RANDOM RANTING pt 2

why is it that my "friends" ; the very same people who are supposed to be in my corner during all of my lifestyle changes, are the main people trying to discourage me or trying to change my mind about WLS... first of all, these few have NEVER BEEN BIG, and they damn sure didn't have to grow up heavy for 10 + years...so when they say "just change your diet and exercise" like thats gonna get my fat ass on somebody's track and run miles (HELLO IF I COULD DO IT ON MY OWN, DO YOU THINK I WOULD BE HAVING MY STOMACH ALL CHOPPED AND SCREWED?) , or my favorite "you're cute this size, you'll be funny looking smaller"...yeah the diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease that runs in BOTH sides of my family is real cute...i'm no longer content with being the funny, witty, and quick big girl, the girl with "such a pretty face", or the timid, demur doormat...they need to get with it or get lost...its time for me to discover who's really rooting for me to be healthy and who isn't...
