Unsupportive Family members and a few friends

Barbaramarierobertson

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to get in shape and get out if the 200s again. My family says I don't need to lose weight and because I'm tall I'm going to end up like a "skinny long beanpole." Nobody is supportive and a friend of mine said I dont look fat and I look fine the way I am and I'm meant to be bigger and I'll never be slender. I'm currently 226lbs (lost 4 pounds!) Large built and 6ft tall barefoot.

What does it matter what they think?

Just don't talk about it and eat what you want to eat.

I agree with the above. Don't talk about it. You are in control and it is your body and weight. Others' opinions aren't important as long as your health isn't in danger and it sounds like you have absolutely no real reason NOT to lose weight, so go for it.

You've posted about this before, you can't control what people think but you can control how you react to it. Ignore their comments.

There is a saying I like, what anyone else thinks of me is none of my business. People are entitled to think what they want and are entitled to their opinions, but it doesn't make them right.

Yeah true people can think what they want and have their own opinion but it makes me unmotivated but I don't care about their opinions anymore.

They can't make you unmotivated, only you can.
