I have worried about that same thing. I have told very few people. I don't know why I should keep my life choices a secret. In fact maybe this very post will make me come out on facebook to the fact I had surgery December 2nd. Those that want to judge will always find something to judge about. Those that wish to talk behind your back always have something to say. But those that would show love and support for me don't get the chance because they don't know. !! HMMMPPHHH!! that doesn't seem fair. I liked what Green*Eyed*Girl said. It is the easy way out-because for the first time in my life I will be able to do this! I am motivated not just emotionally but physically. I can say it will make losing weight easier for me. So let the Judy Judges, Betty Backstabbers have there go!!
