My mistake telling people...

I never thought I would let little stuff bother me because I'm pretty much an open book... Well I kept my journey to myself, family and of course my employer because of using my insurance... Everyone seemed to be very supportive... I don't know why I thought I was any different or why I thought I'd be immune to people's opinions.. but I guess I'm not..

Peoples opinions and statements can be flat out hateful and unsympathetic.. I've heard "your better than that," "you just have to put more time in at the gym," "I knew someone who does from that," " it's all in your mind."

I wish I said nothing to anyone..
