I Have Fibromyalgia

So, last week my doctor told me I am eligible for a weight loss surgery. It's a band around my stomach in order to eat less and therefore reduce the weight. Well I know I am fat and that didn't come as a surprise. I have always been fat and still confident and happy with myself but since the fibromyalgia is diagnosed I ain't so happy anymore. Where at first my 118 kg didn't bother me and had me going out and partying, now it's weighing me down and tiring me out. I am really debating this. Not to be prettier cause I am scared to death I won't find myself attractive or even myself looking after losing a ton of weight in a short tine. I Love myself and my body looks but I hate this pain, I cannot handle it anymore and I need help if I am able to move at all!

So yeah that is where my mind is these days. But avoiding stress is key right?

It's great you have such a positive attitude about your body. I'm sorry you are experiencing pain.

Stress and pain can be immobilizing, so avoiding that should be most important. 🤗

@oneperson yeah that is true but I think self Love and acceptance to and what if I lose that, my depressions get more serious and eventually the pain won't be any less? I know I worry to much lol

you can't love yourself and accept yourself all the time. sometimes you do fucked up shit and you have to learn to live with it.

In terms of depression: you need to feel good about your achievements, not your looks. A pretty dress in 1983 is ugly today, looks the same. You can always just get used to looks.
