Just had my first "oooh surely u can't have any more weight to lose.... got to be careful u don't get too thin"....

I explained patiently that I am still overweight and that I am trying to get to a normal BMI. But there was still a great deal of sucking of teeth before I was told I needed to be really careful or my pretty little face will collapse!

As this person never told me to look after myself when I was overweight, I am treating this as insincere concern ... but getting my defence ready for other comments. This is way harder than comments about the surgery, this feels more personal.... But bring it on, I am sooooo ready for the next comment :-))))

People can be so idiotic sometimes! Mostly it's because they don't know what to say. Why do they have to comment on anyone's weight, fat or thin? If I saw an unattractive person, I wouldn't feel the need to tell them they are ugly. Or that they look better now that they put some make up on. You can't tell I've lost weight yet (30 pounds lost) but I'm bracing myself for the backhanded compliments. I'm thinking my husband and kids observations will be the only ones I will trust.

So taking all those magic diets was healthy for you back thin,you get skinny and suddenly your in a health nightmare. lol.

I guess this is where the term "Devil's Advocate" comes in. My second ex husband (not that I am hard on men) told me that every time I lose weight I get jowls. Geeze Luize. I didn't try again until after I left him to wait hand and foot on his own self, in the middle of the night. I am one of those people who loses weight from the top down, too. With the surgery coming up, I know my belly will catch up this time. It is a shame that those snipers can't mind their own business.
