How to Deal with Haters



Recommended Posts

I just found this great blog post that has some ideas about how to deal with haters -- those negative people who like to tell you what they think.

http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2014/07/10/how-to-deal-with-haters

1) Understand that judgement is inevitable.

2) Consider the source. If you are getting criticized for your new lifestyle by somebody who is out of shape, unhappy, overweight, and generally miserable, it’s probably not worth your time and effort to worry about it!

3) Get them on board (if they are truly wanting to support you)

4) Consider how you spend your most valuable asset: time. We have a finite amount of time on this planet, and you have 100% control of how that time gets spent. Surround yourself with people that want you to be better.

5) Understand that you’re not alone.You can still have unhealthy friends and family members – just make sure you are ALSO spending time with people who are healthier and stronger than you too

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
