Anyone that's lost a significant amount of weight have tips to deal with the comments of others?
I've lost 90 lbs and those in my town who see me on a semi regular basis (maybe once a month or more) will say things like "you're done, don't lose any more" "wow, don't lose any more, you're there" "are you done losing it?" or "don't lose any more, your face will get that gaunt look"
That last one especially touches a nerve with me being newly 50 and getting an education on the fact that weight does not come off evenly and it decided to really come off my skull more than it does my waist line much to my chagrin! I'm almost starting to get a complex (i've posted about this) about my face and how much it's changed but i've decided to make a conscious effort to try not to let it affect me (only hope my neighbor doesn't keep commenting). I want to try to lose a couple more pounds to see if this spare tire in the middle budges at all although i suspect most of it is loose skin but i cannot really tell. I am in no way UNDER weight and am not interested in removing every last bit of fat on my body so i don't know where these people are coming up with this?? Maybe i should just take it as compliments and just do what *I* want to do and not worry about it or maybe my insecurities and surprise at HOW i'm losing it in places is factoring in? Maybe everyone will just get used to the way i look and stop commenting....
