This is not about what I should and shouldn’t eat at the party…I’m not stressing about that. This weekend I am seeing family members that have not seen me in a long time. I need some suggestions/ideas on how to handle the comments. They are extended family so I don’t see them often. Some of them haven’t seen me since before I lost over 100 pounds so please advise what I can do or say to kindly answer questions about the weight loss but effectively change the subject. What have you done in a similar situation where you have lost weight and people are seeing you for the first time?

    Smile and say thank you...really that is the best way to go over it.
    You will be a focus of attention. Be prepared. And just enjoy it..there is nothing wrong with enjoying all the results of all your hard work.
    I think for me I can't shock anyone anymore..but I loved seeing someone who hadn't seen me before my transformation and when they see me today its like they have no idea who I am...hehe its fun!.
