Perhaps the word "fight" should be removed from this description?

Gripe, complain, moan, debate, rant and rave might work?

I have been told several times that I am "too skinny". The same person will then tell me I look great and she is jealous. I try to take the comments as a compliment. The other day I was showing her a project I want to do at my house and was pointing up at the roof. She grabbed the flabby underarm hanging from my arm and said "you should draw a nipple on these and tell everyone you have extra boobs". THAT HURT MY FEELINGS. I will be getting the arm surgery as soon as I can afford it.

She must have said it in a mean spirited way. Or our senses of humor are vastly different. I just think if someone said that to me, I WOULD DO IT. Then lift up my arm and tweak my fake underarm nipple and stare at them, breathing heavily.

@vogue...

my husband I'd totally against me having a lap band placed but he is still supporting MY decision. His beliefs are that we can lose weight the traditional way together, however he's a pure natural when it comes to any exercising regimens. The decision for WLS has been one of my ultimate goals for 2014, and with the support of my husband, children amd mother, I KNOW I will succeed. I've only told two friends of my decision and they are supporting me 100%. Friday is so close but yet so far away. I'm super excited and emotions are all over the place. #nervous #anxious #happy

So after hearing from the most negative person in the world tell me for months and months how she thinks of WLS is the easy way out and how unhealthy it is to do to your body she has the nerve to tell me she tried to get it done and our insurance doesn't cover it at work....mind you we work across from each other everyday at work...Hold me back....are you freaking kidding me??? wow!!!!! Will work twice a hard to lose weight to prove a point now...will take this moment and use it for good...

Oh my word that is so mean. I guess that's why she said it.
