babygirl_sandy 85 Posted May 25, 2012 I've decided to tell my kids and boyfriend first and they are very supportive, then I told my sister and best friend over drinks and they are completely supportive to the point, that they both said "we are all overweight if it works for you then we might jump onboard!! ".. But then I told my mom and there came the negative comments and asking why.. I just told her that I wasn't telling her for her negativity, I was just informing her of my decision cause at the end of the day its your life, health and body no one else.. so after that experience I decided to not to tell anyone else.. Its on a need to know bases and they don't need to know!! Sent from my SPH-D710 using VST 1 Mela reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Souledout 31 Posted May 25, 2012 I'm the only overweight person in my family on either side. My mother is extremely supportive both financially and emotionally. My father on the other hand doesn't want me to have it. I know he will come around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
