On the defensive

 A few days ago I posted about "if I hear one more time", I have come to realize in the last day that because of these people that advise me that I am now took thin and I need to stop... It has me justifying every bite I put in my mouth...I have come to realize and have decided that while I will no longer explain myself to these people..and i appreciate their concern they are around me and know what journey I'm on.. I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of failure .. Which is what they are hoping for...  But am  to use their negative comments to hold myself accountable for what I do I eat..... however the sinical part of me wants to run by the surgeons office and grab the biggest stack of Bypass literature and throw it at them so they have some info in hand.. After that if they have vaid questions or concerns we can talk....

Only you and your doctor/clinical team know what is a good weight for you.
I have a few people saying stuff like that to me too but I still need to get down 2 pounds to be a normal BMI. Though some say that it is rubbish to follow that standard at least it is a standard I can find and understand. I want to go down lower than that though so I can have some room for when I get my PMS days.

You do what you need to do.

Good for You!!!! 

Before WLS I heard so many "they gained all of their weight back" stories that I was determined not to be a failure.

Everyone has a different ideal in their head of what the perfect weight for a person should be.  And personally I think they should keep their opinions to themselves!  I just read on another board that someone said to a person that at X pounds they would not be healthy.  How the hell do they know that?!  Are they a Dr.?  There are a lot of very thin people that are perfectly healthy.  Heck there are even overweight people that are healthy.  

I know in my head I want to be back down to 125, I feel I looked my best at that weight.  

I was happy at 120 and 115 (for about 5 minutes) but I didn't have any muscle tone until I started working out and got up to 125.  Now most people would say that I was too thin at 125 but they don't have to live in my body!  I'm currently bouncing between 132-137 and it's driving me crazy that I can't seem to lose this damn 10 lbs.  Am I healthy?   I try to eat as cleanly as possible and would have to say that I do a pretty good job.  I NEVER eat at fast food restaurants and typically eat all my meals at home (home made) not pre-packaged stuff.

Anyway, in my long rambling diatribe what I want to say is be happy in your skin at whatever weight/size YOU want to be and ENJOY every bite you put in your mouth!  :))
