a small vent!

Okay, I was talking to my roommate/boyfriend about my 2 pound weight loss at weigh****chers this morning and how I skip meals, and then eat too much and do you know what he said, yeah, you don't eat that much, you just need to exercise more? I work 40 hours a week, help him take care of 6 cats, three of them very sick, take care of my golden retriever, numerous trips to the vet for the sick kitties, housework, weigh****chers, when can I find time to do more exercise then I do now? this from someone who sits around at work and waits for calls to fix the machines at his work, then comes home and sits in front of the tv....sorry...just need to vent...

Tell him you need his support not his nasty remarks. If he says more I would find a new roommate/ BOYFRIEND!!! That is not nice!! Let him know he is replaceable!

Good Luck....connie d

oh he's good at those type of remarks, and if you say anything about it....you are too sensitive and he's only trying to help....he is also bipolar....I really need to work on my low self esteem issues......

Plus he's a man. They always have to put their two cents worth in, LOL.

I agree with the two cents worth coming out of their mouths and that is about the extent of what the comments are worth too! Just consider the source! That should take care of it.

Okay, I know what he said pissed you off, but he has a point.  I will be the first to take up for the woman but if you don't have time for exercise now, what are you going to do post wls?  You must exercise after wls or you won't lose the optimum weight.  So, do like I do, get up an hour earlier and walk. 

Oh I do exercise but not as much as he thinks I should....I walk over a mile a day now....and run up and down stairs at work....

hey char i hear where you are coming from!!! my soon to be ex husband was like that!!! he could dish out the nasty comments but never a nice one to anybody!!!!  ignore the clod or get a new one...just wait til you lose the extra weight and see that your self esteem comes back and thenhe better watch out because you are woman hear you roar!!!!!!!!!!!! yes it will come back to you and he will see that he can't make those comments to you anymore because you aren't gonna take it!!!!!

yes you do have to exercise more after WLS and with the weight coming off you will find that you can and will move more!!!

wishing you the best and come back anytime to vent!!!!

hugs

Char, don't ever feel bad about venting here, that is just one of the reasons we come here, to vent, for support, for encouragement, advice. it is nice to have  aplace to go where others totally understand.

And me I would probably say, well if you'd get off your but and away from the tv and help more here at home maybe I could get more exercise or else hit the road jack and I'll find someone more supportive, of course that's just my opinion and me being witchy!! LOL!! 

The "nice" me would say if you help me more at home maybe we could exercise together!  Paulette

Such a dilema   or   ???????????? LOL!!!!!!!
