i wish yesterday was my last day of work.... Those people are stressing me out!
A coworker of mine yesterday asked me when surgery was (I've only told them I need to get my lapband corrected....they don't know I'm getting the sleeve!) so I told her it was next Tuesday.... In a rude attitude, her response was "so your getting the lapband removed right? Because I don't see why you can't lose the weight with just diet and exercise!"
this coworker of mine literally weighs 93lbs, has never had an eating problem in her life.... She's just this cute, tiny little Asian woman, about 35-40 years old.......and she's got the nerve to tell someone 3x's her size that 'diet and exercise' a going to fix me????!!!!! Oh hell no! I was so upset at that point.... I honestly didn't know how to respond to that. I just simply and softly responded with "I'm sure you have no clue what it's like to be this big and this disgusted in yourself. I'm glad diet and exercise work for you, but this is my body and my choice"
the look on her face was pure stunned..... I'm pretty sure no one has ever responded to her rudeness like that before....
I'm so tired of people telling me what I should and should not do with this body of mine.... "god gave you this body" yes....he did..... And unfortunately, I ruined it and I'm trying to get it back.....so shove off!
lord grant me the strength to continue to deal with these haters.... Help me see that they motivating me to work harder at the body I want!
anyone else have these issues with friends/family/coworkers who don't know what it's like being like us?
how did you deal with it?
This is probably my 100th attempt at starting a blog of any sort...I am never good at keeping up with it. However, even if no one ever reads this at least its a personal diary of sorts for me.
I have the same story as most if not all out here - tried everything under the sun to diet.
I went to a weight loss seminar and a light bulb finally went off in my head and I was aware that I had found people that understood my struggles and knew how to help me.
I am currently working on getting all of my required items before I can submit the request to insurance. Fingers crossed everything can be submitted by mid-August and surgery for sometime in October or November.
