Kids Tell The Truth And It Hurts. Other Things That Happen To Be On My Mind.

As a parent we work so hard to teach our children not to be mean to other children. Don't say mean things you will hurt your friends feelings and so on.....What about your mom's feelings? My oldest daughter has told me several times that she thinks I am fat..I went and cried before coming back to explain to her that you don't talk to anyone like that.

 

Have you noticed that we are so much harder on ourselves? We do not hold other people to the high standards we hold for ourselves. Maybe if I were a little nicer to myself I would not be sitting in the boat I am in today. I vow to try not to kick myself so hard for mistakes I make. We all make them.

 

I am not a very patient person. I hate waiting to hear from the insurance company. I like to be able to control things and I hate not knowing. It is the not knowing that drives me insane. Ok if I have to wait 6 months let's get the appointments started. The faster I can get started the faster I will have it complete.

 

I am trying to up my water intake because for me I hate the lack of taste water has.fter I drink so much water I start feeling like I am gonna puke even with the thought of water. I have started using Milo as a flavor enhance to my water. If you only use a drop it gives the water a hint of flavor and that I can handle.

You are right about what kids say...over the years I've been embarrased more than a few times by school aged kids who have commented on my weight - and one of my children has made some rude comments from time time that were hurtful. I let him know and I don't think he will be so crude anytime soon.

Losing weight was MY choice and that is why I underwent WLS and not because of the rude comments of kids.

This is my journey and I'm taking ownership.

Don't get me wrong I am doing it for me, if I can get approved that is. I want to feel better and have a much easier time in finding clothes that fit. I want to be able to move easier too. There are so many reasons to do it and not nearly enough reasons not to.
