July 6 - 135 lbs - Some people's children

Jul 05, 2009

It's like people can be so hurtful (especially friends and family but I suppose if it came from strangers, it might hurt too).  My friends and family don't all know I've had weight loss surgery.  I tell them I am on a 'very strict program'.  These are some of the comments I get -
Holy, are you ever skinny.
You are too skinny!!!
Are you anorexic?
Are you sick?
It's time you stopped losing weight.
You need a facelift.
Oh, you'll gain it back. 

I just smile and take it in.  Sometimes I even lie about how much I've lost (I say I've lost 75 lbs over a year so it doesn't sound so drastic). 

I bought some V-8 juice.  I heard it helps with the potasium.  It actually tastes pretty good.  If I need protein I usually eat almonds or walnuts (I always have a baggie full in my purse).  I find that I need to try and add calories.  I could stand to gain about 5 or 10 lbs back. 

I still don't have an appetite but some OH friends tell me it might come back one of these days.  I'll deal with that when the time comes.  So as of today, I can't imagine gaining back my weight.  That would be scary.  I'd hate to have to buy new clothes again.  It can be very expensive. 

But bottom line - for the most part feeling good.  I would like to gain some strength by building some muscle.  Maybe it would help with all this loose skin.  I simply can't afford plastic surgery.
