I am to the breaking point

maybe that is just what I need. thanks

Hi Deborah! Good grief you're living through H*LL right now. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all that on top of WLS. Like that isn't enough to have to deal with. Our emotions and hormones are all out of whack anyway! Keep your chin up.. It will all work out somehow..it always does. Come here and vent all you want. If you need to talk to someone email me anytime. Vegas is looking better and better everyday! I can't wait for Jan. Hugs Anna D

Sorry to hear about the things happening to you right now. I sure hope things get better for you soon. Debbie

Deborah, Some days it seems that the encouragement is nowhere to be found. I think it eventually returns... sometimes from an unexpected source. Last Friday night, a guy at my support group meeting said that although all of our friends and family wanted us to be healthy, they also wanted us to stay fat. Maybe for a number of reasons - they fear change, they (subconsiosly) want to feel superior, or, they may just be flat-out jealous. Don't let it get you down... It's time for everyone else to get used to the new you. Be Well, A.J.

A.J. You are so right!! I never thought about it until you posted it. "that although all of our friends and family wanted us to be healthy, they also wanted us to stay fat. Maybe for a number of reasons - they fear change, they (subconsiosly) want to feel superior, or, they may just be flat-out jealous. Don't let it get you down... It's time for everyone else to get used to the new you. " That explains so many things I've been feeling about my own friends and my daughters reaction to my telling her what size pants I'm wearing..when she was the one who asked! She wanted me to be healthy..but she didn't want me to be smaller than she is I'm sure since I never had been. It maybe a "comfort" thing for them. Thank you for posting that.. it shed instant light for me on some others feelings. Anna D.

Thanks A.J. I know that is so true. But it still hurts. Emotions just seem to be a right now. Thanks....

Hey Deborah, You dealing with alot right now so I can certainly see why you are feeling like "running away." It sounds like your sister is jealous of your weight loss and success, but you know what, that is "her" problem not yours. I am sorry your husband is feeling a certain way about things right now but hopefully with some communication that will work itself out. Surround yourself with people who are going to support you right now and do something nice for yourself! Sometimes the people we love the most don't react the way we want them to and it does hurt. Hang in there and know we are all here for you on this end to support you through this. Big Hugs, Karen S.

Thanks Karen....

It will get better. Isn't it great to have a bunch of people going through the same thing as close as your keyboard? WOW.

yes I am glad for this board every day.. thanks
