You're very very pretty. I swear to god, when you talk you look JUST like jessica simpson [except not as stupid] But she's beautiful. Idk if it's just me, but i swear sometimes when you say somethings, i am just like JESSICA! Like the word "person" lol
I'am at my sixth month anniversery and people react to me the same way its weird I dont like being asked exactly how much weight I've lost its such a high number then I feel like they are thinking why the hell doesnt she look thinner? ya know I also dont like people saying they dont recignize me either its like your achivment arent your own
Just be happy for you...and it is fake dont worry about it..you just be you and not worry about anyone else..forget them all they dont understand because they didnt go through it.
In a way Im thinking its a way of them to approach you and find out about your weight loss but dont really know just how to go about it. So they seem to come off pretty petty and rude. ... does that make sense at all?
I know exactly what you mean. I've lost about 33 pounds, which would be a substantial weight loss for a slightly overweight person, but on me...c'mon! I'm still very much fat.
I also can't stand when people watch me eat, and ask me, "Can you eat that?" My answer: "Why don't you watch and find out?"
Then again, most people DON'T notice that I've lost weight, probably because the last time they might have seen me in summer clothes, I WAS this weight, lol!
hey you! how are you?..thats a good one..they should sit and watch and maybe even take a picture because it will last longer..i cant stand that as well..
Check out your sexy lips! I think people don't really know how to react to us...we've done something they can't really relate to. I think they feel like they have to say something because they're feeling insecure and want some sort of gratification. Most people have little to no clue about WLS and what it's about. I think it makes them uncomfortable for some reason.
Thank You all so much! I just needed to vent..its hard and confusing and I appreciate all of your support..This is such a crazy time for all of us..and we will all get through it together..its a great journey and I couldnt be happier to be on it..I also couldnt think of better people to be on it with..I love you all and I am inspired by all of you..truly
Hey Cora ~ I know exactly how you feel...I am in the same boat. I have a mixture of emotions from peoples reactions. It is really frustrating...just wanted to let you know...you are not alone sister!! Take care ~ Chris
You know, people can be really dumb sometimes! Maybe they truly don't know how to act or don't know what they should do. You've made a huge change in your life and maybe they are insecure in their own selves. You look beautiful!
Hey Cora! I just finished reading your message and I have to say...i totally understand what you mean about feeling connected! I do too! After reading your message I came to see who you were...your awesome! I think if me and you l;ived closer we would topttaly be good friends! Thanks for caring and hope to getb to know you better too!
OMG. I totally hear you, and it only get worse! I think though that eventually it has to stop.... people will get used to the smaller us and the comments will stop. keep your chin up Cora! You are beautiful!
It's not you. Genuine vs. insincere. I would much rather have honest questions as opposed to overblown drama and assumptions. You are great; your head is clearly in the right place. Good luck - don't let the idiots and a-holes get you down :)
You know, it's funny because I'm going through a similar thing right now. When people tell me they can see the weight loss, I always assume they're "just being nice" and don't really mean it. One of my friends yelled at me for that, though. I think it's just that things are changing SO rapidly for us, we don't have enough time to adjust emotionally. I would assume everyone is trying to be nice and complimentary...they just may not always be "smart" about how they say it. :)
Many well meaning people stick their foot in it! I actually shrank down to a size 14 in my 20s (and regained it) and people drove me crazy with their comments, like I must have been a dog before. Most people just don't know what or how to say a compliment, and I was very sensitive. Don't let it get to you. You are a lovely and strong person. :) Joan
I think ppl are idiots when it comes to wls or weight loss in general. Everyone wants to talk about how you are doing after wls. It feels like they are looking for you to mess up. It ticks me off. See you got me on my soapbox, Cora! lol :) I totally feel you.
ur sooo pretty!
