This is a great opportunity to prove that you can do it with South Beach. Keep going and you'll show her how to accomplish weight loss the SAFE way. She's just trying to justify her choice.

Done correctly, GB is safe, and for a lot that get it done, a life saving process...

Dawn,

That is awful. I weigh only 4 lbs less than you and if someone

suggested that I have gastric bypas surgery, I would be mad and

insulted too! 18lbs loss is great and like you said, you were a carb

- o- holic (just like me I might add).

It really burns me up when people " offer " their advice when in fact

they just want to be nosy and pontificate to people. My advice is to

ignore them and pat yourself on the back for doing such a great job so

far.

Continue to post and get encouragement from the people on this board.

If you can limit your contact with the nosy busy body at work

(hi/bye, how are you type of thing with a smile on your face). You

don't need that type of person or people around to surround you with

negative energy.

Hope you have a better day

Wow, Dawn, that's awful. Was she doing this as a concerned friend or a

boss?

Don't let this get to you -- you've taken control and you're moving in the

right direction. As a nation we're all about the " quick fix " -- gimme a

pill or a " procedure " to fix this mess I've gotten myself into. You've

taken a far better path to get to your goal of weight-loss -- a HEALTHY

path.

Stay firm and don't allow yourself to be swayed from this course -- this IS

*THE* best way to go. You know it is, you've seen the positive results and

you can tell that it's working.

Perhaps this was a well-meaning co-worker. Perhaps it was someone in a

higher ranking position that sees potential and wants to help you realize

that potential. Show them confidence and a sense of self-worth by sticking

to your guns and doing it the hard way.

Losing weight the South Beach way is not an easy thing. It requires

commitment, dedication, willpower, and a form of patience that many lack

sorely. Determination, integrity, self-confidence, and an honesty with

one's self are also required.

Sound like the kinds of qualities you want in an employee?

Hang in there.

Dawn!! I feel so bad for you! How thoughtless and rude! I absolutely

agree with what others have been saying: stick with what you're

doing. Use this as incentive to keep with it for the long haul.

You'll have the right to feel superior by knowing you've developed

good eating for the rest of your life. Let's see where she is in 5

years. I used to work with a gal whom I would have loved to look

like. She's taller than me and solid but I never thought of her as

fat. I found out she weighed over 200 and I was stunned. People

handle weight differently. And, that's all really beside the point.

Even if she thought she was " doing it for your own good " (gag) it was

RUDE.

We're all upset for you. Believe me.

You've done fine - and you should be proud. We're pulling for you.

And some people are insensitve blobs themselves. You know that the South

Beach is working for you because you've lost weight. You know what you can

do. Keep your chin up and show her that you don't need a gastric bypass to

lose weight. The proof will be in the thinner you.

After reading the post of what that person

said to you I also have to say that GB is not all it’s cracked up to be….there

have been maybe people that over time do put on the weight again when they over

eat and stretch out everything which of course makes it weaker and it tears

also people have died from the procedure and many have gotten infections it’s

not uncommon….….so it’s not the band aid many think it is…..I

have a friend that did it after he tried everything else and he told me the

psych stuff he went through before they would approve him for surgery was

incredible….I have heard that from many people too….he had to be in

therapy before and after it was a big deal to make sure he could handle that I

also have a co worked that told me the same thing and she wasn’t in the

same state as my friend. I think that person said that to you out of jealousy

that you have gotten control of your life and she can’t……keep

up the great work and congratulations on the loss…!!!!!!!

she

lost the weight she went in to hospital to get the

a second surgery to remove skin.. She ended up

I congratulate you on your weight loss... and the

You are way ahead of her since she will most

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank everyone for their great support

and kind words of support. I'm feeling better today and have stayed

on track. I won't let those comments bother me and yes, I agree,

perhaps it was well-meaning or someone who saw potential but I'm still

not going to let all this bother me one way or another. I've had a

night and day to think about this and I'm moving on. Week 12 is next

week and I hope to take off another 2 lbs.

I'll be smaller than her in a year - just watch HAHA

Thanks again everyone!
