Secrets
I was sitting around today thinking about my surgery and those that have been supportive and those that have not or would not be.
A year ago when I began thinking about undergoing the surgery I approached a friend. I began asking his opinion about the surgery. when he said you don't need it you just need to diet and keep at it. I sat looking at him as if he had lost his mind, he is over six feet tall and grossly over weight. He has a bad habit of eating food from the plate of his son when he does not finish his meal. But he knows my diet habits?
I let the subject drop and have not said word about it since. I went to my information session to decide if this was the choice for me and was encouraged that it was.
As the year has gone by he has seen me and is always in my cabinets. He is quick to notice there is not any junk food or bad snacks. He noticed the various protein drinks and asked what I was doing with them. I told him i was experimenting with favors and staying my course on my diet.
All of this to say is that I am keeping secrets from those that are friends. I don't want to be judged by them even when I feel I have been judged.
One of my own sisters thinks I should just keep dieting and that the surgery is extreme. My feeling is that of course she would she's never been obese.
To be fair I have told five people and they have been most supportive and from this I am happy. My overall happiness is my responsibility and I'm very happy with my decision to a better way of living.
I do worry that once I start dropping weight that the cat will be out of the bag. But until that time I will be keeping my secret.
