Sometimes.....I hate talking about it.
Hello.
So....i'm in the hallway at my job, waiting for an elevator, when 3 of my co-workers come out to wait as well. One mentions "My God, you are just waisting away to nothing, good for you....how are you doing it?"
I swear, I'm glad to be losing weight, and sort of glad of the attention it gets me, but I hate this question. I don't ALWAYS feel like going into the whole WLS thing with random people. Granted, if he was alone, I probably would have told him straight up what was going on, but there were other people there, all eyes on me.
I know I shouldn't be ashamed....but at the same time, do I HAVE to give everybody my damn business when they ask?
I just said "I'm at the gym 5x a week, and I eat very little".
I mean, te*****ially I didn't lie. But after I left, I felt almost bad for witholding the full truth. Should I feel that way? I'm 5 months post op, so i'm sure i'll be asked again and again......so how do you all handle it?
Being that you were in a "group",, my reply to him/her would of been,, "stop by my office later and we'll talk,, I really don't feel the need to get into it right now". (only if we were "talking" co workers). If not,, then my reply would be "I'm just doing my thing,, eating right and hanging at the gym".
