In-Laws & Vacation

Feb 15, 2014

It was pointed out that I never mentioned if my in-laws noticed the weight loss and how all that went in Florida.

No one said anything about noticing I lost weight. I did end up telling them I had surgery because I started to feel like a jerk being super picky about what I was eating and how much I was eating. The first time I felt silly was my first meal in Florida. We went to Junkaroo's and I read over the menu to find some protein and the best I found not breaded was shrimp. I asked the waiter to make it just shrimp instead of being on a bed of rice. Of course It was brought to me with the rice because the waiter was a major tool, but we wont get into all that. So on top of my massive pile of rice was three pieces of shrimp. They were bigger at least and I would never have spent $16 on three pieces of shrimp but I figured it was enough for me. My husbands Aunt and Uncle were with us and they were pissed for me. For some reason sometimes shrimp doesn't sit well for me so after two pieces of shrimp I was in pain. I did not want to finish it but felt like it was a dead give away that something was up. Fat girl eating two pieces of shrimp and being full yeah right. They kept trying to give me their food and I kept trying to make up a reason for not wanting it and I finally just told those two about surgery. It was so much easier than having to keep denying food and feeling awkward about not eating and being fine with it. They were happy for me and had lots of questions. I told them I haven't told anyone else and would when I was ready.

I think a couple days passed of me saying could we get something non water, diet, and non carbonated to drink, I can't eat that too many carbs, I could use some high protein no to low carb snacks around here. We had rented a house on the beach and Blake and I flew there and they drove so we had no way to go to the store and felt stuck with what they bought. I felt a little blown off when asked if we could pick these things up and it was out of my control with no vehicle. I thought we would all go to the store as a group so I could get what I needed. Luckily I packed my own protein powder and some quest bars so I had something. One night they were planning lasagna for dinner and I said I couldn't eat it and they said what about all this and then finally settled on picking up some fish for me. I felt like such a jerk because I wasn't eating anything they bought and the only one being picky so I told them. They then said they had noticed I was thinner and had a lot of questions. I was relieved to not have to explain why I couldn't eat certain things and look silly being a fat girl eating a couple bites and being done. So the rest of the trip was pretty good except then they were being super caring asking if I could eat everything or if I needed something else. Here are some pictures from the trip.
