Taking Control!
May 16, 2012
Today I finished my nutrition classes. My doctor has this program that you need to take that has 6 modules related to nutrition. It talks about everything from diet to exercise to support to protein to vitamins. One class we had to actually measure of things and weight things. We had to write out a meal and calculate the protein, sugar calories, etc. I found all the modules very helpful and learned great resources.Last week as I was sitting in my class waiting for it to start, a co-worker was came in, I was a little shocked. After hugging she said she was wondering if she would see me at any of these classes. I thought that was odd cause I hadn’t said anything but to one friend at work, that I was talking about WLS, come to find out she told her. Now at first I was hurt and upset thinking how could she tell someone else my business but then after some time and thinking, I decided that I should not fill ashamed to have this surgery. I have worked really hard and I need that final piece to my puzzle for the long term success. It’s really sad how I think some people view WLS. This decision is in NO way easy, the process is NOT easy and the journey itself is NOT easy….. This is NOT an easy fix. Yes people lose weight every day, yes it can be done, however the long term success is very minimal and some it just doesn’t work. I am NOT ashamed, I am proud I am taking control of my body and not letting my body control me anymore!
