Food Police

This is one reason that none of my friends know about my surgery, as i don't want the scrutiny. You know what you should be eating, and you'd be a fool to go through a major operation and then eat the wrong stuff so if they are sticking their noses into your business politely tell them where to redirect their noses ;-)

Damn why did I never think of that cream cheese/sugar thing before surgery! lol

Lol

LMBO...  

Can I just tell you that was my FIRST thought when reading this post??!!  LOL

It was amazing tasting. Like cheese cake without the crust!! LOL

It keeps you accountable.  Do you want to fail and be fat again.  I don't.  I either don't eat at all in front or people, therefore no scrutiny or I eat properly because I know people expect that I will screw up.  Which is a great motivator to me, to prove the world wrong. And if I do screw up and try to eat things I shouldn't my bf says oh the fat girl is digging in the Halloween candy again.  Yeah that straightens me up and makes me fly right.  He is joking of course, but the message it received loud and clear to my brain.

Fuck that.  I'm accountable to myself and I'm an adult I wouldn't put up with anyone telling me I'm the fat girl I don't care WTF they are.

Maybe someone telling you that works but it's ridiculous.  I know I took enough of that **** when I was young and yeah I know family meant well but repeatedly telling me (and I feel many of us) we were beautiful (had a beautiful face) or whatever their term of endearment was "if" we could only lose weight sucked.  NO ONE should have to be told that, NO ONE.

No matter how good intentioned people may be (and most food police don't have completely pure motives), being badgered by people about what you are eating almost never results in someone making healthier choices and losing weight.   I would expect that nearly all people who had WLS have had -- somewhere along the line -- people who attempted to point out when they were about to eat something really unhealthy... Yet that didn't change anything (and usually does the opposite of what was hoped for); We still become MO or SMO and needed surgery.
