Sez
has started again!!
I have been thinking.... hard for me, I know!
How and when did you all broach LL with your nearest and dearest? Of course, my OH and children knew form the outset, but apart from my work colleagues and one close friend I told no-one about my plans. I suppose that I was assuming that I knew what they were all going to say..but not to my face!(Oh, Sarah is on yet another diet, bet that wont work either....that type of thing!) I particularly did not want my inlaws to know. MIL ( & OH's sister) are very money orientated (tight in other words) and just would not understand neither the concept of a VLCD nor the cost of LL. I expressly asked OH not to tell anyone, but was utterly heartbroken when, over a few weeks, I found out not only had he told his brothers wife "in confidence" but gradually spilled the beans to all of them! My SIL then proceeded to tell me how ill this would make me etc etc.
My dad did not even notice, even after a 3 stone loss, until I HAD to tell him, after an invite to an Easter Sunday carvery lunch. He has been so supportive since and i thrilled to bits about that! (My late Mum had Type 1 diabetes, and they both worried a lot about my weight.)
The one I am most fed up with is my sister. We have a volatile relationship at the best of times but although I know OH also told her (!!! so much for secrets huh!) she has said absolutely nothing! She is 6 foot tall, lucky b***h, and has always been on the chunky side, to say the least. She has not been obese, as I am, but certainly not a skinny pin. Oh thinks she may be jealous, as he thinks she cannot failed to have noticed the 3 stone loss. His recent comment was "Just imagine, I reckon you will be much thinner than her before long!!" I am really looking forward to that day, believe me!
Anyway, sorry to have rambled on a lot. Just wanted to chat, and ask questions, as usual!
Taking my ironing board into the garden now, as I HATE that job, and a bit of sunshine makes it so much easier!!
Have a lovely afternoon all!:wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:
