So im not one to hide the fact that im trying to get healthy, mainly because im embarressed and want people to know that im trying to do something about it. I went to church today and i was prayed for because i was having surgery and the comments people made really brought me to tears. Maybe im just being really sensitive right now but i took offense to them. I know im supposed to be focused on healing and not weight loss yet but ive lost 8 pounds since surgery and its been only 4 days so im proud of that! One lady asked what i was doing out of the house and i said that im supposed to walk a lot and she goes "will you should be doing that anyways!" We had a potluck at church and my husband brought me soup to eat while everyone else had burgers and my friend next to me goes. " im gonna go get some real people food!.....Another lady said im too young to not do something about it....all these people are trying to be supportive but they end up being honest for a change and it burns a little i guess. They dont bring up my weight on normal occassions but now that im banded, they act like they can say something....I know im overweight, im trying to get healthy but these comments are making me feel really bad about myself. My husband told me to use it as fuel and to not let i bother me but it does....I just want the weight gone now!! Im only 4 days into this band and im just having raw emotions, is this normal???
