did you ever think he was testing your commitment? It just occured to me...I've lost 70 pounds and I'm still fat... they probably realize you have lost weight but not how much you have actually lost... I feel like I've lost a few pounds but definietly dont look like I've lost 70...so maybe he is just seeing how commited you really are and it shows that you are and that you are strong enough to say no

No worries though...seriously you're doing an amazing job... in general people do not know how to support someone doing something that they themselves have never done before... I'm going this weight loss thing alone and thats why I'm so thankful for you girls...because you're the only ones who know what it is like

ya im with u, im doing this alone no support fr family and friends except u guys..im truly afraid that im going to fail because i dont have more support from family and friends.

I know exactly what you mean... I dont have a single over weight friend... everyone wants to go out and I live at home with my parents who eat like they are Paula Dean... butter goes on everything and everything is full fat... I get really frustrated with everyone because I dont feel supported...but in the end all you have is yourself... but this forum has really helped me to understand myself and being fat :)

omg u sound just like me!!! My parents just made cookies and just bought home 2 dz doughnuts...HELLO there is just 4 of us in the house and im not eating that (even thought i want too. lol) but i do have overweight friends that wont do anything about it. when i did live on my own, that was rough. i gained 132lbs.

I started my diet while I was a senior in college and lived on my own... If I wanted a cookie there wasnt one in my apartment so it didnt matter... I lost 50 pounds in roughly six months... moved home... gained 20 in about 4 months and then started working again to lose it... I have lost 70 pounds in a year and thats with losing 20 pounds twice and taking a 4 month break...Its not easy... I totally slipped up tonight...and I do that occasionally but I wake up the next day and I start over..sometimes I think my slip ups dont royally screw me because I spend so much time at the gym...Being home is the biggest temptation... there is always something I could eat but shouldnt which makes it really hard...my dad also brought home donuts and I'm stuck in a blizzard right now so I just want to eat and snuggle up... never good...
