Devastated

Someone once asked me when I was due. I answered, "10 years ago!" Boy was that person embarrased, and boy did I feel lousy.

Yes people are insensitive and unthinking, but YOU'RE the one who's lost 65 lbs. Hurray for you

big hugs,

Sometimes people just plan s*ck!!! You're working hard. Don't let someone steeped in stupidity ruin this for you. We all know those hurts. Just think how they'll cringe when you're all healthy and thin and they're still stupid!! Keep your head up, sweetie! Linda

OKay sweets, screw them.  Look at you!  YOU are so amazing!!! You have lost 65 pounds! That is a beautiful thing!  Do not let that comment rob you of the beauty you have.  People make the dumbest comments with out thinking.  Do not get down or regress to allow you to eat emotionally.  You had a good cry and I thik I would of too...you never forget how far you have come and how soon you will be at goal.  (((HUGS)))

I had a 'reverse' similiar situation- right after my surgery I was home recovering and I had a contractor over to give me estimates on redoing my bath. When he asked me to hold a ruler in place (over my head) I explained I had just had surgery and couldn't lift my arms above my head. He LEAPS to conclusion and says..."oh did you have Gastric Bypass?" - okay he was right..But that was besides the point.. what if I had had a hystorectemy or something like that??  I figured he was pretty bold for ASSUMING.. not as upsetting, but there are ******** everywhere! Sorry you had to deal with them

You could always say that you changed your mind and don't want to give birth so you decided to let your kid stay "inside" !   Or that you were waiting till it reached 20 lbs birth weight so you could get into Guinness Book of Records!  

I absolutely LOVE you!!!!!  Thanks for a good belly laugh!!!!

First of all congratulations on your amazing weight loss!!!! If only I was 65 pounds down!  Please do not let people's foolishness discourage you from reaching your goal. They are not worth it. Rather, use it as fuel to propel you closer to your goal.  I was 10 years, (yes, 10 years old) the first time someone asked me if I was pregnant. Then several times throughout my life. I was once in a store bending down to get an item and a woman who worked there came over and stated, "You shouldn't be doing that in your condition." She meant well, and I just thought she was being nice. I then went to pay for the items and she met me at the counter and asked me, in her cute, skinny voice, "When are you due?" I replied, "Oh I am not pregnant, I am just fat." She shut up real fast.  Nowadays, no one asks anymore, because it is apparent I am fat and not pregnant. I think I would rather them ask their ignorant questions.  Now, I have learned to pray for people who like to insult me. It releases me from feeling awful and it helps me move on. I will love them (despite their faults) and I will let God deal with them. You should be very proud of your accomplishment and know that you have blessed me tonight by being an encouragement to me. God Bless!

Thank you, thank you, thank you....no one can truly understand how comments like that can make you feel unless they have been there.  It stinks that people don't show more decorum, but what can you do?  Thanks for your support and all of the best to you on your journey. Noralynn
