My Parents....

I told my Mom & Dad today about my plans to have the surgery and they didn't seem really interested. I'm not sure if it is because they don't understand the surgery or the need for it. I don't think they understand that I need to loose more that 150 pounds. Who knows what will happen as far as their support. I don't think they have seen me struggle since I haven't lived with them since college.

I tried to explain that I needed to loose weight to be healthy and be able to have children. My Mother called a little while ago and asked if we had been to a fertility specialist before I went and did this as weight might not be the reason we haven't had children yet. She is fixating on the fact that I haven't gotten pregnant yet, not the fact that I am probably not healthy enough to conceive or have a healthy pregnancy without complications. Arrrrgh!!!
