Some people can be sooo rude. Grrr.... She needs a good beating!! Just kidding, but she does need some sense knocked into her. I think everyone should go by the rule, that unless you're wearing a "baby on board" shirt, noone should ever assume someone is preggo!! Some people don't realize how hurtful their comments are.
You are awesome just the way you are!

I had a kind of similar setback. I was at the mall and as I was walking out of a shoe store, a man approached me to give me a flyer for the new grand opening of an Ashley Stewart store. i had noticed him looking at me and was curious as to why, until he walked up to me. Now I AM 185 but I am one of those people who carries weight well. I ran track in college and still have an above average muscle mass. Nobody would ever be able to guess my weight and I wear a size 11/12 comfortably, actually my pants in this size are becoming loose. I had just been thinking how I was finally starting to look average again, and not plus sized. So it was like a slap back into reality for him to give me that flyer. But whatever, you just have to get over it, ya know? I know eventually I will get there and there will be no discrepancy between the way I see myself and the way others see me.

If it makes you feel any better my GOAL weight is 155-150ish
I want to keep my curves thank you very much. Don't worry about what other people say. They are just bitter. If you have a loving fiancee that thinks your beautiful, that is something to feel great about.

AND PLEASE dont' starve yourself. People ar ejust rude and there is no need to punish yourself for their stupidity. I remember in my not so fat days (about 160) I had on this cute little skirt and top and I was walking around in the mall. I thought I looked cute! These two huuuge girls walk past me and say very loudly " She knows she's to big to be wearing that" and just STARED me down. I went to the bathroom and cried I felt so terrible. Luckily my BFF was there to bring me out of it and tell me how
gorgeous she thought I looked.

Take opinions from the people who care a bout you, not the ones that are just trying to bring you down and don't know you from squat..
