, "I felt good then, why I can't I feel that good now??"

Honestly, I also go to PeopleOfWalmart.com and then I feel INCREDIBLE!!!

Losing 11 pounds in 6 days is GREAT!!! I wish I could do that!!!
