WAgal Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Amber, I just watched your slide show. Fantastic job... You look awesome! Keep it up the great job and inspiring me/us!!! LOL about the ex priceless moment! Haven't got one yet.. just annoying relatives that keep checking me out and saying "how come you're not loosing that much weight yet?" They don't understand the process, "It's a slow process" I would reply. That's why I regret letting relatives know that live nearby... so I have ANNOYING moments at this time ... Ha ha ha ha ha.... I will post hopefully in a year with a priceless moment!!! Be patient with me! Hanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberLam Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I'm very sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Here's the details... It was very brief, maybe 5 minutes????? I was heading into Wal-Mart and he was coming out. I saw him and smiled (I've been waiting two and a half years for this), he saw me and had to do a double take. His face said it all. He was shocked. I asked how he was doing and he said fine then asked how I was. I very enthusiastically said that I was great. I then dominated the conversation by telling him Thank you (he was again shocked) I explained that what he did to/for me was the best experience that I could have gone through. I am a different, happily married woman now... I also said that he was right to call off the wedding bc in reflection we couldn't have ever worked out, too many family differences. He didn't have much to say, but added that I 'looked' like I was doing very well... I agreed! Told him to take care then went on about my business!! I felt amazing. I finally got my closure... got to say my peace. All while looking/feeling AMAZING in my new body!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will T Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 YOU GO GIRL !! Remember the happy moments in the past, and look forward to all the fantastic moments still ahead of you!! It is HIS loss, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlgpdx Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 thanks for posting that! I can't wait to have that moment. I was dating a guy, before my current guy, and we were just great together! We had so much fun, conversation etc...... then one night after a couple drinks he told me that I was just "to fat" for him! He told me he looooves thick chicks but that I was past the acceptable thickeness/fatness. WOW.. my little heart was broken. We were never the same after that even though he apologised profusely. I know he said what he truly believe but man did it hurt. We are still good friends and he is currently with a "acceptable fat" woman who makes his life miserable. I hope by xmas time to let's say... Ramdomly come across in when he's a work and just happen to look fabulous ! LOL have a great weekend everyone. Thanks again for making my Day.

I will be expecting a post/pm from you detailing how it went!!! My ex sounds similar.. I think he was a feeder. Add that to my laziness... and before you know it your 318 pounds!! I know he never force fed me, I take full responsibility for that.. but he always wanted to go out for food. He was SOOOOOO picky, it was just easier than trying to make something he would like. I realize now that he did this so that I would gain weight... thus I'm unattractive to (most) men, therefore I wouldn't leave him. He had such low self esteem. (as did I, obviously cause I stayed with him for so long... and was going to marry him! ugh) His brother and father ultimately convinced him to call it off. I could kiss them now!!!! hahaha We have a mutual friend and I hear that new girlfriend is an ex Seagal (Seattle Seahawks cheerleader). I'm sure that bro and pappy just LOVE her... she too makes his life miserable.. Sounds like she's is a violent little lassy! I bought my Christmas party dress today. It's too small right now of course.... But I'm gonna ROCK IT in December!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
