Give People the Opportunity to Understand

Monday, October 5, 2009 by Traci Baker
Here is the last of my "Small Bites" taken from Katie Jay.

Perhaps you grow tired at times of explaining to others what you must do to maintain a healthy WLS lifestyle.  You fear that people will challenge or judge you on the choice you have made to have WLS.  Undoubtedly, there are people who will do that and sabotage your efforts to boot.  However, know that there are probably even more people who would be understanding and supportive if they only knew what you face each day. 

There’s no need to provide in-depth information to strangers or mere acquaintances, but a little honestly with others in your life could make your daily choices easier.  If you simply cannot attend that neighborhood party because you do not want to deal with the temptations, explain that.  Give people the opportunity to understand.
