Why SexyKat and Why the Avatar
Mar 10, 2012
I picked Kat to go with SexyKat. Quite a number of years ago I joined Weight Watchers (they use a point system), and decided to go to "Dottie's Weight Loss Zone" which is a web site that has points for almost every major restaurant, and fast food joint. I noticed they had a chat room, so I said to myself, "Great, I'll go hang with people who have the same issues as myself, and maybe make some friends". You know, like OH, but more real time chat. When it came to picking a name I thought to myself, “Pick something to reinforce a positive frame of mind for success”. Since I was feeling anything but sexy, I picked Sexy for starters. I love animals, but my lifestyle only allows me to have a cat, and since I love them I added Cat to make it SexyCat. Someone else picked that spelling, so back to the drawing board I went a few times and wound up having to make it SexyKatt (a K and 2T's). On OH I was able to drop a T. After all that I finally got to the chat room, and a roomy tells me my name was offensive, and that I had to change it, or get kicked out. I couldn't believe it, and at the time didn't realize she was the monitor, so guess who got kicked out? Uh huh, yup, me-ow. I went back, and made a new name then which was, UnsexyKatt to appease her, and yes, to be a smartass, but she didn't like it either, so out I flew again. I finally picked a name she was pleased with, and went a few times, met a great gal from TX who is still a wonderful friend to me to this day, so it was worth it. As far as WW went, well, I’m here, so enough said. Fast forward to OH, and needing to pick a name, I decided to resurrect good old SexyKat out of defiance. Since the name was originally chosen to be a positive image , I'm hoping to bring SexyKat with me to the finish line of success which I really define as healthy, without concern as to how others perceive a 5' 3" 350 lb woman, able to move and enjoy life without the physical limitations of being Super Morbidly Obese and…to be able to walk in a room with my snooty, judgmental sisters (exception of one) wearing a cute little outfit, accessorized with the most darling non sensible shoes, then sitting down, crossing my legs, and looking S-E-X-Y, while they lumber around in envy of me. LOL! I picked my avatar “ Felix the Cat”, because it shows the name SexyKat is a little tongue in cheek too. There is also a 2nd reason I picked Felix for OH, and that is because of his theme song. It starts out with, “Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat, whenever he gets in a fix he reaches into his bag of tricks”. Anyway, I was really in a fix when I found out I had IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) otherwise known as Pseudo Tumor Cerebri which is a rare brain condition that strikes 1 in 100,000 people. Mainly women, of child bearing age, taking birth control pills, who are obese. Although my demographic was wrong except for being a woman and the obesity, I had it anyway. I needed to lose weight fast to hopefully get it in remission, or very likely go blind. Since Felix’s bag of tricks are magic because whatever situation he gets in he can reach inside, and pull out exactly what he needs to make things right, I knew he was my perfect avatar because this is what WLS means to me.
