The Roker interview
I to watched the dateline show last night. I had my hubby watch it
to he sat litterally riveted to the TV. He said “wow I didn’t
realize how complicated it really is”. He now has a better
understanding of what I go through on a daily basis. He knew about
the pain and health issues. I don’t think he realized how much it
bothered me emotionally to be obese. I have always been a confident
person. I told people I didn’t care what people thought of how I
looked. When inside I would wonder what was running through their
minds. The way I carry my wieght I look pregnant and have had people
ask when are you due? The look on their face when you say I’m not
pregnant. They are a little ashamed then its one of pity. Well dont
cry for me Agrentina. I am taking control and look out world because
here I come.
I think that Al Roker has done a wonderful thing in letting the
world know what it is like to choose this path. He did it with grace
and class. Hurray for Al and I hope he continues to be a successful
in everyway.
