Hi Maria,
To lose 4 stone is a fantasic achievement, and should be celebrated from the rafters. I cannot imagine anyone in our Group being so catty, but, as everyone else has said, they've obviously got their own issues.
Now, why don't you just show them what your made of, and aim for a really good weight loss this week. You CAN do it, you've got until Thursday... It will be hard, much more difficult than usual to get on top of your feelings and stick strictly to plan. By a really good weight loss I'm talking about 2lbs - that's really good in my book!!!
Just to put your terrific achievement into perspective, last week at Group our Consultant brought in a big heavy box, very prettily wrapped with a huge bow on the top. She asked us to pass it round during Image Therapy. "Do we start to unwrap it" asked some. No, she said, just pass it round, and at the end I'll get you all to guess what's inside!
I thought it was a dinner service - it was so heavy that several people nearly dropped it on its way round the hall. Can you guess what was in that pretty box Maria? It was ONE STONE!!! And you have lost FOUR of them!!!!!!
So Many Congratulations on your success so far, and Very Best Wishes for your continuing journey. Keep us posted.
