really annoyed

Right now I can only use my phone for WiFi...however when the opportunity presents itself I will upload pics from my heaviest through my progress..because believe me ...im almost half my person ...i got pulled over and the police yelled at me and told me I HAD to get a new ID because my picture compared to me was apparently not acceptable anymore. Again thanks everyone ...i feel a lot better.. I was beginning to think maybe I was just expecting too much ..but I think you guys are right !

:laugh: Hahahaha :laugh:

I'm not laughing at you..I'm visualizing this scenerio and I just think it's really funny. If you've got cops telling you that your picture no longer qualifies as current photo ID then you're doing a great job!!! Screw what my family would say. That cop would have just made my day. :-)

I'm on a "mental illness" kick now, having recently discovered many in my family are afflicted with personality disorders. Of course, one cannot make any diagnoses over the internet but it sounds like they have some mental issues, possibly illness. I know my narcissistic personality disordered parents act the way you're describing.

I recently set firm boundaries with them (call before you visit, we will be phoning you once a week, not multiple times a day, etc). They didn't like my 'rules' so they stopped coming around altogether. Prior to that, they'd show up, not say a word about my weight loss (of about 90 pounds at that time) but go on and on about how pretty my neighbor is and so on. It's called, EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION, look it up. To me, their refusal to acknowledge your stunning weight loss is a form of emotional manipulation.

Anyway, no way one wouldn't notice going from 300 pounds to 161. That's freaking amazing and many congratulations to you!!!

Exactly. If they show up OP, you don't need to answer the door. Just say you were having soooo much fun running in place jamming out to music you didn't hear the doorbell LOL!

Nerdy, you must be used to dealing with the Abby Normals, lol. OP, this is all about training your mom and sister how to treat you.

OP, the fact that you feel like they left a tornado in their wake speaks volumes...you know that's not remotely normal.

Make sure your taking before and during and after photos...sometimes photos tell the story and maybe they need to look at them for an eye opener but yes they are sabotaging you! DON'T LET THEM!

Yes ^ . When I lost weight I didn't realize how bad it got until I saw photos of myself from before.

I didn't realize it either so glad I took photos, they tell the story that the mirror doesn't.

Love it! That's actually a great compliment. :bigsmile:

Family can be the toughest critics. You'll probably find they are jealous of your determination to stick at something. You usually find it's the people closest that sabatoge us. They want you to change but are scared you will leave them behind.

Be proud of your achievement.

Exactly.

Sorry you are dealing with that. Females in my family relate to each other differently, I guess. This type of behavior would result in that person getting cussed out by the family member who is being picked on. Then the issue is laid to rest.
