in Motivation and Support
No one else in my family is really heavy I get comments about the weight ive gained over the past couple of years all the time from family and Friends. Example my dad and I were out to breakfast and he told me his weight and I said omg I weight two more pounds then you. His response was omg Amanda you dont need breakfast if you weight more then I do. No one in my life cares about weight issues just me. I've been on and off MFP trying to connect with people that have the same issues and goals as me but even now not very many people comment or give advice on my diary, days, exercise, and etc. I am always commenting and praising MFP friends. I just really want the same in return please add me if you think you can help me out or comment. Thank you.

    You can add me as a friend! I love to offer support. Don't get discouraged. I have been both skinny and fat and I can tell you that when I was skinny I had no idea how hard losing weight was. If your family has never had to struggle to lose weight there is no possible way for them to get what you are going through. Just let what they say go in one ear and out the other.

    Well, I certainly hope that they come around and realize we all have struggles, some of us just carry those struggles on our *kitten*...and hips...and thighs! Easier said than done, but don't let their lack of support keep you where you aren't happy. Good Luck!!!
