Thumbs down Ashamed...didn't speak up

Hey guys,

I went to craker barrel yesterday morning , met one of my husbands friends who had a lay over in Ft.Myers.
The guy is in law enforcement and flies on airplanes.Well he makes the comment,"this lady sitting next to me was very large,I am sure she wants that gastric bypass thing,She needs it"
I just smiled...everyone else at the table knew I had the surgery.I was surprised by my reaction.I didn't say anything.The topic just changed.

I felt embarrassed.I don't know why.I guess I have not come full circle with my emotions .Sometimes I talk about it...other times...like it never happened.

I should have said,"I was that 300lbs woman 8 months ago...."
But didn't.Maybe because it was a man?Hmmmmm

Just wanted to post and read about simular situations,

Van
