Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Cecilia- People are always trying to help, just look at it that she cared enough to approach you and tell you how she felt, that is more than maybe some people will do, she meant well it sounds like, but you know yourself and what is right for you, it would of shaken me too somewhat , but if you are secure with what you want to do, and our process and education in this is so involved and lengthy you are and infomed woman of what you want to do, and didnt god create all of us and maybe this surgery is a gift from god, that is the way i looked at it, an answer to my prayers............. keep your sunny side up Colleen Hunt wrote: Nobody knows how it is to be overweight until they have been.

Anyway a member decided she had to see me afterwards. She proceeded to tell me how upset she was that I was having this surgery and that there are other ways. DId I know what i was doing, did the doctors, yada yada yada. She also proceeded to tell me that it was not natural and and if it was a heart surgery osomething like that it would be ok but that god didnt make our bodies to do that with food. I bit my tongue and thanked her for her concern and left. I was hurt by her judgement and I felt like that was what it was. This is the first negative response I have recieved and it didnt feel good. I was so excited too, why do I let her words get to me. I need to calm down cause I feel like crying right now.Cecilia Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
