OT: back from christmas!

Awwwww sweetie I am sorry she said that to you. I guess I can see why you hid the surgery from her in the first place. It makes me kind of mad that anytime someone who has once had weight on them starts losing weight people AUTOMATICALLY assume they are sick! That is not cool. YOU LOOK GREAT! And 100 pounds down is a HUGE milestone. BE PROUD OF IT GIRLIE! I CANT WAIT FOR THAT TO BE ME!!!! (((Hugs)))

That's exactly why I didn't tell her.  She will look for all the negatives about the surgery and not focus on the benefits. 
You will get to the 100 lb mark before you know it!!!!

well you know it was probably her being the worried type thinking that you got sick to lose the weight.  but for saying that you look terrible is just uncalled for!  I think you look fabulous honey and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!  *HUGE BEAR HUGS*

She comes to my house 2 times a week to check on my Mom, she lives 3 miles away from me and she hadn't seen me since May.  Can you tell what kind of relationship that we have?  I do love her, but she is very opinionated and I need to live my own life and make myself happy.  I didn't tell her when I had cancer either.  She would have an opinion about what kind of treatment that I had for that.  Oh well, can't please everyone.  Since then she has come over about 10 times checking on me just to make sure that I'm still "alive." HA< HA!!!

LMAO! well you know once you hit goal you can just tell her and she won't have anything tosay because it's clearly a success for you :)

What an AWESOME Christmas story!! So glad you had a Christmas to remember!!


PS This was the first time my Aunt from GA saw me since pre-surgery as well at almost 340lbs so seeing me at 265 I walked in the room and she got all teary-eyed and hugged me so tight. It was such an awesome moment!

it's a great feeling knowing that your family doesn't have to worry about whether YOU will be around for the next year!  I'm very proud of your progress hon!  You're doing wonderfully and look awesome!

Awe honey thank you ((HUGS))

My Aunt is the *only* person in my family not obese so it saddens her how the rest of the family is and everyones health is failing. So for her to see the change in me, gives her some hope!!

Oh Aaron....what an awesome story!  I'll echo what Tia said and recommend Michael's for glass covered boxes.  I bought one after Mike and I got married and our cake topper, champagne glasses, my garter, and the flowered comb I wore are inside.  It's been three years and they still look like I just put them in there.

cool heather!  I'll go there after I get paid again!  Thanks for that!
