Dear anonoymous,
Well back in June I wrote a diddy about myself and some pictures..as I have never replied to the rude comment I feel I will do that now. If you try to go back and read what that precious anonymous person wrote you won't find it..as soon as I read it I deleted it. I did not even tell my hubby about it. It hurt me which I am sure that is what that person wanted. I find it intersting that the person would not say who they are maybe a coward?! I mean I am up to disscuss anything with anyone. I have never been close minded or afraid of anyones opinion....I mean heck I even wrote on my personal blog how I felt about abortion oops I mean murder. I thought for sure people would have their opinion about that. But ,no whoever decided to tear me down because I had weight loss surgery and opted to do the EASY thing. Easy?! Adjustable gastric banding is not easy! It has changed every aspect of my life and I mean everything. I have struggled with my weight pretty much all my life. I was always the chubby girl,then as I got older and became the fat girl. I have tried a lot of different diets. At one point my Freshman year of high school I felt good about myself. I had been going to weight watchers off and on and had lost 60 pounds and had kept it off..through my high school years the weight came back slowly but surely. After high school I went the diet pill route which worked only if you took the pills. When I didn't wow was I hungry other wise I walked around on my drug high from the pondimin and redux..which now the FDA says that redux was bad for you..what! But no heart damage from that thankfully. I married troy and after 3 miscarrages and being very depressed food became my way of coping . Just to clear things up eating doesn't take away pain..darn it!! Trust me I wish that I didn't have to have my bionic parts in me but hey I made a decision to live! Is that wrong? I don't think so....If that person was upset because of jealously then I am sorry for you. This has not been an easy road. There are somedays that I wish that I could have just controlled myself but I never felt full..but now I can eat and feel full. It's not like I am going to be walking around a tooth pick. That's not the goal. The goal is to be a good weight for me and to be healthy to live my life as God has intened it to be... So anonoymous if you ever want to talk like a real woman or man to me about my choice please come back...I'm ready for you..My new motto is" hey this is my blog if you don't like it then CLICK OFF" But for everyone else thank you for the bottom of my heart for your support !! To the rest of you unhappy people fix yourself before you tear down others..I realize that it is easier to tear others up if you don't like yourself so go work on yourself look into your heart if you have one and fix it because it it sad and very mean. I feel better..had to get that off my chest. As you can see I have trouble letting go and not carrying around things for months..But I feel better it was a internet therapy session..hehe!
Just think.....
You're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you
the person you are.
He compares you to no one else--
you are one of a kind.
You are lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.

Being happy doesn't mean everything 's perfect.
It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.

Good for you!!! I have had several friends who have done the weight loss surgery and they all have said it's extremely difficult. I've seen some of them struggle and I applaud them (and you) for being willing to do go to that length to be healthy.
As far as Anonymous goes, you know I've had my fair share of them too... cowards. If they're going to insult people they need to grow some guts and sign their name.
Keep on keeping on! Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter!
You KNOW that we have ALWAYS loved and supported you in all you do! I have known you for 13 years, and I know the battles you have faced! You also forgot to mention your heart and blood pressure issues related to your weight! Some people just don't understand the life and death decisions that people make. I like your blog quote about, if you don't like it, click off! Also Jesus said it best when he said, ""Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." - Matthew 7:1-5
We love you!
Girl you are better than any anonymous person! People can be so cruel! Down right heartless.
Kudos to you and the decisions you have made for YOUR life and for striving to be the person that God wants you to be.
I think your great and have never even met you in person. But one day hopefully that will change!
Love ya
Andrea
Ha! Love the motto...I am so with you on that. ;o}
As far as the surgery goes-you have to do what is best for you. If that is surgery, then so be it. I really don't see how they(anonymous) could think that would be an easy way out~not exactly an educated statement if you ask me ;o}
Anyway~Try not to let it bother you too much. There are always gonna be dumb people(did I say that?) who say & do dumb things (there I go again!) to just be hurtful.
Hil,
That took a lot of guts! You go girl, you should never let anyone make you feel less than. I totally know how it is to use food as comfort after you lose a child. You eat because you feel bad then feel bad because you eat. SO many women can identify with you! I personaly think your story is a testimony. I love you and your children! Your family has such a sweet spirit.
hi there! i just started reading but love your heart and what you have shared already!
You go girl! :)
I have several friends that chose gastric bypass/banding and it has changed their lives-for the better might I add. Even though we are just blogger friends and I've never met you in person (that's so sad--maybe someday?) I still support you--from one Christian woman to another. Addressing ugly anonymous comments is so hard, but I think you did it beautifully!
Standing ovation!!!
I have been meaning to comment for some time now and I just "got busy", but I wanted to tell you "I think you ROCK"! I have no idea who anonymous was, is, nor do I care! I can only pray that they never walk in our shoes nor face our trials only to be confronted by someone as heartless as they have shown themselves to be! I am proud of your decision for your health AND more so for standing your ground (no matter how hurt you were) against the anonymous "poo poo"head that left you such unkind words! You got gumption girl!! HUGE KUDDOS and another standing ovation!!HUGS,
Cyn
P.S. Got Lantas card and picture yesterday! Tell her THANK YOU !!!
