OMG!!!!!! I instantly wanted to scream..WHO'S WE?!?!?! you mean ME..I'm the one who watched EVERY bite I stuck in my mouth.I'M the one who cried hundreds of times because I was wanting to eat something that wasnt good for me but had to pass up so I could lose the weight..I'm the one who struggled with will power! NOT YOU! YOU had someone else do it for you! YOU chose to have surgery because you couldnt do it by yourself! and now your sitting here with me saying "how hard you worked?" ummmmmmm.NO I don't think so!!!.. ohhh my gosh I'm steaming! I comepletely understand about decideing to have GB surgery, but her little quip send me over the edge. Thank you for allowing me to vent. (I can't belive im so mad I'm crying..now I'm a Crybaby on top of it all!
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight please let me add,that I completley understand anyone wo has GB surgery. Honest I do. Loseing weight is soo very very hard, in fact sometimes impossible. But this ONE female who gets on my nerves anyways just had to go and BLURT that out the way that she did.I think thats what made me feel the way I did/do.

My mom and sister had the GBS, and they're all skinny now, and I can't seem to lose weight. I struggled with anorexia in my early teens, and now I can't get past that feeling that if I start watching what I eat, it may become obsessive and I'll do it again. I feel you, LS, it's hard to do it right.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Thank you XppX.

She'd say oh man, I'm sooo stuffed! and look to me for sympathy. That was the kicker with that. I'msorry to whine,but I guess I'm emotional today and it got the better of me. (((( XPPX)))) Thank you girlie!

She took a shortcut that may backfire on her some day, you changed your life style and your eating habits. Don't allow this person's misguided beliefs and insensitivity diminish your tremendous accomplishment. I don't know anyone who could have done as well as you have. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone...That must be why I always call you "The Incomparable Lady Starlight" ; ) {{{{{{Lady Starlight}}}}}}
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I totally understand! When I went on my big diet several years back (which by the way I also did the hard/right way) it was really really rough. Especially in the beginning. Comments like hers would have made me want to come unglued too! It is so difficult. Not to say that GB isn't. My dad had to have that done (for reasons having nothing to do with his weight) and I know it was tough on him. Maybe for that reason, having watched him go through that, I might have been a little more sympathetic. BUT...that does not discount all the sacrifices you had to make. Giving up my exercise routine was the beginning of the end for me. I HAVE to start back in and go through it all over again and I am not looking forward to that. But the end result is certainly worth it. Why does that bring no comfort now?! Maybe this other lady was looking for a little sympathy. Not exactly the way to go about it though. It had to take you a long long time and a lot of "no" 's to get where you did. Probably a lot of exercise too. Then someone else comes in and practically overnight loses all this weight. They have to go through their own suffering but by comparison it seems so short lived. It took so long for you. Go ahead and be a crybaby. We won't think it's a bad thing. We love you! Add my hugs in there with all the rest...((((Lady Starlight))))

I hope that everyone here knows me well enough to know that I really do care about everyone here and that I would not do that. Shiva, Tinkeroon... I am so sorry about your kitty. Lady Starlight, YOU know YOU worked hard! I agree with the Shiva's post (and Tinkeroon's and xPPx's too!) Miss Candice. You have me worried about you with your post. I hope you are alright and that things got better at work. Sure wish we'd here from you... Sherrytodd, I'm so sorry you had to cancel your trip. That is such a bummer. I hope you are able to reschedule sooner rather than later. (and I hope that whatever it was that made you say it was the worst day of your life is over and done with and behind you now.) xPPx, Deb and Kyle, and everyone who has been feeling sick, I hope y'all are feeling better. What a time! And I hope that Calgon was able to take ReadingMom away! (and that she'll be back and feeling refreshed soon. )

Originally Posted By chickendumpling I would think the fact that she is able to breath is a very good sign! I would think that looking OwenWilsonish is not too much fun for her. I "broke" my nose a bunch of times when I was a kid. Really doesn't look too bad now. So there is hope!
