That's just aweful, Sassy!!! My mom doesn't know what I weigh, but I would tell her. I think my hubby knows what I weigh because he was with me the last time I was in the ER and had to tell them how much I weighed. I have told my weight to a couple sisters before...and to a close friend that was in the same boat as me and we were dieting together. Aside from that, I seriously avoid telling people.

Sassy - I hear you...I have had lots of disappointment when searching for support. My family is supportive, and I can talk to DH about all of it. I have come to the conclusion that while friends and support groups are helpful, I really need to look to me and me alone for my validation. People are only human after all, who knows what makes them act the way they do sometimes? Like Bep said, it's awful - you opened up to her about something very personal then poof.....

When things like this happen to me, I just remind myself that I am the one who benefits the most from the changes I make and that I am doing this for ME and no one else. Sorry your friend left you hanging - hopefully she will be able to talk to you about it at some point, so you know what made her act that way.

Awwwwwww Thanks Ladies.......:hug:

I know your right and I am not letting this one little thing get me down either. And I agree with you, Katy, it has got to start with us. I think I am finally realizing that it all begins within myself. That is why I keep "falling off the wagon" because I didn't beleive in myself. I have got to remember that I am my own best friend and that is very important.

I am going to give the person the benefit of the doubt until I know for sure that she dissed me on purpose. Sometimes people just do not know how to respond to some things. I realize that and online you cannot read "body language". So maybe it made her feel uncomfortable or something.

Anyways, life goes on, right? I cannot let that keep me from moving on.

Well I hope you ladies have a fine Friday!

:hug:

Morning,

I'm getting antsy and there's not much else I think about except leaving in 5 days. It seems unreal :-O I will of course keep in touch once I'm over there, but it just may not be as often. I'm not sure what my internet options will be since I'm almost certain there won't be a computer in the apartment.

Sassy - sorry about having to deal with unsupportive people :( I'm sure that can really hurt. I've always been very secretive when it comes to weight loss attempts...like if people knew they would be watching me to see if I fail or not. But it gets so lonely, that's why I like it here...don't know if that's relevent...it just kind of came out :dizzy:

Cristina - eek, sorry about DS :(

Thanks Susan. :hug:

I have been secretive in the past about WL too. Until I found this site and now I feel like I can be more open.

Hey Michelle! :wave: Glad you could get "back" to yourself! lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :D

Good morning everyone! I am having a huge BBQ tonight so I will be pretty busy all day. I hope you all have a beautiful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone

I'll be pretty busy most of the day today - DS and I are handing out school supplies at church today, and our house is being painted. I did want to stop by and say "hi" and I hope everyone has a great day!

Michelle - who is that cutie in your avatar?

Sassy and Susan - I am pretty secretive as well. I just stopped revealing my weight to people becasue I was tired of the response...people say I don't look like I weigh as much as I do...maybe it's true or maye they are just being nice, I don't know, but I stopped talking about weight when I was very young and I till really don't like to get into specifics with people.

Anyway - Hi to everyone else - hope you have a great weekend! Are we up for a weigh in on Monday? I skipped this last one, but I'll do it this Monday.

K

Good morning

Eating did NOT go well yesterday, but exercise is picking up so that's good. Its so cool around here it does not feel like August!!!

Have a good day everyone, I think I'm going to do some painting in the kitchen.

Morning all.

I hope you all have a great day!

Sorry there is not more, but I am very :tired:

Hi

I'm feeling very frustrated because I have made no progress at all this summer. It seems like Ive been more active in the last six months than in a long time but yet I've gained weight. I keep tellig myself that as soon as I move out again and am not being fed by my parents it will all be fine but now I'm doubting it. I'm back near my top weight that I NEVER wanted to go back to. I know its possible to lose it because Ive done it before (at least part way) but something is harder this time and I just keep putting on the pounds. God help me.

Sorry just needed to rant a little, I hope ou all have a good day.

Weigh-in day....down 3 lbs!!!!!!!!! YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

SusanNYC....sorry about your frustration! I am the same way with myself sometimes too! You totally can do this though!
