Feeling Fly and Loving Life

This is for the thick chicks
The 250 plus chicks
For the girls who have embraced their stomach...like f**k..just love it
The girls who know no matter how hard they've tried...trim spa or metabolife ain't gonna change them thighs.

The above are words to a poem that I have enjoyed and taken pride in. The poem was not written by me.  It was written by a young lady named Tamara Blue. 

As I have mentioned before I love me some me.  That has never changed no matter my size.  I love everything about me.  From the dimple in my left cheek to the teachers arms. 

As we all travel this journey of weight loss (and sometime gain) I want to say LOVE YOU!!! Don't let anyone but you determine where you will go with your band.  Don't let anyone discourage you with their ignorance or negativity!!  This is your journey.  We all have different and some similar reasons for taking this path.

Take time to look at yourself in the mirror daily...naked or clothed, it doesn't really matter.  Get to know yourself again...even the things you would like to change...embrace them and love them and then move on.

The next time some ignorant person says something like you should be losing more weight...or I like the fat you better.  Look at them and say...well I like all of me just fine and you can kiss my once fat now skinny ass.  Then erase that person from you life. 


See this is for the thickness and this is for those jeans, those size fourteens, sixteens, eighteens and twenties and for the girl who put on those size fourteen, sixteens, eighteens and twenties and stepped out feeling fly.  See this is for feeling fly and loving life.  This is for feeling fly and loving life but still allowing yourself to have some french fries, cause this is for the thick chicks.

Hi Dawnya,

Love the sentiment. I truly struggle with loving myself at the weight I currently am. I think your attitude is much healthier.

You asked on my blog about PB'ing and sliming. I am hardly the expert to answer these questions since I have only just started experiencing them myself but I will do my best. PB means (I think this is right) Progressive Burp. When you have eaten too quickly or not chewed enough and food gets stuck in your stoma, you start to have these little burps (to me it feels like my body trying to get the food to move around and go down. Sometimes it leads to throwing up what you have eaten. I have not had that happen to me yet - thank God. Slime is what your body produces also when you are stuck. Again, I think it is happening because your body id trying to get the food to move through that little passage to your stomach. When you have a build up of saliva (slime) and it can't go anywhere (because you are stuck) you have to spit it out.

These might not be the best descriptions. You can always google it. There are lots of fellow bandsters who have written pretty extensively on their experience with both.

Good luck on your journey. I love reading your blog!
