Something that bugs me
I can not agree with what everyone else says. I am one person that I do what is best for me and for my family. I really don't care what everyone thinks or says. Afterall, besides my husband, the person I go to bed with and wake up to in the morning is myself. I have to look at myself and the mirror and be comfortable with the person staring back at me. Other person's opnions are not going to change what that reflection is, only mine.

Hi Penny,
As an early post-op I did get those comments. Even my pcp said that he was concerned about my weight loss, at the time. Some of that sunk in and I began to eat more than I should. I wish that I hadn't taken what they said to heart. Enjoy your weightloss, and your body will know when enough is enough.
Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

Hi, Penny:
I have had comments, especially of late, regarding stopping losing now. I just smile and go on about my business. While the comments are well intentioned, I think, ultimately it is up to me to decide when enough is enough. I am going to let my body be my guide -- I will continue to do all of the things I know I need to do to lead a healthy life (the right foods, exercise, fluids, supplements, protein) and will get to where my body is happiest whenever it happens. I have exceeded my surgeon's goal, and I am 8 lbs from my personal goal...so no complaints here.
Do what is best for you -- oftentimes people think they are helping us by saying these things...we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it's all given with the best of intentions! :)

Hi Penny,
I know the feeling, I get it all the time from folks at church, neighbors and family. My BMI is 24 now and it is to be 22 according to the drs. Well I will stop losing when the body says enough is enough and until then I just keep smiling . I can't figure people out when I was heavier I always got remarks when are you going to lose some weight and now they want me to stop. I can't figure them out.
Thanks for posting Penny you look great.
