14lb loss in 12 days

I was told to lose 15-20 pounds in the next few months for surgery,well today was my 12th day of dieting and I lost 14lbs.I'm proud of myself.When I told my dad he said,'if you weren't cheating you could be losing 3-4 pounds a day'.He was not kidding,it hurt.Everyone else was really happy for me,they knew I was being good!I guess I thought he would be happy he seems all for my wls. thanks for reading my post....kathy

Some people do not understand that we can not loose weight like other people can. And fathers God knows I love mine to death but even now after my surgery which was 16 days ago he is not worried that I am not eating enough. Fathers are fathers lol... Take care of you. Priscilla

WOW!! 14lbs is nothing to sneeze at!! Dont let anyone get you down about not losing enough... Trying to lose weight isnt easy no matter which way you do it.. Its hard and unless someone has struggled themselves they just dont understand... You are doing great, you setting yourself up for a successful journey! Good luck! Amber

Way to go, Kathy! 14 pounds is excellent! Dont let your dad, or anyone else for that matter, get you down. Sometimes, people say things without realizing how hurtful it will be. Lisa L.

Congratulations, good luck, and let the comments slide off with the fat. Some people just dont get it. Anything is better than nothing. And if people would encourage instead of cut down the world would be a happier place. You are doing your best. Keep up the good work. If life was perfect we would all wear sensible shoes. love marie
