    The Things People Say?

    I had a "friend" who would constanly tell me what I should and shouldnt eat. She once even had a go at me for eating a sandwich made from nimble as she believed bread was bad for weight loss.

    NSVs - Non Scale Victories

    Clothing confusion.....

    I've had that in New Look too, I remember when I was slimmer trying on two pairs of jeans from there: same cut, same inside leg, same size just diffent colours. The stone wash ones fitted perfectally, yet the indigo ones wouldn't even get past my hips :confused:

    Was walking, got shouted at 'fat b' from a car window today

    I'm sorry that happend to you :( I had a similar thing happen to me in a pub earlier this week from an off duty member of staff (who oddly enough is overweight himself), calling me a "fat mess" as I walked past him to go the ladies. Like you I was not dressed to get attention or bothering...

    Question about boobs

    I've found that my cup size hasn't increased since I gained weight, just my back size (went from 34 to 40 back) so hopefully my back size will just go down as I lose weight, even if the cup goes down I personally won't be too botherd as I could always wear a wonder bra or chicken fillets.

    I feel ashamed and disgusted in myself, lost motorvation

    Thanks for the replies, I've been sticking to my diet. I can always slim down, yet he'll probably always be a loser who puts others down to try and make himself feel better. I've not been in the pub since then, but my brother went in earlier today for one after work and ended up chatting to...

    I feel ashamed and disgusted in myself, lost motorvation

    Thanks for replies. Even though I've never had bad experiences in that pub before I'm very relucant to be going back, even if I do end up losing a lot of weight, I wouldn't feel comfortable going somewhere where the staff make nasty comments about the customers.

    I feel ashamed and disgusted in myself, lost motorvation

    Thanks for replies. I did make a complaint to the landlord, who did try to convience me that the barman was making a joke about someone else (although a few minutes later he took the barman to the side and saying "thats the second time you've done that now"). The barman in question is...

    I feel ashamed and disgusted in myself, lost motorvation

Tonight I went for a few drinks with my brother in a local pub (I took syn value for all of them). I was feeling positive until a off duty barman made a...

    people who sabotage you

    My brother is like that with me "ooh you've done well this week its not going to harm!". I don't think he does it on purpose though, he's never had to diet so he probably doesn't understand how it works. He's one of those lucky ones who can have a pizza or chippy meal with a bar of chocolate...

    Going to group is becoming a chore not a pleasure

    Some of the comments have reminded me of when I went to meetings about a year ago. Some woman had kept gaining weight as she ate a lot of chocolate, one night she complained about it for about 15 mins and as a result the meeting over ran. Other members and the consultant gave her suggestions...

    You could visit your GP and see if your edgilble for free Slimming World classes on the NHS if not maybe they could refer you to a weight management service run by your local PCT if theres one in your area.
