Thank you ladies. Day 3 is going ok so far. I am fuming due to comments made by a relative who I haven't seen since for quite a while. Her exact words were "how come you've gotten so fat?". She then went on to talk about my weight for the next 30 minutes. At one point, it was a case of "hello I'm still in the room". I just sat quietly fighting back the tears. I have avoided seeing quite a few family and friends for sometime which isn't good I know. I just couldn't handle any negative comments. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm more determined than ever to lose weight, not because of the comments but because I want to make changes to my health and wellbeing.
I'm so happy that this site exists and everyone is so supportive. Its nice to know that there are others who understand and can relate. What will also keep me going is all the members who have lost the weight and are now maintaining. It proves it can be done. Sorry to go on, its nice to get it off my chest, especially when those around me either don't agree with what your doing or are not taking me seriously.
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. x
