When I told my mother about my surgery, she told me I was being stupid. I watched my father struggle for years on Weight Watchers. He would measure out Grape Nuts or some other cereal in his little bowl and scale. He would lose a little then end up gaining it all back and usually more. My mother mostly just maintained her weight even though we were all on the heavy side it never stopped the unhealthy cooking, or fast food trips when time was short.
Needless to say I haven't spoken to my parents much in recent years. The only contact we have is when I call them to let them know how the kids are and such. The lack of contact gets to me, but I have to do what is best for my wife and kids, and with them choosing to have contact with us only when I initiate it, there is not much I can do about it I suppose.
Guess I'll fill them in when I call on Wednesday for Christmas.
Thanks for listening to my rambling.
Dennis
