Hi everyone, i wanna let u all know what happened earlier today. Some may think its wrong what I did but I think its pretty darn funny myself lol. Ok so I took one of my dogs outside and i decided to sit out in the sun for a while. So, i was sitting there and a neighbor came up to the fence and started talking to me, just shooting the breeze ya know. So, i reached over to pet hershey and the guy goes eww. I look at him and say, whats wrong. He goes off and says, Linda, I think you are a attractive woman but that hanging skin is so ugly. At that point I am speechless. Well needless to say that passed really quick and I tell you folks, I WENT OFF!! I looked at him and go, You think I like this hanging skin? Do you actually think I like having to wear long sleeve shirts all the time because of it? He looks at me and goes, well I don't think you like it. So, i go and say, well your wrong. I am very proud of this skin because of the simple fact I have lost weight and I am diong what I am suppose to be doing to keep the weight off. In another year, hopefully I can get my arms done but until then you don't have to look at them now do you! He just stood there for a minute and says, and I quote, "When you had that surgery, you took the easy way out. You could have lost the weight on your own." Ok, now you all know I am a nice person and I always try to keep a smile on my face, but he crossed the line when he said that. I told him its not the easy way out. We have to deal with temptations all the time. We have to watch what we eat. We have to do a lot of things different then others do. Well I said a few more things and he says ok Linda, I still say you could have just lost the weight on your own. You just did that so you wouldn't have to exercise. I just looked at him and well, I did something I never would have done to anyone but he really mad me mad. See, my dog hershey tries to jump the fence and I have to always keep the water hose with me when I take him outside cause he dont like water, (except for when he gets a bath lol), and if he tries to jump the fence I squirt him. Soooooo, I had the water hose in my hand. You know where this is going don't ya? lol. Yes people, I squirted him with the water hose lol. I know it was wrong but I was just sooo upset. He stood there looking like a old wet dog and I started laughing so hard I almost fell to the ground. After that I told him, "Since you don't like seeing my arms, you better not look over here on the first cause i'm gonna be in a bathing suit and when you look over here, im gonna wave at you just so you can see my skin jiggle! lol"  Oh and while all of this was going on, my son had come home from school, and i didnt see him standing at the door watching me. All of a sudden I heard a "YEA, GO MOM! DO IT AGAIN!" lol. Needless to say, the guy hasnt said anything to me since earlier today. But lord help me it felt so good to just let him have it. I see how people look at me when i am outside and i have a short sleeve shirt on but you know what, I dont care anymore. let them look. I'm proud of the skin im in because I have worked so hard to get to where I am now!! 
So, yep thats what happened. I find it funny but when it happened I was as mad as a hornet lol. Hope you all enjoyed my little episode lol....

I'm so proud of you for sticking up for yourself.

  Much more and he'd have been begging for mercy.


I wish I was closer so I could hug you. For over the past year I've watched you come into your own. Today is like graduation day....Your neighbor is proof that we can change ourselves physically but there is absolutely no cure for stupidity. No surgery can correct his stupidity.

Woo Hoo!!!! Keep that garden hose handy. You never know when you may need it.
