4 months out :)
The "skinny" ones will NEVER understand, those are the ones who say you're lazy and should do old fashioned exercises on the floor & eat less and not junk... (that is my mom) uggggg ***** she has NO IDEA !!! Just do what YOU have to do for YOU !!! Never mind the know it all's & the haters ... They obveously aren't your friends after all ...
YES !!! Use that quote of mine .. "I'd rather die trying" !
As hard as it is to do ... IGNORE THEM & don't bring it up around them & if they do just say "I'm not discussing this issue with you, it's MY issue & I WILL do what I HAVE to do" ... I also STOPPED ALL CONTACT with my mom & sisters In August and I only JUST started talking to my Mother in February AFTER my surgery ... My sisters I still don't talk to yet ...But my Mom still blows me off and makes me feel worthless, but that's nothing new, I've been worthless my entire life !! (TO HER)
Awww... I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better. It will be helpful for them to know that you are still putting in some serious work!! The surgery doesn't make good choices for you. Maybe once they see your success, they will see how hard you worked and eat their words.
Were they supportive after the first surgery?
No they weren't ... And I'll tell you why :) Both of my sisters are bigger than I was.... One is taller and the other is shorter ... Neither can afford the surgery and nor do they care to change anything about the way they live.... ME doing something about ME forces THEM to look at themselves, I think !! And the FACT that they couldn't afford it coupled by they would NOT have surgery even if they could afford it .. I don't know what their issues are, all I know is that I did what I had to do to stay alive & be healthier all around ... They will be very jealous when they see what I look like now compared to what I lookED like in January ....
. I can't wait to hear what they say when they see you. Keep up the good work!I'll pray that it is a peaceful reunion and that you won't feel uncomfortable. I'm also sure that you are going to impress them. Even though this is about your health and not them, it'll still feel good and you deserve to gloat...a little. LOL
Same here. All the exercising did was tighten the muscle under the fat but the fat remained. I probably had a 6-pack under my belly blab. I had the calories in/out down to a science. Nothing happened unless I dipped dangerously low to the point where I was sick and as soon as I started to eat again, it came back double fold.
Thanks, I'm not the one who should be uncomfortable! I didn't do anything wrong to cause any of this .. LOL I don't gloat ... People and their attitudes and loss of friendships have actually made me feel "guilty" for loosing the weight ... I hear ya !! It sucks .... We'll be okay though, you & I and the rest of them out there who've dealt with the negative people we know .... I did it for the right reasons and I am the one who has to live with myself so if they wanna go then that's their choice, right ??
