in Introduce Yourself
My sister in law sent me a nice little message on facebook last night that made me want to rip her throat out and then cry. "You know that when people have their gallbladders taken out, they tend to gain a lot of weight. You might want to look into taking an enzyme pill. Just a thought..."

At 25, I'm a stay at home mom of 3 and I have an amazing husband. I'm 5'0 and weigh about 180...give or take a few pounds. Yes..it's time. The weight needs to come off. And after that message, I'm more determined than ever to lose this weight and keep it off for good. Oh how I miss my pre-baby weight of 124 and a size 6. I want to feel better and I want to do it for myself, my husband but mostly for my kids.

I'm so glad to finally be here and doing this.

    Ummmm for her information. That is not true! excessive eating and poor diet/weight management make them fat.....so she needs to shut her pie hole! I had my gallbladder out in 09' and yea i gained weight but that's because i didnt watch what i ate!

    you know i've heard the completely opposite. I have 5 friends who all had their gallbladders removed. one lost 30lbs, one lost 15. none of them gained any weight!

    good luck!

    First of all, welcome! Second of all, what an *kitten*! I hope you let her know how that made you feel. Can't believe someone would have the nerve to do that much less family. So sorry that happened to you. Feel free to add me for any support you may need. Good luck on your journey.

    Well welcome! Just to make you feel better you've already taken the hardest step! Getting yourself to the point where you want to make a change and actually go through with it is pretty difficult! If you want you can add me as a friend! I am new here too! And it has taken me about 2 years of unhappiness to get myself here! BTW my name is Keagan!

    make sure you do it for yourself first and everyone else is secondary.

    keep looking forward and you'll make it happen.

    good luck! :drinker:

    I'm sure down the road you'll thank this person for finally pushing you over the edge to making yourself the person you want to be, however...well, can I just say props to you for not ripping her throat out. I don't know that I could have been kind. :)

    Welcome to MFP...the people here are AMAZING!

    Don't listen to her! Use what she said as motivation to show her what you're made of!

    Do it for yourself first! You can do it! But if its motivation, you can keep thinking in your head "I'll show her......" welcome, by the way!

    how RUDE of her to say such evil things. It is one thing to be concerned, but a whole different story to be so blatantly rude. I mean, I am all for honesty, but wow...You do this for you, to make you feel good about yourself, sweetie.

    First of all, that was a little tactless. It did, however, motivate you, so it's a good thing. You've come to the right place since you'll find lots of help and support here. Feel free to friend me if you would like. Welcome, and I wish you lots of success.

    Was it her intent to insult you or was she just trying to help? I would look at her intentions not her words.

    Were did she get her PhD specializing in weight gain after gallbladder removal? Should shove your gallbladder down her throat once removed.
    Whooosaahhh .....sorry for the violence.
    Look, You are headed in the right direction for change, and your doing it for all the right reasons and she just gave you added motivation! You can accomplish ANYTHING you set your mind to do!

    Please tell me that your sister-in-law is a fatty?! (I know everyone else is thinking it!)

    Forget her and yea, you can do this. But you've got to forget about her stupid remarks. It's awesome that you've realized for YOU that it is time. That's kind of how it was for me. I had been so happy and content with my fat (LOL) that I didn't even realize how I was starting to look and sometimes even feel -healthwise.

    My MFP profile reflects that I have lost 8 pounds but it has really been more like 27 and that's after a whopping 1 1/2 years. The road has been rocky for me and I know that I have so far to go but like you said, "it's just time."

    Join me? Help me? *friend request coming your way!* :D

    Be a duck and let her comments roll off your back. Keep focusing on the positive-your husband, kids, and how good you are going to feel when you reach your goals. Remember to take it one day at a time and you will get there. You have a lot of people here rooting for you.
