Oh yea..I lie all the time now...well, when it comes to my weight

Are you losing weight?

Me: No, my clothes shrunk in the dryer, its tighter so makes me look thinner (lie)

How are you losing so much weight?

Me: Oh god, I live in the gym. I exercise 7 days a week, glad its paying off (lie)

Thats all you eat?

Me: Yea, not that hungry, Water filled me up (lie)

You drink a lot of water!

Me: Oh I love water! (Biggest b.s lie)

Lies,lies, lies...but really I'd rather lie than to tell my business and be criticized and hear negative comments people have to say about having wls.

So, I'm a little odd, I have no problem telling people how I lost weight. I too work in a school and I had my surgery the summer of 2014. I loved that people noticed my weight loss. There were a couple of people who were a little annoying, but I ignored them for the most part. Now that I'm two years out no one says anything. I think most people have forgotten that I was heavy

This unfortunately isn't an option for me. I work in the automotive industry where 99% of my coworkers are men. And at my job of that 99% male populous, over half are gym nuts. They would never understand.

They are all about this supplement and that workout and how long they spent in the gym and how much they bench...... Yada yada. It came in handy when I was looking for some guidance on protien shakes and bars.

Which is also pretty lucky because mostly they just leave me alone and congratulate me on the loss.

One nice thing about working with men, is they won't ask you the kinds of invasive questions women will, for fear any female health questions might lead to lady problems, and they don't want to hear that. Working in a male dominated field has some perks, fewer nosey women.

That's definitely true! There are perks. One is that my closest friend at work is a guy and I can tell him ANYTHING without worrying about him blabbing to everyone. ????
