Hey keep your spirits up! I feel bad for you not having support from your family. However, we are your family now and will never say those mean nasty things to you. We understand you and feel your anxieties and pain. Tell your mom how wonderful all of your support is at home. If she does not want to support your decision then you need to let her know that you have never needed her approval to take better care of your own health. You can do this, take a deep breath and push on. You are beautiful and enjoying those children. You have become a more active mom and you have added years to your life. Think about all the positives while they play their negative game and just smile. And smile.... and smile.... They will stop when they know all it is doing is making you happier about your decision!!!! Flaunt that new body of yours and show off to your family!!!! And try to have fun with it! Good luck and God Bless!!! Leslie

It's sad how you think family is suppose to be there for you through thick and thin, and many times they're not. My mom's a negative nancy (that's what i call her) I even call her that in person lol. Don't mind your mom or your sisters. I think their (haters). You're beautiful and you've accomplished so much. Your changing your life and making it better for YOU not for anyone else. You're aunt is right. Just tell them you're healthier. Ignore the rest of the negative comments they make.

We can emphathize with PO's family members. Just ignore any snipes and keep on your journey. If you lose them, who needs them if they are non-supportive. Good luck and let me know if I can help.

I could use your help… do you have pepper spray? That might keep them at bay…

Don't have that but do have plenty of hugs for you. Sorry the situation is so toxic. Just hold your head high and think of the healthier you that is more important than any sniping relatives.

I have to admitt....your telling it like it is, really made me laugh because I would so be saying/ feeling the same things if my family did that to me...you so must be me souls sister....I think you have your head on straight just don't let the jealous bittys drive you to drink...I suggest you say what you need to say but pehaps be a little more offensive....like ask your sister for diet tips for eatting out at resturants???...try to have fun at their expense if you have to....just have fun!!!

WOW!!!! That's why I didn't tell anyone!!!! For a lot of those reasons........everyone thinks I have just been doing a serious diet..............we all know that is true..........this is a serious diet and not an easy thing.....but it was our choice..... I have been able to convince them and have had no questions....well there are questions...how are you losing weight.....what are you eating.....how much have you lost.....my answer is usually the truth.........protein shake for breakfast .... oh about 2 - 3 oz of chicken or beef etc. & some vegs for lunch and dinner......some vitamins.....no bread, pasta, rice, keeping really low carbs and low fat..........about 700 calories per day............then the questions end.....no way I could do that.........they say..........end of conversation.....

I do wish you luck this weekend....hang in there and be strong....you are too important to not waste time with that sort of nonsense.........you have a new life so grab on and leave the negative people out.

Do have a few drinks in moderation to celebrate the new you...and have a happy and safe 4th
