Horrible me :(

I havent been on here in forever and I dont know why? I am really discouraged and feeling like I eat toooo much but I know that I dont! OMG stop the insanity lol. It's alot harder on your mind than your body once you get farther out. I just wish others (meaning all the non-op people) would see that and keep their misinformed comments to themselves! Sorry I guess I should kind of elaborate. I was out for coffee with a couple friends and I saw a lady that I hadn't seen in awhile and she says "wow Crystal you look really good!" I said "Thanks" then she says "how much have you lost so far?" and I said "112" So she says "well look at me I just bought a size 7 woohoo" I said "Good for you thats great" (for the record she wasnt overly heavy to begin with maybe 175!) anyway One of the girls I was sitting with asks her how she lost her weight and then she says "Well I am doing it the HARD way, with weigh****chers points not like Crystal who just got a staple here and there!" OMG I just want to smack people when I hear that!!!! Sorry I had to vent and others just dont understand unless they've been there themselves thats why I came on here.....I am one of those 99% lurkers lol. Thanks for reading and letting me vent even if it doesnt make sense. Crystal

Welcome back Crystal! I completely know what you're talking about it totally sucks. I just grin and bare it Stop lurking and come out to play!! Jaci

What a crappy thing for her to say. It takes all kinds, doesn't it? Don't be ashamed of being a lurker I'm one also. Maybe we should think about coming out of hiding. What do you think? Christina

Super Chick, Not ot be rude but remember: ******** and opinions, everybody's got one! I think of this and its easier for me to let the comments go! Teresa

Teresa I'm going to have to remember that one But you're right, there's nothing worse than a "klnow nothing with a big mouth". Crystal, just consider the source and move on.

Hey Crystal... I am sorry to hear about your experience. Some people just really suck. Maybe deep down that woman knows that her chances of keeping her weight off are slim-to-none while yours odds are much greater! Obviously there is a certain amount of jealousy on her end to have said something so ugly-hearted. But don't waste anymore time thinking about her. She is not worth it. Instead, focus on how WONDERFUL you are doing! 112 lbs is amazing! Why are you discouraged? You know, this board is the BEST place to be when you are feeling discouraged...there is a wonderful group of people here who will always listen and give encouragement/support/advice! So hang around more often...we would love to have you here!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Chickie, and always remember that YOU know this is not the easy way out...and that's all that matters! Love and hugs, Jersey

That's why I have treated my surgery on a need to know basis. Granted a lot of people think that there is something terribly wrong with my health, but that is only because they won't accept my statement that it is through a lot of hard work. Which we all know is the truth. But don't worry, like Tereasa said. Hazel

Hi Crystal, Glad that you posted, you need to pop in more often. I would have smacked her. You do not do this the easy way, I know you know that. Carly
