Coming Out To My Mother In Law



Recommended Posts

I looooove my mother in law. Buuuut I have had some serious anxiety over telling her. Initially I didn't want to tell her at all but she would be so hurt if I didn't and she later found out. She is extremely holistic. And never had weight issues. She is very thin and would never be able to come close to understanding what it's like to be over weight enough to qualify on bmi alone for sugary. I don't know how to handle this. I know 100% she would not want me to to this. But as I sat across from her talking about life today I felt guilty not telling her... Ah geez. I hope I get the guts to tell and that even though she disagrees is gracious enough to let it be. I know it's because she care. She really does... I'm just so nervous.

Sit her down, take a deep breath, and tell her just what you told us. She may surprise you. You might add, your not telling EVERYONE, but you wanted her to know, because her support means so much.....Good luck!

This reminds me so much of telling one of my best friends. She is an extremely healthy woman overall. I was very hesitant to tell her about this because I had no clue about how she would react. She has ended up being one of my biggest supporters! She is all about health- so of course she wants to see me healthy! She also had really great tips and advice for me. People that truly love you are so much more understanding than we think! Good luck with telling her, it most likely won't be as bad as you are expecting!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
