When do you quit???

I think that the decision to share your personal journey is a personal choice. You are not under any obligation to share this journey with anyone. If you don't care to share this information with people, I just wouldn't bring it up. If they want to know why you don't eat this or that, just tell them you are 'allergic' to it, because now you are.

Personally, I am over 4 years post op so many people that know me now never knew me before. Initially, they don't know about the 'before' version of me. Usually with time, they will see a before photo or something else will happen and it comes up. If anyone asks how I lost the weight, I'm upfront about it, but that's just how I choose to handle it. Also, the fact that I'm a very active WLS support group leader probably makes my perspective on it a little different.

All of that said, it's a private and personal decision which doesn't require you to divulge personal and private information to strangers.

 

When do you quit having to tell them?  Um, right now.  You never have to tell anyone if you don't want to. 

Do you have a lot of people that don't know you well asking why you don't eat or drink something?  I don't get asked that much.  When I do, I just say something like "oh, it's got too much sugar for me" or "well, I'm not real hungry right now but it sure does look good" or something like that.

Thanks for the responses.  I don't mind sharing my story at all.  I'm very proud of my outcome and my daily success.  Its just some day I want to move on and forward with my new life and not have to explain myself to anyone and everyone.  Congratulation to all on your success! I feel so blessed! :D

Truly, it's a matter of personal choice, isn't it? I tend to share a lot because of the educational opportunity factor, but I may not be so eager 3 years out.

I think it's nobody's business what you eat or how you eat. Just enjoy being the new you!
