I agree Kira- I already told her that I'm not going to be spending as much time online or on the phone because I am trying to workout more and am looking to gain time wherever I can... Course that probably just makes her think even more so that I'm obsessed with weight... :p

You know, there is nothing wrong with being concerned about your weight and health. EVERY step you take now will give you YEARS of good health down the road. And it is common to have those not on board with your plan to claim that you are now "obsessed".
IF you have a nice social life, IF there is some flexibility in your plan, IF you have a reasonable amount of time devoted to exercise, and IF your diet/exercise isn't impacting negatively on your usual functioning, you aren't obsessed.

Hang in there, Chickie! I'm looking forward to seeing your before and afters, really really soon!

:hug:

Kira

Isn't it just plain weird that we're "obsessed" if something is important enough to take us away from online time?

Sometimes it's best to limit time with toxic "friends".....you lost, she gained & if she is used to being lighter than you then whoa, you just threw a monkey wrench in the hierarchy of your circle.

I understand your frustration! One of my aunts has recently been spreading the lovely rumor around that I had WLS this past December & that is why I have lost so much weight as a result PLUS I have become bulimic....ummm riiiight! When I come across her and not in front of my children I'm going to tear into her so fast she won't know which way is up or down.

Thanks Kira- yeah I don't care what she says anymore- I'm like pft yeah I'm an obsessed anorexic who weighs 214 lbs... RIGHT...

I hear ya Julie- when I told her that I wanted more time for exercising and to spend with my family she said "but you hardly spend anytime online anyways!" this coming from someone who is ALWAYS signed in on msn- I mean I figure if I can spend an hour or so online a day I can definitely get in at least half an hour on the treadmill a day!

OMG RD that sucks- you look AMAZING BTW girl!

Trust me when my time comes to post my pictures you'll hear me shout it from the rooftops ;)

I would be fuming. Actually, I'd probably say something like, "I heard some people say that they think you're getting too big........"

Wonder how she'd take that! HAHA! (Yeah, I can be evil...)

LOL kimmie! That's awesome I love it ;)
