Oh right sure you are.....

Oct 28, 2010

So at work the other day, this woman (who I don't really care much for) comes up to me and says how come you've told other people and not me that you are having WLS?  I said I've only told a few people and that she would figure it out eventually.

She is also morbidly obese.  In fact I think she's my exact body double only shorter.  So she was asking me questions about it and I answered honestly then she says to me "my dr. won't refer me because I don't have enough weight to lose"  I'm thinking yeah right - But I tell her it goes more by BMI than actual weight - if you have a BMI of 40 you don't need additional medical complications, if you have medical complications, it can be 35.

She kind of got a little quiet there.

I'm not sure why I am so pissed about this conversation - I think it's that this person likes to come off as better than everyone else - and "not needing to lose as much weight" is her way of saying she's better than me.

Everyone else at work who knows has been very supportive.  I guess since this person bugs me in general - everything is going to bug me.

BTW - today is day 7 - I've been doing well - but - I have not been able to get in the full amount of optifast.

I've been averaging only three pkg instead of 4 - yesterday I only had two.  I've been drinking lots, but I'm worried this will be  aproblem.

Cheers
