Seiriously annoyed!!

Hi Jennifer, Sorry to hear she is being so ridiculous. She could have been a great source of support for you going through it together. She is definintely not ready and should not have been banded with her attitude and emotional eating illness until she had therapy and was stable enough to handle the process. She is going to do herself harm that may not be able to be fixed. Good Luck to you and it is smart for you to keep your distance at this point.

This obviously sounds like a person who doesn't care about the surgery, the journey or her health. There is really no reason to try to talk sense to someone like that. I've found, that by trying to reason with idiots like that, the advice you give usually turns into even more of a reason to do what they shouldn't.

Only she will realize what she's doing and stop the behavior, if ever. I also think you should tell the doctor about her eating, it really could make a difference! She may hate you for it, but would eventually be grateful if that call leads her down the right path.

Just focus on your success and don't even let her into your mind. You have enough to deal with on your own journey. Congrats on your amazing success, you're almost there!!

ps..I also live for the Mouse! We go to WDW 2X annually, and are Vacation Club members. Every dollar of expendable income goes to Disney, and I LOVE IT!! :biggrin:

wow... she's one of those that think that they don't need to change their way of eating, they will just eat less.. that doesn't work.. this band is a tool to me... and like an alcoholic in AA, I have to work this program EVERY day of my life for the rest of my life.. I hope she get's her act together for the sake of her and her children.

ummm....

Have her stop by here.

I'll have a chat with her.

The band is NOT a tool. SHE'S a Tool.

head hunter i would happily turn her over to you at this point! Just as long as I get to hear what you say. You are always so diplomatic and polite. lol

Your sister's friend needs intensive therapy. She has a very serious food addition that the lapband won't cure...

Jennifer,

Your friend obviously has issues. I can understand your frustration with her blatant disregard for her own well being. Your friend needs some serious help. Her food problems are obviously far worse then any of ours.

I feel sorry for her and her children since she will most likely end up with a shorter life span if she doesn't recognize that she has a problem and seek some help.
