I have told my close family members, boyfriend, boss, one Co worker, and 2 best girl friends. I have never felt more support in my life. I'm truly greatful that everyone thinks this is such a great decision and are willing to support me .
I don't want to tell everybody bc frankly it's not their business and I don't want to hear any negative comments . But once the surgery is over , if a friend does ask I will be honest . Most of my friends are over weight , but scared of the thought of having surgery. But i think if they know I went through it , and see how well I'm doing I can maybe help them along their journey .
I'm a social worker so i'm always trying to find a way to help others. I just want my journey to be positive along the way with no negative energy.
