MY Mother Said...........

Infaith · April 5, 2005

Hi Tina,

I am fortunate that I have a supportive mom for my lapband (she cried with happiness when I told her I made the decision to get one...she has been so worried about my health). BUT a dear young friend of mine had a lot of questions and didn't understand. He considers me a very strong person and I guess I am in a lot of ways, but I explained to him that it took me a very long time (years in fact) to ask for this kind of help. After 20 years of being obese, I had to humble myself that I couldn't do this without major help....for me it was my band and I am so thankful for it. Wish you all the best. It's so hard when it's out parents, isn't it?

Vinesqueen, Our Mothers must have used the same parenting book. lol Parenting 101 on How To Make Kids Fell This Small.

When I was young I wanted to go to Art School, she said "You can't go to art school, we have no money" I said good then maybe I'll get some free money. But she didn't hear that, selective hearing, Just a couple yrs ago I wanted to go to cooking school again she" you can't go, your to messy" because I didn't clean as I cooked. I get a good laugh out of it now. Did you know they have a MESS TEST to get into cooking school????LOL Whatever !!

Next time I will nod my head and say yes, o.k nod, smile, nod , right, right, nod, o.k, smile o.k now bye bye.

Everyones advice, word of wisdom are so appreciated, I really need to hear them. AAHHH !! I said the word need, that was hard.
