Beware Vent:Seeing family for first time since VSG..
I'm a night owl so I just read ur post from earlier today. I hope it went smoothly......With friends like that (or FAMLY), who needs enemies?! Don't listen to the haters and ingnorant morons.....As for any snide questions or remarks, I just smile and say, "that's what ignorant people think....(SMILE)........
Good Luck, ur the BAWM!
Good Luck, ur the BAWM!
Jen..."haters" never gain anything....except...in your mom and sister's case,,,,they will/have gained weight! ha ha ha! success is the best revenge...living life to the fullest....healthy ....happy.....and not in regret....is the best gift EVER!! never forget that. Haters are gonna hate...it's how they relate....sad really. you cannot control what others say or feel...just how you react to them....or don't react!
Have a good time girl! embrace the people who support you....as for the rest...take them to that burrito place and watch them stuff themselves.....while you nibble on a few bites split some nachos with Max...and have him out eat you! ha ha ha! And remind them as they eat tons......a moment of nachos and burritos on the lips....forever on the hips! But NOT for you!

Wow. Looks like a lot of us can identify with your situation. What does that say about us all having issues with our weight? Food for thought (no pun intended).
I would like to add the following - a post I saw on Facebook, and one I've saved because it's so meaningful to me. I hope it is for you, too.
"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life; getting back up is living."
If the negative people come around you, just imagine you have a protective shield around you that they can't penetrate. Everything negative or offensive they say or do to you just bounces right off that shield. And you don't have to lower yourself to any of their standards. Although it's super difficult to take it when it's the people in your family - the one's who are supposed to love you the most - who are doling out the hurt, you have to remember that they have issues of their own that probably contribute to their negativity, but you must rise above it all. It's THEIR problem, not yours. You can do this!
