"Easy Way Out" - Family Drama

Two women living together are bound to have disputes or differences of opinion. If she thinks you are living in another generation, or doesn't like the way you season the food, or what you made for dinner---it doesn't bother you, you just blow it off. I am sure that some of the things she does or wears or her opinions are silly to you, but that doesn't stop her. Don't let her opionion stop you.

WLS is important to you, but her opinion doesn't matter, so blow it off. My kids are 34 and 35. They admire me but still think a lot of things I do are stupid or old-fashioned. I admire them, but I think a lot of stuff they do is so un-important. We have different views, we love each other. Get your support from this site and talk to her about other things.

Deep down she is probably jealous. If she is obese as well, she is looking into a future where you are thin and she is not.

Maybe a heart to heart with her will help.

I would advise not talking too much about it. We get all caught up in ourselves, our journey, our diet, our new clothes ... and the obese people we leave behind are often jealous and hurt.

Do this for yourself and hopefully she will be supportive in the end.

We are always hearing the idiom "work smarter, not harder". You aren't choosing the easy way, you are choosing the smart way for you. Things change after surgery and it is a huge transition not only for us, but the people around us. She may be scared of the unknown.

Good luck!
