    Everybody around me is so unsupportive of me losing weight.i only have a few people that supports me like my boyfriend, dad, and grandma and also my brother girlfriend.my mom says im too big to ever wear a binkini again that i should wear a one piece swimsuit. If i feel comfortable wearing a binkini i will wear one.i always have and most likely always will.then today i told my best friend i lost 8 ounces she goes what only 8 ounces.it hurts when people say that stuff to me.like im trying to better myself and they are trying to bring me down cause they are overweight.its not my fault that they feel that way.i just wish people around me was more supportive. I get more support on here then i do in person.

    This is my saying: when the doctor said push, I was the only one that came out. When I started my weight loss journey in February I decided my first priority was going to be about me. I have been trying to lose weight for a very long time, never reached my goal due to negative vibes. Unless you are prepared to switch off from such negativity, you are not going to get any where.

    I had a friend tell me the other day: all you seem to be interested now is your weight loss, well you know what, if I am not interested who else will be, definitely not you.

    Grow a spine, focus on you; just picture yourself in that bikini or sexy dress (or whatever) and imagine how the faces of negativity will look. Misery likes company, takes yourself out of it and you will succeed, otherwise you will find yourself as miserable or even more miserable than the people who are making your life hell. You also need to make this about you, not your boyfriend, family etc, - irrespective of how supportive they are.

    The simple truth is like many other posters said is this has to be done for you. While it's great to have supportive people in your life those are just a bonus. You are the only one who can truly make the changes. I'd bet those who aren't supportive are somewhat jealous of your decision and what you've accomplished.

    Ultimately you have to do this for you and not someone else, otherwise you'll fail.
