dreading people's reactions

[Guest guest]

I'm a little over 2 years out, and right now, I'm at my lowest weight. I

actually got on the scale today and was down to 168. I don't buy into the

" window " either. I started as a slow loser, and continued that way. I did

do a little gain last year, right after my 1 year mark, and got up to about

188, so I'm actually less now by 20 pounds. I just revert back to the

protein, kick up the water intake, and it comes off again, little by little.

I really have to plug away at it now, for anything to come off at all... but

at least now I can actually lose!

OUCH. Well, my dear old grandmother (who was a Class A Bitch when she

set her very refined mind to it) would have smiled her sweetest smile,

and said, " Oh...what makes you think I'm not already there? "

Leave 'em in your dust, . You don't owe fools like that the time

of day. Though I know (as I suspect most of us here do) how much those

comments can sting...still, it can be fun to think of ways to turn them

around so that the Ignoramus winds up floundering around like a beached

whale, trying to think of the right thing to say. Heh heh heh.

GRRRRRRRRRRR I HATE THAT! I wish people could concentrate on how

far you have come vs where they think you should be. Sorry but this

just bugged me big time.

look mavelous daling.
