Awkward Moments

 

 

YOU know the times.  When someone asks you, "have you lost weight? YOU look like you have."  But truthfully you've gained weight...like twenty pounds.  How could you look like you have lost when you've gained?  How long has it been since you last seen this person?  Are they blind, nice or mean?

But what do you say? Lie and say yes?  Tell the truth and hold on for that awkward silence?

I personally tell people no I've gained, but the person usually saying so is my mother. *awkward?*

What do you say when someone thinks you have lost weight but really you haven't or even worse you have gained?  Let me know in the comments.




Personal update:  I haven't been writing on here for like a hundred and two reasons that I'm not getting into because they are all excuses.  Mainly I gained weight this summer, like twenty or thirty pounds.  I'm down four as of this morning but I don't know why because aside from walking a bit I haven't done much to lose weight.  But I'm glad that my incline in weight has faltered. 

And as for losing the weight on my own I've come to the realization that I can't, not with the amounts of prescriptions I'm on that I can't not be on.  They increase appetite and make you tired.  I was on worse ones when I got to this weight and beyond so the decrease in those has helped a lot in my weight loss but I am still on them.  And I will never be off of them.  So I'm going back to a surgeon and hopefully he/she will approve me for weight loss surgery.  I still have no idea when the date for the initial appointment will be so this is a long way off in the future.  In the meantime I plan to continue trying to lose the weight on my own. 

It's getting more difficult as the pains in my body have increased.  Exercise is next to impossible but walking seems to be improving.  I tried yoga in the summer and almost died afterwards from muscle tension...isn't it supposed to relax you??  What are your suggestions for low impact exercises that don't leave you in huge amounts of pain?  Again let me know in the comments and I will try and write again in the next few days :)  Let's see if I can!
