I have had to grow a second skin since I started this new phase of my life. When I realized I was 285 lbs, was waking up with headaches and unable to do the things I loved, I made major changes in my food and life choices. I have now lost 135 lbs. A few people have been supportive (mostly family), but many have been obstacles and even outright hurtful. This week I must not be in a good place because the comments have really sent me to a not so good place. I went out to lunch with co-workers during a planning meeting and when I ordered a salad and Ice Tea, my assistant joked about how I was becoming anorexic ( I didn't find the joke very funny). A 15-minute discussion proceeded regarding my weight loss where I felt like I had to defend myself.
Has anyone else gone through this? If so what did you do to get back on track.
