I Wish I Hadnt Told A Soul...im Tired

I'm tired...of explaining myself.

I'm tired...of people asking 'how much' I've lost

I'm tired...of people who live far away , saying 'I can't wait to see your skinny ass' for the holidays.

I'm tired..of people asking 'can u eat that?'

I'm tired of people's font right obnoxious comments!

It's my business, no one else's. And that's the only regret I gave with the band so far. Just venting. Thanks.

I am the opposite. I love people asking how much I lost, what can I eat or not eat and other prying questions. It doesn't bother me in the least. Why should it? I think the band is The best thing since sliced bread and since I hardly eat that anymore the band moved up in line. ;)

Before my surgery I told some close friends and my husband told everyone else. LOL. It was great to have their support and not one person was doom and gloom or rude about it. At work I didn't tell anyone not because I was concerned about it but it's personal and I rarely mix my professional and personal life. I did end up telling my boss a few months after surgery... And I can't actually recall how or why.

If it bothers you or you think it will then Don't say anything. If its too late and the Beans are spilled.... Say... My dr says the weight should come off gradually over a period of 2 1/2 yrs.. Or what ever your number is , that way people won't be expecting you to be thin tomorrow.

Best of luck!

The question I am tired of is "Now that you have lost the weight, why don't you have it removed?" Hello because I want to stay this size not go back to where I was.

Oh, if only I could rewind! I run into folks in the break room and before they speak they take a full body scan.

I'm so sorry! I chose not to tell anyone. Only my husband knows. My kids don't even know. But they are 8 and under.

Good luck! I'm sorry you're getting slammed with this.

I haven't minded telling people about my journey and have only had one person ask me why not just diet. I don't tell everyone, but if it seems relevant I do. I don't participate in a work breakfast the other morning and I told someone why. I am proud of my choices and I could care less what others think.
