Why do WLS patients LIE?

Well from the very beginning of this whole journey I told myself I was not going to lie to anyone who asked me how I am losing weight BUT this is proving to be harder than I thought, A LOT harder. It is weird..some people have asked me in a drive by manner, for example as they are walking by saying a quick hello but it is obvious they have somewhere to go.. I can not seem to get the words to come out of my traitor mouth! I just say things like Oh I am watching what I eat, or exercise, or high protein (which mostly true). How do I just spit it out?? What will happen if I do? I used to be so judgy about why people don't tell other people they had surgery but I kind of get it now. How do you bring it up and what will they think of me? oh my lots to say on this, not enough time. I will come back to this one...
I guess I am worried about people will think and in a way worried about if it will affect me getting a teaching job in my own town... Is that weird? I want to tell all the overweight people that I know that I did have surgery but I just can't seem to find the right moment to do it. For all of you out there that I did not tell right away, I'm sorry I just didn't know how.. I am seriously considering making little cards and just handing them to people when they ask me so they can just go to my blog and read ALL about it.
