    1 word: envy. It's quite the sin. You should remind this person of that...

    And, you should be proud of yourself :)

    You know what? First, I think it was awesome that you called her and stuck up for yourself by explaining how rude her comment was, and secondly, a large frappe to church???? Really??! That's almost as stupid as the comment. Well, I don't know the frappe in church might have been dumber. But what in the world are people thinking some times?? Anyway fantastic job on your weight loss and way to be assertive. People can be so ridiculous.

    Thank you! The frappe was a little ridiculous! She sounded so shocked when I told her she couldn't bring it in!

    It's funny, church has been where I've had the most comments on my weight. I started losing when the head bell ringer asked if I was pregnant, although I was just fat. The next comments were to check I wasn't ill or to tell me not to lose any more. Now, finally,I'm mainly asked how I did it :laugh:

    At least you are too skinny, I've lost 76 pounds and someone asked me yesterday when my baby was due! Ha! I had on a "peasant top". I think next time I'll say tomorrow and then they will say, wow you aren't very big.....reverse psychology!

    Jan...I am so proud of you for all of your VERY hard work. You've really fought to turn your body into a healthy one, especially with your family history of heart disease. You're such an amazing person and you deserve a lot of credit for beating the odds. You look wonderful and you're a good friend too. Keep up the good work, stay focused on your goal, and keep on being HEALTHY!!!! Besides...that person was probably just JEALOUS!!!! LOL!!!!!!

    U go girl!!!! I had a "friend" (who is bigger than me) tell me that if I lose 30 lbs I would look like a crackhead. I'm at 167 now and used to be 125lbs at 5'5". At not one point in my 30 years on earth have I ever looked like a crackhead. In my mind, I thumped her in her head. Some people just don't want to see you progress, because they have no aspirations to do better with themselves. It's called hating. Let her do her job and you just keep improving on you. Maybe one day she'll join you in working out instead of working out her lips. LOL

    In church? really?

    Sure the comment was uncalled for, but you need to learn to turn the other cheek and exercise some self control.

    Best 2 quotes ever - Don't mess with me, Jillian is my trainer and the high road is closed today.

    Good for you for calling her out. I'm not a big fan of people insulting others and then passing off their insensitivity as "just joking". They know better and so do I; who do they believe they're fooling? Good job and you are right, no addict works this hard.

    If you are unhealthy and are gaining weight, in my experience, no one says a word. Start getting your crap together an get healthy, and people say the meanest things. To be fair, lots of people are nice and say good job, but so many have no problem making negative comments about weight loss. I don't get it...

    "Not everyone will agree with how you change your eating strategy. Some friends, family co-workers and even neighbors will suddenly develop "concerns" they insist you should have. What I find interesting is that MOST people who bring up these concerns never batted even an eye lash when you were eating wheat, corn, soy, GUZZLING soda, MSG, hot dogs, chips, veggie oil which caused you to get allergies, headaches, IBS, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, etc... which may have led to you taking meds and/or become unhealthy and FAT. BUT, as soon as you start to make a move, BAM, they suddenly have "concerns" to remind you of." ~ FitRichWoman

    I had my boss at work pull me into the office and tell me that my 'weight loss has been extreme" and that I 'look sickly' and that I looked like I "was on drugs". I was thisclose to filing a complaint because she was talking about firing me, but I had a great evaluation later and I told her that her comments were inappropriate, irrelevant, and disrespectful.

    Good job on sticking up for yourself. Good luck on the rest of your journey!
