I Did It!!!

[RhondaMarie 67]

I finally told my boyfriend the missing pieces!

He knew I was having a hiatal hernia repair, but I hadn't told him about the band. We were talking about my reluctance to stay overnight. He thought I should just to get some good rest.

He has been pre-op diet supportive and it began to feel like a lie of omission to tell everyone, but him.

His first word was "No." But he quickly started asking a few questions and it's all good. I think it really caught him off guard.

I was explaining that I 'should be' 160lbs according to the charts. I told him I dont really ever expect that exactly, but that I had a LONG way to go in that direction.

I honestly don't believe I am built to be thin or skinny. That doesn't mean I don't want to be a little less thick!

He knows I have been going hard in the gym & he knows my blood pressure/joint issues. He knows I have been lectured about when not if I developed diabetes.

It was all such a non-issue.... I feel weird about my embarrassment & defiance that kept me from telling him all this time.

I can't dwell on that now. What's done is done & I am keeping it moving!!

WTG. It's your health you're improving to be better for him, and anybody else.

Keep the faith and stay positive.
