No Pleasing Everyone
I have to vent today. I recently saw my uncle and aunt who I have not seen since January just before my surgery. I did tell them that I had the WLS and they were totally supportive of my decision. Anyway they recently came to visit my parents and were pleased with my weight loss but then my Aunt and my Dad proceed to tell me that I have lost so much weight I now look really OLD. You know all the skin is sagging in all the wrong places and what not. I was so upset the whole weekend. I just turned 40 recently and this is a sore subject to say the least. Has anybody else experienced this or is it just me??

Ya know i kinda felt that way last night while sitting outside with my hubby,He says Honey you need to color you hair dark to get rid of the greys,cause they are really showing,( now mind you i only frost my hair,have done it for yrs,,,But i am losing hair now and will for awhile,but i am afraid to color it) I stood up told him it was a good thing i loved him or he would be wearing my fist up his nose,Well he couldnt apologize enough for saying what he did! So yes i just say to those that said rude things to bite me!Hugs Trish
I think family feels they can get away with comments other people can't. My hubby is always asking me if I can 'do something' about my upper arms or if sit-ups will help my squishy belly - or if walking or working out will help my legs. YOU KNOW YOU JUST WANNA SMACK 'EM!. I finally told him the other day that I would start doing sit-ups just as soon as he does - its not like the man is an Adonis - he has a very round little belly and is 19 years older than me. I don't think he says these things to be mean - he really doesn't have much couth sometimes. He told me just yesterday that people notice my weight loss more because I've lost 'so much bulk' - his exact words. Felt real good about that comment - NOT.
Yeah, its a good thing I love him or he'd be eating a knuckle sandwich too!
Don't let them get you down - remember your health is first and foremost a top priority - we'll all deal with our loss skin and saggy butts and boobs later down the road - right now we have to concentrate on being heathly and happy with and for ourselves. Write off the comments as ignorance and try to move on. I know its not always easy, but its not worth keeping yourself aggrevated over, either.
