I Hate it when.....

 It is amazing to me all the "ignorant" people I run into that tell me things like.......I will never resort to surgery, it is cheating to lose it that way, I can do it if I want to...........jeesh. I am successful at this, I met goal and am staying there but when I admit that, just like any other human, there are days that I struggle and can't seem to stick to my eating plan no matter what, they instantly bombard me with the  " well that is what you get for having that surgery and messing with your body" UUGH!! 

Why is it the people with the smallest minds have the biggest mouths?

It must be hard for the "Queen"  to know that she won't be Queen for long and YOU will be the one that is noticed, for your great job and the attention will no longer be on her.  Ignore her, leave the room.  You are the star!!

I didn't tell anyone I was having WLS, my husband and son know.  I don't regret not telling anyone. I don't feel that I am being critiqued everyday, someone watching, guessing, etc., every bite I eat.  Everyone thinks I had my gall bladder out. That's my story, I''m sticking to it!  My luck, I'll get gallstones and then will have to find a body part to give up. Oh well, I don't care.  I have the peace of everyday life.  I have lost, starting weight: 249, 16 months later, weighed this a.m., 109.  Would I do it again, yes, a million times over.  Would I tell it? No.  You can always tell later, but you can't take it back. Best of luck.

whoa wait a second not afraid of upsetting your brother?  How about just having a chat with brother dearest and telling him to politely tell his wife to refrain from her unsolicited comments and if that doesn"t work and he gets pissed off you should stand your ground and tell him wait a minute how about respect for your sister .  Sounds like a real "sweetie" she should have respect for the fact that you are her husband's sister also.  If not I would come right out and say to her ....If I were able to lose weight doing the moderate dieting don"t you think  would have passed on the surgery .  I am sorry I just dont understand why alot of people that had any kind of wls are so hesitant to make people respect bondaries.  And its not just us that had the wls its people in general. Am I simply don't understand why our choices have to be questioned nor justified.
