I *refuse* to lose weight!

I'm sorry but someone just asked me again "how much weight do you plan to lose?" This was the proverbial straw that broke this camel's back. I'm sorry but when I "lose" something, I try real hard to get it back. I lost my wallet and was frantic for threee days. I lost my cell phone and called it until somoeone answered and then went and got it back. I'm very good at finding stuff I've lost. And that's the problem. Up to now I've always tried to lose weight. Then I found it again. Usually it was hanging around with friends and I found them too. So I'm not having the surgery to lose weight. I will "shed pounds", "grow thin", "burn off fat", "drop weight" or any number of *permanent* solutions but I refuse to "lose weight"! So after surgery when someone asks "how much weight have you lost?" my response will be "None. I know exactly where it went. But I've discarded about 100 lbs so far." And when someone asks "what was the most weight you've ever lost at one time?" I will respond that "I once lost 135 lbs. The process consumed my life for 6 months and was very expensive. Then, two years later, I remarried her." -- T.Rob

You go guy!!

Good for you! But get used to the question I still get asked, twice just this past Wednesday.

I know you are ranting but I have to tell you that it made me laugh because your right! Good for you and thanks for sharing! I'm going to remember that! Rebecca

I refuse as well

I totally agree with you. I told everyone when I was on my "diet", that I wasn't because I always seem to put all the weight back on and then some. I was on a new "healthy" eating plan. Great outlook!!! ~~Bets.

T.Rob Right on, you have put into words what I have been thinking all day long. Co-workers today have asked me over and over how much weight I plan to "lose"...normally in the past through previous diets it didn't even phase me, just lately I have gotten to thinking about the term "lose" or "lost"...way to go.
