To Tell or Not to Tell?

[MississippiQueen 48]

My husband & children may be the only ones I tell about my trip to Mexico because I have some VERY NEGATIVELY OPINIONATED family members and co-workers. I dont want to hear their remarks: why didnt you just cut out your sweets & exercise to lose weight? think of what you couldve done with that money!! I can just hear it all! Did you guys tell everyone or was your procedure a secret?

I have told people and have received a mixed bag of comments.same thing happened when I had my hysterectomy last year.stuff like oh you won't be a mommy again. Mind you my daughter was 20 at the time. And people giving me the no more babies for you looks.

This time around I'm really not as concerned about the comments, not that I was about the hysterectomy comments. It's my body, my life No one has to deal with the long list of health problems including the knees that go out, having to wear a sleep apnea mask every night no matter where I go, etc but me. I've made this decision for a healthier me and don't care what people think.

I have had weightloss surgery before 2009 I was banded. I only tell certain people because unless they are severly obese they just don't understand. All of us have will power to some extent but when no matter what you do you are still hungry, it gets frustrating. I even worked out like crazy and did P90X for a month to lose some weight and nothing was really happening. I say just feel it out with people and maybe only tell a few close friends that arent gossipers to spread it around to the negative people. Although with you losing so much weight so fast they will begin to wonder whats up. Hoped I helped some.
