    Specific friend advice needed! Pic included

    I am wondering, If she did point out your weight loss, what would have been your answer? My dear friend ( 25 years strong) never once mentioned my weight to me. At my heaviest. She has watched me go through every diet plans there is. Not a comment. We have shared many meals together. Do I really think ( if I was hiding my wls) she would've not noticed that I eat like a child now? pick the healthiest items on the menue? that I am not gaining? that I am sticking to a "diet" when I have failed every single one in the past?! Would I really just think to myself that she's just a rude, selfish, competitive B?! But I am the friend that could not even tell her I had surgery. Reminds me of a "friend" that never told me she was pregnant. A coworker told me. I saw her before she started showing, and four months after she gave birth. She got annoyed when I didnt ask about the baby. I quietly pointed out to her, she never told me she was pregnant. At the end, I am more at ease when the friends that I didnt share my wls with, dont comment on my look. Less uncomfortable.
  5. TWO POUNDS AWAY FROM ONDERLAND!!!!! I fully intend on hitting that by Friday. So, there's going to be some tough love this week. NO SUGAR, LOW CARB, HIGH PROTEIN AND STAYING ON TOP OF MY WATER INTAKE. let's do this:)

    I was thinking the exact same thing. She was told by someone about the surgery. But since it was never discussed with her personally, she's turning a blind eye to the loss. We do our best ( or so we think) to keep our surgery a secret. But people are very aware of our we struggle with our weights. When they noticed that we are losing and maitning! they know we got a little "help". Plus it is hard for others not to notice the small servings, the slow eating, the healthy choices that we are so trained to make. I was the girl with the plate piled high and that went for seconds always. Plus if it was deep fried, sugary, unhealthy, then it was on my plate for sure lol!! It was not hard for peopleto noticed the difference.A friend of 20 years is going to put one and one together. Or, it could be that she's so use to you going up and down weight wise, that she was not going to make a big deal out of how you look now because how you look then didn't affect her.

      Me too. Besides Thanksgiving we have had 3 family birthdays. I have had cake 3 times. A whole piece with ice cream. Last night was one and I felt terrible for hours. This is just the beginning. A lot of gatherings and too much food. Missed it all last year because I had surgery Nov 28. I really need to control myself. My clothes feel real tight this morning.

      I feel yall for some reason sweets are getting the best of me but i am really trying to keep it under controll. The holidays is almost over an maybe i can refocus myself

  17. Good to see you all!!!

  18. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!! I AM HAPPY, SCARED, NERVOUS, EXCITED.......HAPPY, JOYFUL, HAPPY!!!!! First OB/GYN appointment is this Friday. I have tried for so long, I just can not believe( scared to believe) it's true!! My husband and daughter are walking around with big smiles on their faces lol!!! I am happy as well, but have this little fear in my heart that just wont die down yet. S.N someone told me yesterday that I was no longer pretty. She felt I was prettier heavy, and now I look sick, and ordinary. Crazy thing is, she was not being mean or vicious. Her comments felt sincere. For that reason, what she said affected me. I keep replaying in my head what she said to me. I am worried that this is gonna be the open "window" to get off track.

    Halfway There!

    I pray all goes well for you. I pray that she is healthy and beautiful.
