my vent

Sherry I have only changed when It comes to people walking over me...I have always stood up for me but if my family or someone dear asked me to do somethin even If I didnt want to do it they knew I would...just since I have lost weight I can now say NO..and not let it bother me

I know for me that I have really become assertive since losing this weight.. Just this morning, I caught my neighbor dumping their trash in my can for pickup.  Their can's were just emptied yesterday (Monday morning) and now they are putting trash in my can.. Well, let's just say I had a temper from you know where at 8 AM this morning and the whole entire neighborhood heard about it..LOL. I was in my nighty letting them know how I felt about it.. They can start paying my trash bill every month if they are going to use it.. This wasn't the first time, this was just the first time that I witnessed it myself directly out my playroom window.    I have always been assertive and self independant, but since I have had this surgery I have even more outspoken..  DH thinks it's because of my mommy status but I think it's a combination of both..

All I can say is good for us that stand up for ourselves and we will not be walked on anymore.

wow I likes you...I likes u alot!
I would have dragged his trash out of my cans and throw it in his yard saying...HEY neighbour somehow your trash got dumped wonder how that happened

Thank you sweetie..LOL..  The trash did end up going back into their yard but after the fact I should have shredded it to pile but than again they wouldn't pick it up and it would trash the neighborhoo.. The trash was just the icing on the cake for me because their have been several events leading up to this.. It was my breaking point..LOL...

I am glad us WLS patients have become assertive..


Sheila

me too! To me I found myself..I am not a doormat I am not the last one you call I am not the one that has no life so call her..Those days are gone just like my weight

Don't feel bad I have been accused of being the "B" word since surgery.. I think they put a BS filter in during surgery and now my tolerance for everyone else crap is non~existant!

Walk away slowly from the chips & cookies and no one will get hurt!

ya know I was thinking the same thing..cause since march I am intolerate of other peoples crap....
btw i dont have any chips or cookies...unless u count my protein bars..

GOOD!!

Ok gotta ask what kind of protein bars?
I have no desire to eat either cookies or chips and there are some in the house! lol
I find myself craving chicken, chicken & more chicken! weired huh?!?!

I love spicy foods and chicken of any kind

What a day. Sounds like you need a hug.
((((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))))))))
