I swear. Just because people know about my surgery they feel like they have the right to be all up in my business!!
My parents are always drilling me about if I'm losing weight (why wouldn't i be? i have been for the past 6 months), if i'm exercising, and if so what i'm doing. and when i tell them, they're not happy with that answer. "wii fit isn't walking, its not the gym, its jutst walking in place" are you fucking serious??? you're fatter than me!! and what are you doing??? NOTHING. you've never even played wii fit. you don't even know what it entails you jerk. i get a workout from that, my arms get sore from that. so fuck you. why are you all up in my grill? jesus christ! worry about YOURSELF!! i don't ask you what you're doing. or why YOU're not losing weight. jesus. you didn't pay for my surgery. you don't own my new stomach. i don't have to report to you.
and thats just my parents.
i have family members and such putting their 2 cents in too. i feel like because i told people about my surgery i somehow opened the door for everyone to be concerned with every single thing i do. ummm..why is everyone so concerned about me? maybe you should worry about yourselves. i'm focusing on improving MYSELF. maybe you guys should do the same. stop worrying about me and worry about yourself. you don't see me all up in your business. none of you are perfect. maybe when you're all done improving yourselves and making yourselves perfect maybe then you can say something to me.
and i wanna tell people this but i don't know how without offending them. i tried telling my parents something. but they countered with "but we just care about you. look. if you want to know whether i'm still losing, look at me. you can tell. and thats it. its like they're waiting for me to fail and so they keep asking and checking and checking. and its pissing me the fuck off. you're not there everyday. you don't see how i live my life. if you'd pay attention you'd see i eat great, i'm doing great. but i don't feel the need to explain myself or answer your surveys about every little thing i'm doing. its insulting.
lay off. if you want to know what i'm doing, pay attention. spend more time with me. observe. but stop it with the fucking questions and the fucking opinions that no one asked you for.

Damn girl, you are on fire!!! Sounds like something I would say.
ReplyDeleteI have the same crap happen at work all of the time. Certain nameless co-workers know I have the band and are constantly "reviewing" every move I make, every bite I take, etc. They constantly ask me what are you eating? Are you still losing weight? What's your goal? Do you exercise? What kind of protein do you eat? Is that good? What all can you eat?
I am like are you gonna take your ass and go get the band or something? Probably not! Then shut the hell up and mind ya business!
I'm feel ya girl!
If they have weight issues too, they may well be secretly waiting for you to fail. Then they can say, "See! Nothing works so we don't need to do anything.". I hope you find a way to tell them that for now you'd appreciate it if they would keep their opinions to themselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Amanda... I think many people who didn't even think about this option whether it be Band or sleeve... Are pretty much waiting for us to fail because the internet really talks more about Bariatric surgeries and people gaining all the weight back than the success stories. I guess Americans love a good failure. I wish that I didn't tell people about getting the band sometimes but I know that people would be asking me how I'm losing weight constantly, and I expected that I would losing it faster than when I did it in the past on my own, but I haven't been losing it that fast... but I am keeping it off, which is the Great thing about the band.
ReplyDeleteWell I have my opinion for this post and I hope I dont offend you or any one and if I do I apologize bc thats not my intention. Well after reading this post I dont think they want you to fail I think one: they care about you and they know how much you pay for ur surgery and how important that is for you that they dont want you to fall of track n fail n 2nd it also can be that they dont know lots about the subject and they dont know what to expect an example Im going to be 100% real when i first find ur blog and u was talking about ur surgery i was like wow great decision then at first when u start talking about how much u was loosing n stuff to me i was like wow she spend all this money when to all this pain n she still not loosing alot of weight like when u talk about ur dr telling u u need it to loose more i agree with her at that time but what happened a friend decide to do it also so i start reading online and learning about the surgery and i learn alot. before i though u get the surgery n if u 280 you will be 140 en 2 month (ignorant i know)when the true is not like that it take time and work just like if u didnt have the surgery so if i was u dont get mad take it as they are ignorant about the subject and try to teach them about the subject give them website or pamphlet so they can learn about ur surgery and how it work ;0) n dont let them get 2 u... you are looking great and just with that they should notice ;0) good luck
