Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I just tell people, when they question why I want to loose more weight, or comment that I'm getting " too skinny " (?), that I'm just trying to GET HEALTY!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Hi Sandi H I feel the same way its a health thing, Although sometimes now i find myself looking at someone in a store and saying, now in a year or so, maybe i will look about that size, and sometimes i say to my husband, maybe in a year i might be that size,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Its a strange feeling because i cant imagine my face or self in a body of these other sized women......................... It is all about the health for me diabetes just set in and high blood pressure, and i am thinking how nice it will be to diminish or get rid of those diagnosis', yet sometimes when i get to thinking or daydreaming, i wonder, god i have absolutely no butt whatsoever now, what is going to do after i loose the weight, and how small will my boobs get, all the what ifs and wonders of it all.,.................................................

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I like what you said, i think you are right, i think that sometimes people dont know what to say and people dont think sometimes before they speak, sometimes i think i just think too much about things in general and tend to make more out of it than there was, but what you said is something to also weigh out glad your doing better from your reconstructive surgery and sounds like you can use your treadmill again, thats great, i am so behind on posts, so many hours worked this week and not enough time to read everything in here colleen Diane Duenas wrote: I get that alot, especially at work. I honestly think the women are trying to be funny but it does come across as a kinda bursting my bubble kind of thing. At first I actually felt guilty for losing more than them!! Weird. I just had reconstructive surgery on Sept 1 and on the way home from one of my post op appts I stopped in to say hello to everyone, and the office coordinator said " jokingly" hey you cant come in here, only fat people are allowed in here. You dont belong in here anymore. I think she meant it as a compliment, but she is always telling me I weigh less than her, but then she also tells me she is inspired by me , that she could never have done what Ive done. So I dont think its always said with rudeness in mind. Some people just dont know how to express compliments without feeling bad about their own situation.> has anyone in the group had a negative response from your weight loss....I > had a friend or someone I thought was a friend come up to me at a bar-b-q we > were having for work..and said " now now now dont loose too much more weight..or > you will weigh less then I do" and I smiled and laughed as I walked away..as > not to say something nasty to her?? doesn anyone else find this completely > rude????
