Comments about weight/

[Guest guest]

Here I sit at goal weight reading this....my only real comment is to consider

the source. The people (loved ones & not) who say these things KNOW how to

push your buttons. People can only hurt my feelings IF I ALLOW THEM to hurt

my feelings. I KNOW in my heart that I went through a lot of hell to get at

goal & I struggle to keep myself there. Nobody who comments to me has walked

in my shoes (or in my former 321 pound body :-)

Best of everything to you!

.. I just hate the double edged compliments. I look

better, but they still want me to know that I'm not as good as I could

be.

Grrrrrr.

, when I reached about 180 pounds (I started right where you

started) my sweet father said to me, " You're starting to look really

good " . He completely meant that as a compliment but I was thinking to

myself, " So, I really looked like hell when I was larger? " and also, " So

when do I actually FINALLY look good as opposed to STARTING to look

good? " .....LOL. Sometimes you just have to try not to read into things

so much, I guess. Easier said that done, eh?

I understand!
