sharing with people don't get me wrong. There are some folks very interested and caring and they want to know the facts. I'm struggling with sharing my story with every tom, dick, or harry that comes into my store as a customer. I feel like if I don't share I'm lying somehow. I've been at my job 3+ years and live in a small town. You can't help notice my butt is getting smaller, so they talk. One lady I was talking to yesterday had a family member thinking about WLS years ago and got turned down for surgery. She had the nerve to say she thought her family member was taking the easy way out as she stumbled over her words while talking to me. Grr I stood up and said "it's not the easy way out, it's a tool". Almost like I get no credit for my hard work of eating healthy and exercising. That made me sad. I'm working so hard to make this happen for myself. The surgery is making it easier but I'm still working my ass off for myself. So I was thinking last night, do I want to change maybe what I say to every tom, dick, or harry when talking small talk to my customers? I'm just not sure what to say anymore. I'm spending my whole day @ work talking about me and my weight. Guess this is all part of changing. I'm still the same inside but the outsides are changing. Well I'm looking for advice guys. Does anyone work in customer service or felt the way I am right now? Having struggles with sharing or anything? HELP :(201.0 this morning. (so close) :) That makes me smile!

Woohooo you're getting close!
As for the sharing part, I would explain that you did this for your health and it's been a long and ard journey and you'd appreciate everyone respect your privacy. If you'd rather put an end to the talk I mean. It sucks that people won't leave you alone about it, sheesh!
Here is the I used for the protein balls. There are tons of variations though.
1c. rolled oats (not instant)
1c. peanut butter
1c. protein powder (you can use anything pretty much, I used my matrix cookies & creme)
1/4-1/2c. SF syrup or honey (use less honey, more syrup, I only used 1/2c. of maple syrup though)
I made 16 balls out of this and it came out to 11g of protein per ball. I found them very sweet at first, but once they chilled in the fridge they are GOOD!
thank you. next rainy day I'm going to whip some up and give them a try! :)
