    newat52 got a reaction from mommy_vsg in Need ideas; what should i tell my boss   
    You don't have to tell her anything. You are going out on medical leave I presume? All you boss has to know is that you are having surgery. Period.
    If you want to keep your medical history to yourself you have every right. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything personal.

    newat52 got a reaction from Adriana_losingit in Be honest - does anyone regret the surgery?   
    You have been very open and honest with your regret and I'm sorry so many people have attacked for it. Your feelings are what they are. But I can't help but hope that one day you will be able to come in and say, ya, know, maybe this was a good thing.
    I really do hope that for you.

    I agree. I went back and re read most of the OP's posts and they are all the same. Clearly she really didn't want to hear any other opinions other than her own and just wanted to say the same thing over and over with a nice little dig at the end of most of them for most anyone who had a differing view.
    After re reading the posts, I really just feel sad for her. There has to be a lot of insecurity there. Hope the best for her.

    I know you didn't ask me but I think if you look at the above post and most of your other posts, people take issue with your instance being private as "lying" it's not. Plain and simple. Your friend says she is dieting and exercising. Just because she didn't offer everything doesn't make it lying or hiding it. You keep calling it a lie. When anyone would try to provide a different point of view you nearly all the time take it back to being about you. "Yeah, I get that but I think she needs to stop lying." Over and over you keep talking about lying. Then in the post above you just rename it. Basically, what I see is once again, you make it about you while you dig at others. By saying it's ok to choose to hide it, some people are touchy about it, because they choose to hide it. Then you go right back to making it about you.
    It just doesn't come across as genuine. To be honest it comes across as judgmental when you say yeah, some people are touchy and need to hide and lie but I would rather be straight forward.
    Quite the backhanded dig.
    Not trying to be mean but you asked. I know it's not just how I see it as a great deal of others commented as well.
    Hope this helps you find the answer you are looking for.

    I totally understand! I am floored by what people think they have a right to ask. I was just raised to be private. It's who I am. Now when people ask a personal question such as salary I look them in the eye give a big smile and say " If you'll forgive me for not answering such a personal question, I'll forgive you for asking such a personal question." Most people will turn red and stammer If they persist, that is where my good graces end.

    Sorry but I disagree. The OP stated that she told her friend to her face to (for what in her opinion are lies.) "to stop the lies". What do you call that? The reason people were getting worked up was because over and over again she kept saying her friend was lying and everyone knew it. When, In fact, her friend was just choosing to keep things private. There is a big difference. Whenever anyone would try to give another point of view she kept going back to yeah, but "I" think she should stop lying, everyone knows she's lying and she was embarrassed for her.
    people who choose to share this information with everyone do so because it is their choice and theirs to share and know it's right for them. That is great for them and I respect it. I get ticked off when a few of them turnaround and call those who choose to keep their private life private, liars, ashamed, and such. Yeah I have even been told on this site that "if I want to go around lying" that's ok. Same person said I was "living a fake life" because I have the audacity to choose to keep my life private. I am not lying when I decide to keep my live private about anything in my life and neither is anyone else who chooses the same. Can't help but think those are the most insecure of all.
    Why can't those few who love to throw those words around just respect a different point of view and leave it at that?
    Is it really so hard?
    Point: How many threads have been started by people who start with the "Why lie", Lying about WLS, etc... all using the lie word.
    I've seen more than I care to in here.
    Now how many threads have you seen started by I am keeping my life private! I just don't understand why people would go around with blabbing everything about them?
    Haven't seen a one yet.

    I'm sorry you think that. That really is not the case. The OP put her opinion out there and said she didn't understand her friend was in her opinion lying. People responded and gave their opinions to give her another view. It's called a difference of opinion.
    People tend to get a bit touchy when choosing to keep one's life private is constantly being called a lie. It's not. Not even close. It just called privacy. All people were asking was to respect privacy and not calling them liars.
    That is all.
    Oh, BTW: the OP is not a newbie. She has been on this site a good deal longer than me.

    You are such a good friend that you tell her she is lying (as how most of us spell it) and you want her to do it your way when clearly she wants to keep it private? Wow. Just wow.
    If that's what you crazy kids are calling it these days.

    Um...HELLO??? You are judging!
    You keep saying you "just think it would be easier" for her to tell everyone every detail because YOU think it so. You keep calling her a liar. That my friend, is called judging others.
    Sorry, but it is what is is.
    And BTW: You don't need to understand what she is feeling. Have you ever thought that maybe if she wanted you to know she would tell you?
    Just a thought.

    What business is that of yours anyway? Just because you think it, doesn't make it so.
    While we may all be on the same weight loss journey, not everyone has the same path.
    Take your path.
    Give your friend the respect to take hers.
