WHAT?!?! Who says that? I just told her I wasn't comfortable sharing that, but thanked her again for the compliment.

I think you handled it very well, some people just don't have the same boundaries with questions as we do. I can relate to this experience as last night I had a patients family member tell me how good I was looking and how much had I lost, I told her I was a little over half way there and she said "but you look good now if you lose that much you will look sickly." I said not to worry I work with many nurses who see me daily and will let me know If I have gone to far and left the room. As I said some people like to pry a little to far and give advice that was never asked for. ;)

Ragdoll74 and Starshine: Thanks for the support :hug: There is no doubt in my mind I can get there I just want to look good doing it ;)

Aliens abducted me and this how they returned me. That's all we know." I still feel quite repulsed by his "what" remark. I know it was more who said it than what was said but can't people just say "hi you look good" and leave it at that.

I think I'll use that alien comment. :) People sometimes are well meaning, but they just go a bit far. I wish someone would have cared enough to ask how I was doing when I was gaining all the weight.....

I think you handled it with grace. You never can tell what others are going to say.

Incredible! Hope you don't reach over a province and slap me but I can see why the above mentioned nosey person wondered if you needed to lose that much again.

I'm wondering if all of Wuvs friends on this thread know about the "gofund"project. You can read about it on the second and third page of the "LovingWuv"thread.
