How Would You Respond?

[peacequeen 434]

I struggled with whether I wanted to tell anyone or just a few or no one,,I thought long and hard. So I had the surgery and only a few knew,,close family. So after I lost my first 60 pounds I posted on fb and was so surprised how many "likes" and wonderful and positive comments I got. So I had a positive experience coming out about my wls. Now I've decided that if anyone says anything negative or just asks if I had surgery..I will say "Yes, I chose to take the hard way out instead of just dieting because that's the easy way out."

Private can also simply be quiet, intimate, and protective.

...

The woman who lost those 50 pounds is a warrior. Big time. Sit quietly and listen to her.

I don't think of Facebook as private in any sense of the word.

And OP titled this topic "how would you respond". This is how I would respond. But I won't be told to sit quietly like a child on a chat-site!!!

Sure keep it secret! Lol! Like people won't snicker it behind your backs, knowing nothing, because you've told them nothing.

Oh, and yeah- low carb high Protein has REALLY worked for y'all before!

Thank you mam!

I think DeterminedGirl was hoping the OP would listen to her inner voice by saying that. That's how I read it anyway.

Oh *blush* if that is true I'm sorry I got too riled up... My OH says arguing online is like arguing with a baker when you asked for a dozen and they didn't give you 13... Lol

Whoa. Sorry to have this happen. I just thought that, whatever was said outwardly, there was an inner response that needed to be made as well. I was just trying to speak to that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yes! I would tell her "yes I did' date=' and I'm proud of my decision to take control of my health and my life! If you sould like more info I will be glad to give it, otherwise please keep any negative opinion to yourself. I didn't do this for others, I did it for ME!"[/quote']

Awesome response! The best one so far. Be proud ,WLS is another tool that we are able to use to helpuse. Let them say whatever they want,its your life and only you can live it
