in laws are coming to town - what to do??

my in-laws are coming down from Toronto this weekend. they do not (and will never) know about my surgery. we have not told them i have lost any weight. in fact, i have pretty much told my DH i will not be in any pictures he sends to them.

a little background, my DH and i met on the internet ***gasp*** about 12 years ago when it wasnt a scary place ... :rolleyes ... we married without him telling them about me ... i know not a good thing.

when i went up to Toronto to meet them, pretty much the first thing they asked me was how much do you weigh. they are thin Chinese who expected DH to marry a tiny Chinese woman ... i am neither...

i was thinking IF they bring up the weight loss - they may not even say anything, they are "like that" - i will just say a little over 30 pounds and just say it's not something that i really talk about. i dont think i want to admit that i've lost almost 100 pounds cause that will just make me admit i had that much to lose and i obviously need to keep working at it.

can this post be any longer? sorry. i appreciate any feedback.

thanks!

Hi Losing :) I met my hubby on the internet too! 10 years ago...we've been married over 9 years now and are VERY happy! He also has a judgemental mom. Thankfully, she's across the pond in England, so I don't see her too much...our relationship is much happier that way :)

Well, I hope your visit ends up being a positive experience for you. You've accomplished A LOT and should be proud to look them in the eye and welcome them into your home :) Best wishes for a great weekend :bananapartyhat:

Did you serve them take-out Chinese food for dinner? Let us know how it went, eh. We have all had MIL problems.
