Now that folk think I don't have to lose anymore weight based on how I look, they think I'm trippin' or overreactin' or whatever. I've had people roll their eyes at me when I check my pedometer or mention going for a walk or to Pilates class. Or they say, "You still on that $#!t?" What really ticks me off (and serves as the best motivator) is when people tell me my goals are unrealistic and I'll never be toned and I'll HAVE to have surgery to get rid of a bunch of skin and maybe I wasn't meant to be any smaller than I am now and I need to gain the weight back and what did I do and am I sick and have I started smokin' crack (seriously, this was mentioned by someone, I kid y'all not). . . I could go on and on. So now, I talk to Y'ALL and my blog and folk that I exercise with or who I know are on WW. Otherwise, I try not to even mention it. It even makes some people MAD. I'm like DANG, why you mad?
I'm glad I have some cyber-support!!!  |
OMG, I thought it was just me! I have friends, relatives -- and yes, even sorors -- telling me I need to stop losing (I'd like to get between 145-155). The last time I weighed 180 lbs was in 1985 (age 12) and believe you me, NO ONE was encouraging me to maintain that weight then. I'm riding this train to the very end of the line!
