I’m going through your blog for a second time (I think it was 6-12 months ago that I read through it before), because I’m seriously considering WLS once again. Anyway, I’d have to say that my reasons for wanting WLS are exactly what yours are here, in this same order. All my female relatives (and most of my male ones) that I see more than once every few years are all fit and thin and being around them makes me feel terrible. I want to be able to enjoy my time with them, and even do many of the very active things they enjoy with them.

My husband loves me how I am, but I feel so down on myself that I often feel unworthy of him, you know?

Anyway, thanks for this blog! It’s extremely interesting and helpful.
