Hey everyone
I am so frustrated/angry with one of my friends right now. We have known each other for 9 years now, and even though we sometimes drift apart during moves and such (military family), we have always maintained a level of contact. I have been so proud of her this last year. She has lost over 100 pounds and is looking really terrific. She kept telling me all sorts of things she has done to lose the weight, and I have been really supportive of her and truly thrilled for her progress. Well, today it comes out through a mutual friend that she has had WLS and just didn't dare tell me. I feel... betrayed? I'm not sure exactly what I feel. I know I feel hurt and angry that she didn't trust me enough to share such a huge thing with me. It also stings a bit that she has made herself out to be such a saint, to the point where sometimes I have felt a bit put down by her. I understand that she had a lot going on physically, and WLS was evidently a good choice for her. She is a size 6 now, for heaven's sake! I don't know... I'm still happy for her, but since she still hasn't chosen to talk to me about this, and I'm not supposed to know... aaarrrggghhh!
2cute, you weren't preaching, darling. Those words came straight from your heart, and I thank you for them. I'll keep up the prayers for your sister and family. *HUGS*
Pat, I've had heel spurs before. The doctor had me do a few weeks of ultrasound therapy. It worked really well. That combined with really supportive shoes did wonders for me.
I've got to run! The family has plans tonight.
