Almost at goal, wierd comments and how to respond question?!?
People don't understand, WLS isn't like poking a hole in a water balloon and letting the fat fall off until you turn to dust. You have actually had to work at losing the wieght, and it is harder for most people to not regain than it is to not lose too much. If someone asks me how I'll stop losing wieght, I usually just say my body will stop where it wants to, and if that is lower than I want, I'll eat more calories. I hate it when people ask me how much more I am going to lose. I'm at goal! But I still feel fat and question if I should lose more when they ask. I usually just say none, I like where I am now. It makes me so mad when they question if I should be eating what I'm eating or the amount I'm eating. I feel like telling them that yes, I'm eating this, and I look damn good so back the hell off. But I don't say that. It's like everyone expects me to regain the wieght like being overwieght is a character flaw or something. Don't let anyone else tell you how much you should wiegh. I am 5'4" and wiegh 140 lb, and my doctor said I had lost all of my excess fat and I could stay there. I wear a size 6, and if I didn't have the thigh skin that I still have, I would wear a 4. I don't know where my weight is comming from, but if I dropped any more, I would look ill. You can't always go by the scale.
