Enlisting allies - fighting the good fight

Fantastic! I am one who has told anyone and everyone about my surgery and what I can and cannot have, etc. There are times when I get 'the look' but most of the time people have been extremely supportive and encouraging - my bff even found a sugar free carrot cake recipe w/a sugar free cream cheese icing that she made for my birthday - talk about support! And my feeling is nothing is too much work if it helps keep you focused and on track with your new body and weight loss. Congratulations!!

Thanks, Kathy!  

I've never been comfortable being the "center of attention" so I generally only tell people when it's something that really "needs" to be said.  But I'm getting a bit better about it now, and I'm realizing that the vast majority of people really do want to be supportive, which is great!

So did your friend share the carrot cake and cream cheese icing recipe?  Because that's one of my absolute favorite foods in the world and I would love to have that for my birthday in december!
