I typically brag about my support group, but last night it was just CRAZY! I felt like the only sane person in the room. Here are some examples of things people said just for laughs.
- I didn’t have surgery, but have to eat like I did to support my wife. (Don’t think it’s possible to eat like a bariatric patient with an entire stomach.)
- I don't know how to grocery shop now that we eat less food. (Maybe buy a smaller piece of salmon?)
- I cry when I see food on my plate, food commercials, and wish I never had surgery. (Really, you would rather be obese? Who on earth enjoys being fat? And how did you pass your psych evaluation?)
- I baked an entire cake, had one bite, and threw it out. (Now that’s just stupid. Either don’t bake the cake, feed it to your family, or maybe bring it to the office.)
- I had surgery 3 years ago and lost almost 200 pounds but have not bought a single new piece of clothing. (Don’t know how your pants stay up.)
- I have a new kitchen so have to cook. (How about your get creative with your protein and veggies?! We cook all the time.)
-I have a family and they have snacks. (You could eat the snacks and gain back all your weight, which is probably what’s going to happen.)
My husband (over dinner of marinated buffalo crock pot chicken breasts and roasted cauliflower) asks “Why do you go?” Good question! Buy the way, he dipped his chicken in blue cheese dressing. I did not, but I didn’t cry about it.
