My family is just judgmental sometimes. My mom has NEVER been as overwight as I am now. She has maybe ever carried 50 extra lbs. of weight and at the ripe old age of 58 was falling apart medically. Diabetes High BP High Cholesterol blah blah blah. Same with my daddy. But since were all nurses I casually mentioned an article I read about the band in professional conversation and I knew I couldnt tell her until a hundred pounds and a belly button ring after the surgery. I say just protect your dreams which means any dreamkillers dont need to know !
