Cathy, that was to funny.....I do have a question for you...what made them put a filter in for possible blood clots? Thanks, Cheri

Hey Pat, I'm new to the massage boared looking over some of the different thing's posted, however your's really got my attention. That was really funny!!!

Lol.. that is a great story. Sad too that she thinks that way but great.

My mother-in-law has a weird idea of healthy weight, overweight, etc....anyway, she has been having some issues with my weightloss...but I say, too bad so sad...the family has always said that her 'skinny" body is her claim to fame.... But as background....she does not know that I had WLS. She never says anything directly to me about my weight, rather she says things to all the relatives...Rebecca has lost so much weight, I don't know what Rebecca is doing, but I hope she keeps it up...Rebecca is so beautiful now that she has lost weight, Rebecca is SO much nicer now that she has lost weight...blah, blah, blah...you get the idea.... By-the-way, I really do love her...except for her weirdness about weight issues, she really is a nice person.... Anyway, on Saturday I took her shopping...we were Christmas shopping and shopping for ourselves... In Anne Taylor she saw a pair of trousers that she liked. I pointed out that THOSE trousers would not fit her because they were not petite...she is barely 5'2...so as we walked to the back of the store, I picked up several sized 6 trousers for me (not petite)...as we arrived in the petite area, I found the trousers she liked...as I handed them to her, she noticed the size 6's over my arm...she quickly pointed out that she wouldn't try those on because she wears an 8....It gave me great pleasure to say, with a straight face, those are mine...she looked at me, got quiet for a few seconds then said.... oh those are fat size 6, I wear petites.... Usually I have the power to ignore her little comments...this time, I smiled and slowly explained that petites is just that...for women who are shorter, shorter waisted, shorter arms, etc...I am not sure she believed me. When I told my husband this story, he got angry....he keeps telling me that I need to stop losing weight...anyway, I finally got him to see the humor...his mother is 85 yrs old...why get upset with her...she isn't going to change... Part of me wanted to bend over at the waist, hold my "tiny" tummy and laugh hysterically...I doubt if she would have gotten the joke. But just so you hear it from ME first, I wear a FAT size 6!!!! LOL Best to everyone, RAE
