Negative family and friends?
I am having issues with some of my family members making remarks to my sister and me about losing weight. We both had lapband surgery about two weeks apart and we are so excited to be going through this journey together. Several of our relatives have made comments like “don’t get too small” or “XL will be too small for you and I don’t think you need to get that small” What are you serious an XL shirt is too small? It’s like they have seen us so big our entire lives and cannot wrap it around their brains that we are losing weight and may be smaller one day. I told a friend that my dream size wedding dress was 12 and she was said “you will never be a 12 sorry to tell you”! She tried to back track it and say she meant that my bone structure isn’t made for a size 12. LMBO! How does she know what my bones look like under 200 pounds of extra weight!!! By the way we are no longer friends because that wasn’t the first negative remark she has made. At that time I weighed 373 and I guess she couldn’t see me smaller either. Well, I am going to do this and no matter what anyone thinks I am going to lose weight!!! Does anybody else have issues or stigmas in their family that see skinny or even normal as a negative? My goal weight is 199 and that is not near being skinny.
