Surrounding myself with positive people!

Hi everyone! My name's Nadia and I'm here to find positive people to surround myself with. I started my weight loss journey last year after an insanely inappropriate doctor fondled my tummy and said "Thiiiissss... has to go!"
(He's a dermatologist. I'd gone in with questions about excessive sweating).
I was beyond mortified, but it was the kick in the butt I needed to get started.
I'm still far from my target weight, but what I've learned so far is that it's hard to do it alone. Especially when the people around you are not eating healthy, or worse, make fun of you for trying.
Then I found MyFitnessPal and everyone here is on their own journey, it's great. Everyone has their own version of what got them started, and I'd love to hear it. Add me and we'll undertake this challenge together. And one day we'll look back and laugh in the face of all them *****es who made fun of us, moohahaha.

    I hear you. Forget all those that are laughing at you or anyone. They are just jealous or intimidated that we are trying to better our lives and have started way before them. We'll be the inspiration for them now. I'll add you! :)
