    My pastor (who has a wicked sense of humor) once made the comment that if, as a parent, you have kept your children out of jail and given them something to discuss with their therapist, you have done your job. :laugh:

    That being said, I think you answered your own question: They are all bigger than you.

    Have you lost weight since you last saw them? Do they know about MFP? Did you not overindulge where they did?

    People often try to drag you down rather than climb out the hole with you. It's easier to stay within that you know.

    Drop the weight sweetie, take a REALLY sexy 4th of July pic and send them all "wish you were here" emails! :bigsmile:

    You are right, as much as it hurts, you are doing this for you.. not for them. It's sad that parents don't do their job sometimes....support! You've take the right steps.. you are here. Forget them. There's a reason you haven't seen them in 3 years. You don't have to be born into a family. You can make one. You go girl. Show em what you got!

    I can tell you that very day I come into contact with people who are just MISERABLE, and they take it out on others and are snippy and gripe behind peoples' backs. I am comforted by 2 things:

    1) no matter where they go, THEY can never escape their self-imposed misery (but you can!)
    2) their behavior says far more about them than about you!!!
