Why do I get all the anti-NSVs?

[Wheetsin 714]

Today a co-worker comes up and tells me, "I can really tell..."

Tell what? Tell who? I didn't do it...

"I can really tell you've lost some weight since your surgery."

Really? I never told you about my surgery.

"I'm glad your health wasn't really bad."

What? I've never been sick in the entire time I've known you...

So I tell her, "Well, maintaining my good health was one of the reasons I had the surgery - I was really high risk for a lot of things like diabetes, high BP, etc. and wanted to try and make sure I didn't full-on develop them."

She says... "Oh, wow - I can't believe you didn't have diabetes, that's really unusual for someone as big as you not to have it."

I've yet to receive a good, plain, un-hitched verbal NSV. I always get these stupid little antithesis NSVs! :angry

GRRRR. I hate it when some people speak before they think what they are saying!!!! Not all obese people have diabetes.

Don't worry you will get the "un-hitched NSV" you deserve!

Hey PNut - eventually coming for sure, coming before the year is up - probably. It all depends on how quickly I finish my classes. I attend BSU online for my Master's, and will have to make it out there to meet up with my advisor & graduation committee at some point, which is mostly determined by how many classes I'm willing to take at a time (aka how quickly I get close to graduating).

I will definitely post when I find out for sure. My only rule is - no molesting the redhead.

Dude. That's just rude. I hate STUPID skinny people.

The one time I had someone at work ask me something similar, the next day I came back and said, "oh is that a new base (foundation) that you've been using?"

And she said "yes! I just got it this weekend!" I replied, "Oh it looks great! It really helps to hide the acne scars." She shut up after that.

CONGRATS on the weight loss, no conditions added.
