Don't Bring Negative To Me!

People are so strange.  Do they really think that they can say anything to us that we don't already say to ourselves?  I know when someone says, "wow, you've lost a lot of weight." I'm the one to say, "yeah, but I still have a long way to go!"  I don't need someone else to say that for me thinking they're telling me something I don't know!  

My sentiments exactly but she has some issues that she needs to deal with. 

She totally does.  I mean, who says that to a person? :/ 

Right but I am going to keep my head up and keep being the positive person God has made me into :-)

Thats right MsShawna!!!! No one can stop you. I will tell you like you told me..."Its your time to shine!" You're right, sometimes not even your own family want to get on board. I told a close friend and co-worker and she rambled on and on about how 'sickly' people who get WLS look. she also would bring me a bunch of foods i was not supposed to eat and try to get me to eat them.

I think us going through WLS, have it right. We don't really feel the need to broadcast it. Broadcasting a courageous or landmark decision in your life does not always get the positive reaction you hope for. Doubting thomas, haters, snakes in the grass, know-it-alls seem to flourish...

I am thankful for your journey. Your sister loves you, i know this without knowing her. Some people use negativity as a defense mechanism. She may be worried about the long term and instead of educating herself about the journey you are on, she let fear win and turn her down the wrong path.

Aww thank you so much FemFatale !
