Telling Others About This

[buffalogal 52]

Maybe this is part of my hesitation to talk to many people about this. A very dear, old friend and I were talking about aging and how hard it is to lose weight, so I decided that it was a good time to let her know what I was up to. She was not the person I expected to hear this from, but she wasn't very pleased and proceeded to tell me about a teenaged girl who died from the procedure. I just let her do it, knowing these moments will occur. In fairness, she felt she needed to warn me, in the end, she'll understand.

I too had hesitation from a friend who basically wanted me to try anything to everything first....yet I had. This person who I love dearly has not been overweight in her life. I just explained that I had done my research and made the best decision for me. I want to live my life to the fullest and its my choice. I find a lot of people who are so negative about it are also truly uneducated about any of it. So you know in your heart if this decision is right for you. So just follow your heart.
