sharper, your post made me feel awful-i'm so sorry she hurt you that way. dawn, yours made me feel even worse! what a horrible thing to say to your children!! in my case, it's not my mom, but my dad. my mom is really supportive and encouraging, and i don't think my dad means to be insensitive, but he sure is. when i announced to my parents that my weight loss had hit 100lbs, all my dad could say was, "well, it's a start." just about broke my heart. course, my mom was gonna kill him. now, i just let it roll off my back because i think it's a little jealousy. my dad has diabetes and cannot, or will not, stick to a diabetic diet, but i am. so, chin up honey, and don't surround yourself with unsupportive people, or at least keep it to a minimum.
