I too get the "You have such a pretty face" line. Especially from my THIN family members. Im say to them so my face is pretty, what about the rest of me? LOL That gets them everytime!

I am constantly being reminded of my pre-thin body. My grandmother keeps pictures of all her grandchildren and great grandchildren on her fridge and the picture she has of me was at 19, and 140 lbs. I have offered to give her a recent 25 and 200+ lbs and she has refused the offer by saying you were so pretty back then! Im like HELLO GRANNY am I so ugly now lol?

I am doing really good with my weight loss but it is hard to go through SO much being fat. Do any of you have that family member that ALWAYS tells EVERYONE who are overweight that they look like they have lost weight? lol Well My other grandmother does. EVERYTIME I see her she tells me I look like I have lost weight. She tells this to my 300+ lbs aunt who has only gotten LARGER over the last year the same thing. She thinks that all fat people need the compliment that they have lost weight regardless of wether they have or not!


I have stayed away from her house for the last 2 weeks since I have started phen. I have went from 278 to 251 in exactly 12 days! I feel GREAT and feel thinner! Im waiting until I get down to 200 before I make the long trip to my grandmothers to see if she will say I look like I have lost weight or to see if her jaw will drop, and dentures when I really have lost weight!

Im doing this first and foremost for me, myself and I! I need to be healthy for myself and for my 3 children so they have a mother in the future. I need this for myself so I can run and play and do things mother do with their kids.

I am also happy to be giving my husband his much thinner, pretty wife back. I couldnt have asked for more of a supportive person that him. He has loved me thin and fat and hopeully thin again. He doesnt think I have to change a thing but he didnt marry this fat person and the woman he did marry is hidden deep down inside of this other woman. She ate his wife and he needs her back!

I put on 150 lbs in a year and half and I plan on taking 20 lbs off every MONTH until I find myself again! I dont want to be thin as I was before because to me healthy and happy dont necessarily mean anorexic looking or boney! I want to be a thick nice curvy woman that looks good and feels good. At 5 foot 9 I look good at 180 lbs Im not too big nor too little so that is my first goal. I would like to get down to 150 eventually but if not Ill be just fine with 180!

I would have told my friend, if put in the same situation, that I appreciate him being concerned but that you are aware that you are at an unhealthy weight but that you are doing this for YOU and not for anyone else. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and you are a beautiful person, if not to him, to the rest of the world. Who gives a crap if people stare at us. If they would walk a mile in our shoes I think they would feel alittle differently. You keep your head up because you ARE beautiful no buts, if's and or's about it!
