Support

My father-in-law said to me today: "Time will tell whether you lose the weight and keep it off." His tone was almost that of a challenge. 

It didn't surprise me. I heard from none of Adam's family after the surgery. I wanted to confront them about it, but failed. What can I say? These are people who haven't taken a single picture of me in the ten years Adam and I have been together. They have never said "you're good for him" or anything remotely close. Why would I expect support from a source that is not forthcoming?

They did say I look good. They were wrong. I look damn good.
