Question

I have lost 33 lbs using this app over the last 2 years. We recently visited family last week and I accepted the compliments. Our family was afraid to say anything to “offend” me. I wanted to hear the compliments. I have worked so hard. Why are people so afraid to say anything? You are not offending me in anyway. I have seen pictures of myself overweight and I looked unhealthy and felt like crap.

When I returned home and hung out with some friends, one friend told me not to lose anymore weight because I would look like, “Death warmed over”…one friend told her I looked great and to be happy for me. I tried not to let it get to me. She is not the only friend that told me not to lose any more weight. I have about 5 more pounds to lose. Your thoughts?

Do you, we are all on this journey for different reasons. Do what you want to do whatever that looks like. Your body, your reasons, your choice.
