Am I a lair?

[lovelyaskanbe 1]

I really don't care what other people think about me having this WLS. It was my decision and I had medical reasons why. Having the band is not a cure to all your problems. You still have to eat healthy and exercise. The alerts me of my limitations, without the band I had no limitations. I would eat and eat and eat. I know I have come a long way and I thank God for that. I don't eat half as much as I use to. My only thing now is working out on a regular basis. I'll work out good for a week and it never fails, something always comes up that prevent me from going to the gym but no excuse...I could workout at home even if it is for only 15 - 30 minutes a day.

i tell people. especially those who have weight to loose. i don't like making others feel like i have felt in the past.

i don't feel bad or quilty for having the surgery.

I told only a few people and i wish I hadn't. It is your body and your decision. You get to choose. Don't feel guilty or like a liar.

Thank you everyone. I do tend to tell people outside of work but for some reason within work I shy away from telling them. I know the word could get out from the few that know at any moment but I guess I'm just praying when and if that happens people won't lash out at me and be upset. I really don't think I have an unfair advantage with being in the contest. Most of the people in the groups are either right about my size or smaller. And the ones that have told me how they have done have lost more weight than me so far too.
