As someone who will … As someone …

Comment posted All of Me: A Story of Love, Loss and Last Resorts by beanj31602.

As someone who will …
As someone who will be 62 in August, the line that hit me the hardest is, “When I’m 62, I want to be lying on the beach, not in a hospital bed.” Me, too. That’s why I had lapband surgery 2 years ago. It may not be pretty, but I’ll be on the beach at 62, a lot slimmer than I was 2 years ago.

    Great story. Thanks for sharing. 2008 was a great year for me because I had WLS and I finally got myself back.

    Wow. That is really moving. You picked an excellent, articulate endearing group of women to profile. I can’t wait to see the whole thing.

    Would love to see the entire documentary; some of the scenes were too dark to be seen very well. But love the stories and the idea. Thanks for telling ‘our’ story.

    Wow… what can I …
    Wow… what can I say. That was powerful and only a small part of the documentary. The openness and honesty is powerful. Thank you for sharing your stories… and yet sharing mine in a way. Can’t wait to see the whole thing.

    As a former bulimarexic who went through recovery, I can relate to the issues and changes they are faced with. I think it’s great to do a film about this — especially to show the support of the Girls sticking together and helping each other. The operation concerns me — I hope they have psychotherapeutic support as well. There is no quick-fix to eating disorders. Congratulations on bringing it out into the public eye!

    I have been “skinny” all my life. Never had a weight “problem” or even a concern about my weight. Regardless, I can totally relate to the situations presented here. Watching made me aware of my own crazy ideas about weight. But really, it’s not about skinny me! For a change! It’s about fat people trying to make it in this world, just like all the rest of us. It’s a struggle worth knowing about.
