My name is Jennifer.  I am the Girl on the show that is set to be aired on Dec 1st.  Dr Phil surprised me with surgery to remove my skin.  Please believe me when I say, that i have experienced everything that you are now facing.  I wrote into Dr Phil in regards to the downside of Weight loss.  My marriage was a joke,  I hated to be unclothed, touched, hugged looked at you name it I had an issue.  Even though I reached close to goal I still covered up, I was disgusting without cloths.  I was  mortified by my body the more I lost the scarier it was for me.  My body continued to look horrible the more I lost.  I always wanted to be skinny, and now that I lost my weight,  my loss became my nightmare.  I looked nothing like I pictured I would look like at goal.  I thought I could wear a T shirt yes something as simple as a T shirt and feel good about me,  But my arms were hanging swinging all the time.  To some this would appear PETTY, but to me being obese clinicly obese my entire life and finally doing something that is good to the outside as to weight loss was nothing close to good.  I resembled a melting candle, I hated my decision to lose.  I was guilt ridden that if i just stayed fat than i wouldn't have left one problem to gain another.  Surgery is extrememly expensive and one thing I knew in this lifetime No matter what,  I couldn't possibly do.  So I reached out to Dr Phil before a pre weight loss show and basically told him if he was going to do another weight losss show DO A REAL ONE OR DON"T DO ONE AT ALL!!!!  No one ever talks about the down side of weight loss that it is not alwys happy, lifes great!!! PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFttttt!!!!!!!!!!!.  I was soooo sick of seeing people at goal on stage showing off and happy with a new wardrobe or car or Trip to show off their new body I wanted to throw up.  All that is mateialistic and rots and goes away But you still have to wake each day to your body, and anything  over a 120lb weight loss is not a pretty sight.  No One ever talked about THE EXCESS SKIN. what the Hll does one do about it ? when after all the struggle,  to finally do what the media blasts in our brain to do,  we accomplish but look worse than when we started???  I lost with the dream in my head that I would look great for the first time in my life.  Hilarious, it was a cruel joke I tried soo hard but in the end the joke was on me....  My life wasn't in danger to rsort to surgery but my mental life was.  So many people don't get that. I had  agross body at 300+lbs and a gross body at goal.  I wanted to gain my weight back because than at least I would be filled out my skin wouldn't hang ripple or slap together, and the public would understand why i was covered up at the beach, ( because I was fat) But I was coverd up thin and people didn't get it.  If I exposed the sight of my flesh, I would have left people with the same reaction as if I was fat.  EWWWWWWWWW gross look at that lady, she needs to cover up.... Thin and fat I hid in big cloths.  Losing weight is not all what the media says it is.  You exchange one battle for another.  I wanted answeres from Dr Phil for all of us, but he surprised me with the Dr's from Dr 90210!!!!!!!  I came to the conclusion that maybe even Dr Phil doesn't have anything concret to help us, its all a series,  a process, but he does state that we must be realists about the whole process good and bad.  My journey I had no Idea, I guess I was dilusional.. LOL... I had noone to educate me on the whole journey I did it all ALONE.  By myself no surgery no dieticians noone me myself and my dream to be better Healthier.  Because I KNOW not everyone can have surgery,  I know alone,,, I couldn't.  The media plugs in us to lose, finally we believe in ourselves enough to DO IT.  But we are faced once again with NOW WHAT???? 

I live by the MOTTO..... Don't live to regret the things you've done.... Live to regret the things you haven't done.... In other words Just do everything.  The worst thing may turn into your biggest blessing...

 

I wanted to reach out to Angelique on the show and tell her that She CAN be where I am Because i was once where she is.  Just believe........ In YOU.  Believe that in the next minute Your Dream comes true, because thats how fast life can change.  If it takes min by min hour to hour day by day  month by month Trust that in the next min everything can change.

 

I could lose the weight myself but I couldn't shed the skin myself.  Surgery is not the answer for everyone but it was the answer for me.  Now I make it my mission to help all who are just waiting to walk in my shoes and face thier weight loss journey with pride and the belief that not another day will  you accept.... that you are worth being happy whatever your happiness is to you.

 

Smile you are 60 seconds from a Dream come true....

Sincerely Jennifer....

Dear Jennifer ,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your story of hope with all of us , but most of all thank you for thinking that we are worth the trust of your personnal journey......

 

As i wrote earlier , the mental side effect of losing weight is tremendous... i am now 80 pounds smaller with 50 more to go , but i am struggling and sabotaging myself , i loose 10 pounds gain it back at least 3 times for each 10 pounds. ...... i am at the point of given up just looking at the skin hanging from my arms and belly..... it makes me sick after all the efforts i have put thru it..... i can see that my weight problem could be solve but not my mental ......

 

After 34 years of anguish and sadness  i just can't see the point anymore....i just need to be regarded as a person not an obese or ex -obese...... for me the 60 secondes last  years....

 

thank you Lyne

Jennifer,

     Thanks for sharing! You're like a celebrity now! LOL....but seriously...I am so happy for you and I too am on the weight loss journey...I have topped out at about 275...and am 5'3...my question is this....is the excess skin from having so much weight on the body, from loosing it too fast, or from not exercising....no judgement...just wondering if you know having been through it...I want to avoid excess skin if at all possible...I lost 100 lbs once about 6 years ago but didn't have that issue...I was exercising everyday though...and I was only 200...can't believe I just said "only 200"...geez...anyway, I would be interested in your take on this...or anyone else's for that matter..

Beautiful post from a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing.

 

Beauty definitely is on the inside, but the wrapping is what makes many people happy or sad, depending.

 

Healthy choices and exercise are the hard answers to weight loss questions. Most are heavy due to emotional issues....eating out of boredom and depression, etc (as was the case with me). I say was because I finally had enough and started a MEDICAL weight loss program. In 2 months I have lost 25 pounds, I eat healthy foods (veggies, whole grains, protein, etc) and my energy level has skyrocketed.


I had to hit rock bottom (medically) and decide that I wanted to LIVE FOR MY CHILDREN before I wrapped my arms around the desire to lose the weight. If I can do it, anybody can!

 

And my first gift to myself after losing ALL the weight needed is to get my bellybutton pierced w/ a diamond stud (yes, at 44 it's what I want)! That's my goal and I'm gonna make it!

Jennifer, first off congratulations on your weight loss and beautiful body.  I sat here today watching the Dr. Phil show and was so proud of you.  I too am overweight and I too have decided to do something about it.  It's hard but I know I can do it.  I started by cutting out sodas and fast food.  OMG talk about torture...but you know, after a month I didn't miss it anymore.  I drink  a ton of water and crystal light and I drink three glasses of fat free milk a day.  I just wanted to leave you a short note to tell you that you inspired me and one day I'll be taking my bow, just like you did today.  Keep up the great work and again congrats..

dear jennifer

I guess i missed that show. your situation is so similiar to me.  I start out being 307 lbs last July and was diagnoised with type 2 diabetes and it scared me so bad knowing at age 36 and mother of 4 and a wife i need to take care of myself and put myself first because i need to be health to continue being the mom and wife i needed to be.  I start eating healthy and excersize regularly.  evenif it meant just 10min walk and i have worked up to 45 min cardio and 30 weight training 4 to 5 days a week.  I have lost 122 lbs as of today.  I thought losing weight would change my life and it has but like you describe it like melting candle and its hard for me to stand in front of a mirror and wear certain clothing.  I know if I could afford to have surgery i would do it in a heart beat but financial it is impossible.  Every day i thank God for letting me be strong threw all this and having such a supporting family.  I could not have done this with out my husband support.  But I look at myself in the mirror i am so embarrassed the way that i look. but i know i am healthy and i will see my children grow up.  I would not change a thing that i have done in the last 11 months i have so much more energy and i look forward to new challenges and waking up everyday.  I just wanted to tell you that when i read your story i cried it is so similar to me.  I am glad that i am not alone.  very excited that dr. phil was there for you and helped you. may some day someone would come along with a miracle to help me and make me look in the mirror and say i finally look the way i deserve to with all the hard work i have done.

 

                                                                                                            sincerely  ithought i was alone
