A great line from one of my Motivation apps.
I just found your 👃 nose, it was right in the middle of my business!
Shame they don't realise things are on a need to know basis, if they don't know already, than surprise, THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW!

Hey guys,
Can I ask what you told your co-workers as to why you were on a special diet or why/what surgery you were having?
You see where I work there are a couple of “bitchy” girls who like to analyse your lunch at the table and pass remarks on everything. For example I have my 17 stone self sitting at the lunch table with a salad and they’ll be like ‘is that all your eating?!’ Or if I get up and buy some chocolate from the vending machine they are like ‘good woman!!!’ It rattles me so much, they just love having me there at the fat girl!

To be honest I am dreading having to dodge their constant enquiries. I don’t owe them ANY excuses but I just know what I will be up against -_- ANY advice would be super appreciated :) thank you!

Just smile and nod and be satisfied that you know in your own mind what's going on... you are getting healthy and they really don't deserve or need to know why or how or any of the details.

Don't let their words wound you.

Or, you could just tell them to 'p*ss off'.

My co - workers Aunt had the surgery and was in surgery 2 weeks later because she ate a large slice of pizza.. SOOO.. my co-worker believes 1: I will need emergency surgery at some point. 2: I will fail miserably.. it just motivates me to prove the nay sayers wrong.. I’ve lost 64 lbs since mid January 19.. surgery date was 2/4/19 and I have kept on track which totally blows my mind .. who is his new person anyway!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
