I think this subject is a little sensitive, and I certainly don't want to offend anyone....
But I gotta know. Do you proudly tell everyone that you had surgery and embrace it? Or do you tell people that you've made lifestyle chages and started excercising? (which is also very true)
I was at a family function over the weekend that reunited me with lots of people who I haven't seen in a year or so. Of course, the "you look wonderful!"s came out and it was all very flattering... but then it was also very uncomfortable, oddly enough.
I found myself thinking 'did my mother tell all these people that I had surgery? Is that why they're saying this to me?' And why do I feel guilty, like I don't deserve their compliments.. because i had surgery? I'm not even sure that is what I'm feeling, I just know that I felt uncomfotable and I'm trying to sort out my feelings as to WHY...
Or maybe nobody cared, and they were just being nice... ugh ~ I'm so torn on how I feel.But at the time, I felt like I should purge myself of my guilty little secret.
What do you tell people? Does everyone that you work with know? All your friends and family? I need input!
