Thanks for the support

Thanks to all you wonderful people for making me feel much better.

I had WLS to feel better and I certainly feel great.

My sister pushed all my buttons as only a sister can push. From now on, my buttons are under lock and key around her.

We can't choose our relatives but thank God we can choose our Sistahs. I love you all.

We are all sisters of other mothers, Annette. I don't have a sister from my mother; she doesn't get along with anyone from my family. But I have you, my sister-in-law, whom I love dearly ... we wish we would be sisters, I love her for picking my brother, she's so sweet and so good to my mom ... I have Brenda Russell, Carla, Janet and all the rest too many to name. I couldn't have gotten through the past two years without y'all.

Eileen - we appreciate having you too!!

Kisses

Annette,
I have four wonderful sisters.  So there is no excuse for what your sister has put you through.  Let her know that you have lots of friends that treat you better than she does and that you don't need that nonsense in your life.  Remind her that if she can't say something nice then don't say anything at all.
Happy to be your Sistah.
Bev

Bev,

After our Mom died I tried everything to mend the hurt. Now I avoid her which makes life easier. Even joint counselling with a mediator didn't help.

One of my sisters is quite adept at that too, lol.  We love you

Annette...honey...you know about my sister...

 My sister can just lump it...you and everyone here..we are sistahs !!!!  God bless us all..
 Be strong honey...we love you.
 Like others have said we can't choose our family...but, we choose to live with them or without them and we can choose to ignore them.

 I think you are beautiful inside and out..you have a beautiful soul.  Thats what you need to remember...who cares if you are a klutz...    We still love you. 

  You have been a great friend..and will continue to do so..so chin up my friend...big smile and I'll see you on Monday Tuesday and Wed.  can I go to the pool with you Monday afternoon?  are you going???  please please please please please please please please ????????????

Sure Marcy - we can drown those jelly fish together and then off to group.

Thanks Sybul. The feeling is mutual.

I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks Annette, but I went back to your message to see what had happened. OMG!  I can't believe how rude she was to you!  The 3/4 sleeve remark took the cake.  HELLOOOOOO, did you see those arms before all the weight loss?!   Some loose skin is a small price to pay for a healthier us. 

Don't let it get you down.  You look beautiful and I don't think you are too thin at all.  You look fan-tas-tic!

Keep those buttons locked for her, but an open door to us.  We're all here for you.   Too bad we don't all live within close proximity.  We could have a sleep over and have a jolly time *****ing about inconsiderate people!
