Are you serious?

People are just plain rude and jealous. I have lost around 90 lbs and someone posted a picture of me on FB. I had someone (not a close friend) send me a private message that said "I hope you don't take this the wrong way but you either need to lighten your hair or darken your eyebrows..just a pet peeve of mine". Really...not congratulations on your weight loss or I bet you feel so much better after losing that weight...my hair is the wrong color. Give me a break! I didn't respond right away...had to wait so I wouldn't make a rude comment back. I just said...well if my hair is the wrong color...tell God because it is the color he gave me...lol! I know my eyebrows are thin but not really sure what I can do about them...maybe I should have some tatooed on!! She sent me the phone number of someone who could tatoo them on! Go figure!

So sorry to hear that that person was so jealous of you, I believe that that was all that was about. Congratulations for all your amazing weight lose. You are an inspiration to so many! I hope I can someday say I have lost 90 lbs! What a triumph, you should be sooo proud of yourself!

Let the Haters Hate! They are my motivaters I know I'm doing things right because they take notice and comment good or bad they notice! Any weight loss is an accomplishment and 65 lbs lost is no small achievement don't let anyone steal your joy during this journey! Some may not realize that they are being critical it's easy to be judgmental then be an encourager....Enjoy your journey it started with you and it will end with you this is your time and don't let anyone intrude on it!

Thanks so much for the encouragement!!!

I've lost 70 pounds and 3 dress sizes in 6weeks and my own grandma let me know how disappointed she is that i'm not skinny yet. Yeah, people suck. But you've done an awesome thing for yourself and others. Be proud, and rock that sleeve!

That's truly AMAZING. You keep up the good work!

My sister thought that after I had surgery I would be significantly smaller. She thought they were taken the fat from over my abdomen out unsteady of cutting the actual organ stomach.

Wouldn't that be nice if we had come out of surgery 100 or so pounds lighter?

First' date=' congratulations on the weight you have lost! That is quite an accomplishment. Second, and just as important is that I LOVE your attitude. Some people just don't have any idea, and also no speed bumps from their brain to their mouth. I admire that you have the attitude that you do - that will serve you well in all aspects of life. Keep up the great work!! You go girl.[/quote']

Thank you! I try to keep a positive attitude.

I think people don't know what to expect And because of that they can come across a bit rude. When I told a friend at 3 weeks out that I'm down 40lbs she said I thought you would have lost more by now. I don't know what she meant by it but I think she does doesn't understand. Don't let it get to you!!

40lbs at 3 weeks is amazing! Some people just shouldn't speak. My mom is always asking if I'm still losing weight. It frustrates me. Yes mom, I'm still losing and may be for up to 18 months. I wish people would try to educate themselves before opening their mouths.

I used to work with a gal like that who liked to tell people what they should be wearing and how their hair and make up should be. Control freaks!

That is so funny! My 10 year old thought the same thing!

Roll Tide BamaGirl! I have lost 93 lbs and just can't seem to get to that 100lbs mark! Everyone thinks the weight just magically falls off. I have been the same weight for a month...ready to move on!

That's a great loss no matter what. Maybe the other gal is just feeling a little insecure about her own struggles.
