"The easy way out"

[LKG 6]

I haven't been told that I took the easy way out yet. I get the looks from some family members instead. They will not come out and say it but their look says it all. I just want to tell them, I wasn't given the genes to be tall and skinny. I was given the genes to be short and chunky. I am tired of the excess weight and if this is the only way, so be it. People is public that have asked me are really supportive. Some family members need to learn it.

The hardest thing that I've ever done. And the bravest! Also the most effective. People who criticize are uninformed and probably can't walk a mile in our shoes! That's it in a nutshell!

My hubs told me having this surgery was courageous an brave...he's my number 1 support! Wls is in no way easy it's hard as he'll! I was sent by 2 specialist I have hashis an a humptein other diseases diabetes as of latest...I had to eat 400 cal to even lose a pd! I was hungry so I ate till I was full...this was best route for me to have a successful chance of getting weight off an the insulin resistance corrected..I kept going up n up n up in weight. ..I hit 260 an I told myself I'm not living like this no more! An if someone yells me differently it's going to be medically necessary! End of subject. ..I didn't tell all before hand didn't need to have everyone's input an critical comments. ..I'm so thrilled with what I did..have great drs an feeling so much better already! In 28 days I have lost 38 pds...it's been tuff but food is not going to rule my life! I'm going to eat to live...I was 15 plus yrs thinking about wls. ..my drs pushed me that way it was my time! 50 is going to b fabulous! ! (((Hugs)))
