Sorta wedding-related vent

So as some of you know, I started WW in April in last year. I started it because of a cancer scare and decided that I was going to do all I could to control the health of my body, and just go for repeated doctor visits to make sure that anything NOT in my control would be kept in check.

When I started WW, I also started working out. I got engaged in December, and by then had gotten to the Lifetime point in WW.

So how come NOW people around me are all full of comments about how I'm working out so much 'because you're a bride-to-be'? Umm...no. I reached my effing goal weight before I even knew he was looking at engagement rings! I did this for MYSELF and MY HEALTH LAST FRIGGING YEAR.



And on an unrelated note, people think we're weird for wanting to go to Nova Scotia for the honeymoon. (Okay, yeah, we ARE weird...but still!)
FH and I aren't really beach people. While an all-inclusive resort would be nice, we'd probably be bored after a couple of days. And our wedding is in June - we've always been a fan of going somewhere warm when it's cold in NYC. Since the Caribbean is a short flight away, yeah, I could see us going there for maybe a 3-night kind of stay in the winter. But we love natural wonders and watching animals in their habitat...not that I have to justify that to ANYONE but really...people that have known me FOREVER seem shocked at this.

I'm just venting here about pretty much superficial issues. And I have my monthly visitor and the idiots in the deli made my coffee wrong this morning, so I'm sure THAT has a lot to do with this.

/end scene.

Nova Scotia is awesome. Don't listen to people. Congrats on reaching your goal!

About the WW... people are just jealous!! Whenever someone makes comments about you dieting and looking great, they are just jealous that they don't have the commitment that you do! Ugh I am in a bad mood too, so I wanna slap anyone who is annoying you!

Congrats on your weight loss and keeping your health in check!!

say that to them! when they say you're only doing it bc youre a bride to be, say 'well then how come I reached my goal weight BEFORE we were engaged? you're just jealous of my smokin hot bod biotch!'

and about the honeymoon thing.... tell 'em to s*ck it! do what you want they aren't going to be there so why do they care anyway?

OMG!!!!! first can I say-'end scene' is the cutest, funniest thing EVER!!!!

And...... people should really keep their two cents to themselves. And...... I don't know why people think that when we tell them something, we're really asking- 'hey, what do you think about this'? Sheesh!!!!

Everyone has a comment about everything... especially when its unsolicited... just let it go, if you are in a good place... dont let it get to you


as far as Canada... I would have gone to Vancouver for our HM... and waited till winter because im a huge Hockey fan... but FH really wanted to do the beach thing!!!

ugh ppl are so rude...don't listen to them!

i get that all the time about losing weight...'your on a wedding diet?' umm no i am trying to lose weight for myself bc i had gained weight in grad school and felt so unhealthy...ugh it drives me crazy bc they are almost implying i should be losing weight for the wedding.



and who cares what they say about your honeymoon...you and fh are the ones going not them! let them think its 'weird'...you guys will have a great time!

Unfortunately Kris, it kind of comes with the territory of being engaged and watching your weight both at the same time. I too lost my weight well before I got engaged, but I'm sure plenty of people at the gym think I'm going just because of the wedding, especially since I just joined a new gym two months ago.

But they obviously don't know you or what you've been through. Honestly, just tell them no, you're doing it for your health. That seems to shut people up. No one ever argues the health concern.


As for HM, what about a cruise to Alaska?????

Ugh....Bishes need to watch themselves.

Tell them all to shove it...they are just jealous of your hot bod and the fact that you are getting married and they are fat and ugly and alone

ok so I had the worst morning ever too (still having it actually)!
so tell me who is bothering u and I'll go psycho on them (I was in the army, so I know some dirty moves )

ppl will say anything, anytime, at any opportunity, esp when its non of their business. just facts of life, unfortunately.
by the way ur HM is such an awesome idea!!! I would love to do that if I was less lazy

by the way, next time someone mentions ur working out/WW just say 'yea so???? '
will work wonders! love being passive aggressive!

Mean people s*ck!!!! It's true, I think people are jealous when other people get their sh*t together... good for you for reaching your goal... that is WONDERFUL and you did it for you, not to wear a white gown for a day.

And as far as your honeymoon... it is YOUR honeymoon and you can go where everrrrr YOU want to go. Opinions are like a$$h***s, everybody's got one!!

Don't listen to them!!!!

They are definitely just jealous of you!

ughhh i hate when ppl see the need to give negative unwanted commetns!!!!

grrrrr

Thanks, everyone

I guess I never connected the whole 'weight loss/getting engaged' thing, because it would have never occured to me that anyone I knew who was losing weight before their wedding was doing so FOR their wedding. I don't know. I don't see anything wrong with doing that, either...I'm all for anything that is better for your health. I just don't really overanalyze stuff, or really care about what other people do.

To each his/her own!

The next time some jerk opens their mouth about the WW thing, I'm just going to REMIND them that I hit Lifetime before getting engaged and it was, in fact, due to a bad health scare.

As for the cruise to Alaska, Laura - I'd LOVE to do that and this is going to sound weird, but my parents have wanted to go on one for a couple of years now. Plans for that were postponed when my grandma got really ill, and with the wedding next year ($$$), they probably won't get to go until 2011. I'd actually feel really bad going there when I know that they want to go so badly. Eventually though, we'll get up there. (We're also saving for a trip to Bangladesh in 2011 for ourselves, so Nova Scotia is nice and close and we can get a good amount of time there on a decent budget).

Seriously............whats up w/ppl & their diarreha of the mouth???? Congrats to you for taking control & taking care of you!!!!
No matter what, even though I know its super annoying I would brush those ppl off & remind yourself why you did it!!!!!! And if you have ppl who are repeat offenders, then I'd tell them to stick where the 'sun don't shine'.

As for HM........congrats for choosing something you know you are going to enjoy. You & FH are going to have a sick time and have amazing memories & pictures. People are sometimes stoooopid!!!!!!

Dont let these situations frustrate you too much just keep doing your thing & remember PJ in 2 months!!!!!!

at the PJ comment!

You know, sometimes when people get on my last nerve, I just think to myself 'those mofos don't have tickets to see Pearl Jam, s ucks to be them!!!'

Utterly pathetic of me, I know.

78 days till the Halloween show, BTW.
(77 if you get the Friday tix!!!)




Edited because we're in preschool and S U C K S is a bad bad word.

i had something similar happen to me. i had lost 40 pounds before my engagement but right after i got engaged a relative came up to me and asked me if i lost the weight for FH or if i lost the weight because i knew i was getting engaged. i was so pissed!
