What the Heck!!!!

I think he was out of line to introduce you in that way. What like you weren't worth meeting when you were fat? Did you do your job poorly before. Don't you want to say, yeah and I looked good before, just bigger! I too chose to only tell the people I worked very closely with and made it clear it was a personal thing and I didn't want it talked about. But low and behold, a couple of days ago when I was walking down the hall I hear "Leeanne, Leeanne" so I stop and it's an employee that I rarely see and she doesn't work in the same dept. She was telling my how good I look and was I glad I "did it"? I knew right away what she meant but I'm thinking WTF? It ended up being a nice conversation and she had some questions to ask for herself. But still, I am thinking ok, who told her? That just makes me MAD!! I am glad you could laugh about your situation. I think I would have chewed him out!! Leeanne

He sounds like a nice guy---not an a**hole---you know good natured----really it was a compliment, no?!? No bad intentions. However, I haven't shared my surgery news with many people just because I don't want to be asked about it all the time or put up with uninformed comments. I'd rather just keep it to myself. When people ask me what I'm doing I say, "protein and exercise" (and it's not even a lie!) So.....! Cathy

I use the same story too, more exercise, less food, more protein and water, I even told one chick that it was a dr. supervised diet with behavior modification. I feel the same way about uniformed people knowing about it. I know that some people feel like we are the ones that should educate people about this surgery but I don't really agree. I prefer not having everyone know about it. Even now the ones that do know ask me almost everyday - so how much have you lost since I saw you last??? I don't know, I don't really log how much I weigh everytime I see you. My favorite comment is "are you supposed to be eating that?" or if it's lunch time and I say I'm going to go out they say "but you don't eat anymore" Ahhhhhhh the fun life... Dana
