Am not sure if there is currently a thread on this , but I just had to get something off my chest!
Have just had a very dear friend on the phone in tears - she is an on off member of our SW group but has been more off than on this last year, and yes, she has put on weight.
Her Dad and husband are nagging her to lose weight to the point that whenever she eats she is getting tutted at etc.
My dear departed Dad used to do the same and as much as I loved him lots , I really resented him for doing this!
When we are overweight - we do not need people telling us what we already know!!!!!
I told her to calm down and come back when she is ready - if she comes to class again because of family pressure then she will not succeed - we all know that SW will work when we our minds are in the right place.
And on a similar note - our group has its' own private Facebook page and I had posted on Tuesday how happy I was to get back to my pre Christmas weight. A fellow ( much bigger than me ) member replied that she couldn't believe how much weight I put on over Christmas ( 6.5 pounds) and that the 1 and a half stone she had gained on a 4 month cruise didnt seem so bad! Grrrr.
I wish people would think before they open their mouths! Rant over lol x
