Well I told my parents

I said ok I'll wait till everyone leaves and then i'll tell them. Well once everyone left a new wave of people came. One of them (a friend of my parents) just would not shut up. He went on and on and on talking for hours. Before we new it, it was midnight! I'm like come on man. Give me a break. I have to stay till everyone leaves so I can tell my parents. Well my father fell asleep on the couch while this guy was talking. Lol. FINALLY this guy leaves. So my mom is like ok tell me. So I say go wake up dad I want to talk to both of you. And and I told them. They were very calm about it. No big reaction for or against it. My dad seemed to know a little more about WLS than my mom. But long story short they were totally supportive. Of course my mom was like "you know its also very mental as well". Its just funny when people have these reactions where they don't realize you've been researching this for a long time. They know very little about it (other than maybe someone they know from work had gastric bypass) but they feel like they're telling me something I don't already know. *eye roll* This is why I'm only telling a few people. Because going through the whole speech and convincing them I've fully thought about and committed to this, everytime I tell someone, is a pain in the ass.

The cute part was that my dad was saying that he was interested in getting the lap band. I could tell he was a little bashful about it because he said it a half joking way. I told him hey if you wanna get lap band, do it. I will fully support him. He thinks he's too old. I told him no way! I don't know if he is disciplined enough to change his ways because he's so set in his ways at his age. But I hope that seeing me go through surgery and seeing my results inspires him to seriously consider WLS. I can't wait for my parents to be proud of me. I mean they're always proud of me but this is a big deal. I can't wait to be an example for my family :)


So thats it I told everyone I wanted to tell. I'm all set now :)
