Opinions to stop losing weight

[BrandiceLeSha 101]

Yes i get told this daily. I ignore them and keep going to the gym. I secretly just give them the finger in my head and keep moving. I don't see how someone who isn't a medical professional or dietician can think they're a weight expert so their opinion doesn't mean anything to me. I'm not even at my goal yet. I think they just see you looking so different or your dress size is so dramatically different that they need to adjust their perception of you in their mind.

In other words they used to view me as fat, now that i'm a normal sized person they seem to think i'm to thin or have an eating disorder when i don't.

You're right. I had to step back and realize their words don't matter. Maybe good intentions.. Maybe jealousy... regardless, I did this for my health. And my body is saying my journeys not over so I'm going keep hiking the mountain

I certainly don't think you're the minority! That's the thing about it, you set your goal to whatever YOU want it to be. That's the whole jist of this thread, people feeling like they have the right to tell us what our weight should be. We know our bodies and we don't need anyone telling us what is healthy. We knew we were unhealthy at an obese weight, we will know when we are healthy at a lower weight, too.
Sorry for the rant, this topic really lights a fire under my ass!

Right on. What you want should be priority. And be happy with accomplishing your goal. You worked hard. I don't have a goal weight...I know that sounds absurd. One big reason is i didn't really know what i should be.... charts vs doctors telling me higher weights than chart. I just wanted to improve my health and back pain, so I just determined to be happy whatever my final weight ends up being. I'm not unhappy with my weight at the moment, but I continue on for health reasons.
