    Just goes to show how important it is surround yourself with positive people when on a change of life style- and to have a thick skin too!

    I think that's true for many areas of life, not just weight loss.

    Sometimes meaningful results take time, usually much more time than most people imagine or want it to take.

    Sometimes it is really hard.

    Sometimes there are obstacles to overcome.

    Sometimes other people talk absolute rubbish about you.

    Getting through all these situations is helped tremendously by being emotionally resilient. It is quality which is well worth fostering.

    With my mom, I told her just because you are old does not give you the right to say anything. Your words hurt.

    It took me about 20 lbs. before people started saying things like "Wow, you've lost weight--I can really see it in your face!" Be patient. Stay the course. The first thing to change will be the scale, and your physical appearance will change later.
