Who Did You Tell?

As you embarked on your weight loss journey, did you tell many people? What did you tell coworkers? I'm still undecided on how much I will share with others and curious about what others have done.

I'm pre-op, but I first discussed it with a co-worker who had the VGS. He had surgery in april and had already lost 60lbs in 3 months. I talked with him about it and he encouraged me to check it out. After contemplating it, I discussed it with my husband and sister, who are both very supportive. I was worried how my husband would react being that he's pretty much a gym rat, going to the gym everyday. But he was very supportive and said he was behind anything that made me happy. ^_^ I told one other co-worker who I've worked with for the last 9 years. I was hesitant of telling my stepmom because she can be so judgemental (always gave me crap as a kid about being overweight) but I told her anyways. I wish I could tell my dad but he's suffering thru brain cancer and may not even know what I'm talking about. Those are pretty much the only the folks I plan on telling right now.
