Am I The Only One...?

[Marty McSkinnystein 342]

Just today I told the "Zumba girl" at work- skinny, perfect, hard body. I could tell she thought "Just do Zumba" in her sing songy sweet way...she IS extremely happy as these exercise people tend to be...(lol...as if it's a coincidence). But she put her arm around me and said something like "I'll be thinking (or praying?? maybe) for you" and crossed her fingers. And I know she was sincerely in my corner but she "KNOWS" that all all need is a good nutritionist and exercise. She doesn't have another experience, right? So how could I blame her- or anyone else for that matter, when they just don't understand.

Hey, I didn't "believe in it" either for a long time. I thought calories in, calories out.

Until I was educated about what happens for real with obesity.

I have told friends and family, but I don't want to share with people at work, because most of the people I work with are ugly hearted people and I don't want to share something so personal with them, never mind the fact that I didn't know for sure that the surgery was going to get approved at the beginning.

Ironically, I struggled (and am still struggling) with the decision to have the surgery. Telling people I'm having it (still don't know if I'm going to through with it) was the easiest thing to do.

I too have only told a few friends and my parents, of course my husband and my 2 boys know and support my decision. My husband is trying to get a revision from lap band to the sleeve too.

My nurse coordinator said "the easy way out is sitting back and getting more sick and gaining more weight." She too have surgery in 2003.
