My parents make comments. I'm 5'2" and about 140 lbs currently (I tend to hover around this weight). They have told me not to lose "too much weight" and my mom thought I was "addicted to working out" when I worked out 3 times a week.

I'm all for people speaking up if there is a concern, but come on... 3 hours a week of exercise is "addicted"?

This is almost exactly my issue!!!! im NOT sickly either. I have a lot of muscle and still some chub around my lower back... :-p

I also get the same thing someone above said, about the friends/family trying to lose weight too and you watch them eat an entire taco kit. Lol (I've def been there lol but I reserve those slips for cheat days)

This all takes SOOOO much dedication and will power. Id rather eat an entire bag of Oreos and sometimes I walk by the cabinet 12 times haha but I end up eating an apple. I think my frustration comes with people not being supportive and trying to derail or make you feel bad about yourself. It's really really hard work to maintain this lifestyle.

Another side note... My husband tells me I look good but usually follows it up with how fat he is and then squeezes his belly. I think he looks great! He could lose a few (for health reasons, not looks) but he doesn't have to. It'd be a lot easier to stay focused and being healthy if there was support and not ice cream and French fries dangled in front of my face. Lol.

I've run into that too. It's a big change for you and remember that it can also be a big change for them.
