JennChap reacted to JennChap in My HUSBAND told me to ask YOU!!I havent even had WLS but have told everyone, I figure if they dont like it they can get over it... its not really their business. I dont get the stigma with it?!? How does it affect anyone but you? Plus I know everyone will ask what I am doing and I dont want to have to lie 20 times a day and make up all kinds of shit. I can see though that if your friends and family are really judgmental that you may feel the need to. But the idea that WLS is the easy way out is insane... and further more loved ones should be happy you are taking steps to better yourself? Just make sure at the end of the day you dont feel ashamed cause you shouldnt you are doing something amazing for you and anyone who cant understand that or respect you does not deserve your friendship... I have one friend who makes it clear she is not happy with the idea of me doing this that its "drastic" but if shes really my friend she will stand behind or just keep her mouth shut cause its not her choice and when we care about someone we support them... Even when we dont agree. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with all the babies!!
