:huh: so im walking this morn see my neighbor she asked about my mother and yayayay (my mother had kidney transplant) then ask if ive lost more weight since the last time she saw me i said um no i havent. not since you saw me 6 days ago......im moving in a couple of months to a new area and i hate to say this but not too many people will be hear about my weightloss journey yes i know it wrong but not a day go by someone doesnt mention my weight or they shock i havent gained it back like they are waiting for it to happen (it been three years) or have 101 question for me everyday. how come you have no loose skin? liquid diet! wasnt that dangerous? ugh the list goes on. now the new one is im too thin and they want to attempt to feed me or now at work everyone thinks i have a eating disorder. (someone just called me up to share um hello could kept that to yourself) *sigh it like give me a break please! i had to get on my Best friend she use to tell everyone every where we went. i got on her case and explained look yes i know about the battle of the budge but i just want people to see nikki not the ex fat girl i go to OA meetings and i talk about everything there i leave it there till next group meeting...............sounds horrible to some but not to me i did this to live a normal life. not to still be looked at for my weight. i understand pay it forward but in real life people can drag things into the ground and this may sound even more horrible but most people are looking for a quick fix they don't want to hear about my sacrifices or hear about the long hours at the gym they want a magic pony story and weight loss has no magic just a lot of blood sweat tears. thanks for reading:flowerforyou:

Sounds like you have accomplished a lot. Congrats for that.
It also sounds like you are ready to move on and start a whole new life as a whole new you.
Nothing wrong with that. People who knew the old you are still hanging on to the old images.
Good for you attending meetings that help you unload baggage and concerns. Your attitude of looking forward sounds right to me.
Best of luck to your healthy lifestyle and focusing on the positives. :flowerforyou:0 -
i think it will be a great fresh start for you moving to a new area then!0

Thank you for sharing! I am only at the begining of my journey and I already have alist of people who annoy me with questions and comments. My favorites include, "Well, I hope it lasts this time", "Are you sure your eating enough" (Did they care when I ate too much!), "I know this one person who lost all his weight... BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
Thanks for letting me vent... I think I needed that! lol0 -
oh sweetie, I'm sorry people are so foolish. You look amazing, you are beautiful inside and out. Good luck with the move. I hope it is an exciting wonderful peaceful move, where people will see Nikki, just the lovely beautiful Nikki. The new and improved smokin hot Nikki! Hugs0

You need to use some commas.
nikki the last i checked the price of rice in china was somewhere around 15 cwt i'm glad you share what you're thinking it's all about who you are0 -
Congrats on the weight loss! 190 pounds is a huge deal!
I've only lost 20 pounds but I get the same thing. Like last friday I went to a BBQ with some people from our church and when I asked my mom if we were going to the gym tomorrow because I ate way to much and was stuffed, the choir director who was sitting next to me goes Oh but Diane theres a huge desert table.. Did you see it? and your going to have some right? I wanted to smack myself in the forehead. and slap her!
Hoping that the move goes smoothly and that you make some awesome new friends who get to know you for you!0 -

Oh...good cause I was about to go there but you beat me to it! You were nicer though
To the OP. Girl I know what you mean about all the little comments. You would think I looked like one of the kids on those feed the children tv commericals. I'm not in the healthy BMI range nor is my Body Fat% where it needs to be so I can't be as skinny as they make it seem. I have a ways to go.
Just ignore it with a smile and do what you think is best for you. You are the only factor in this situation that matters.0 -

I'm with you, my weight loss journey is between MFP, and me. I get my motivation and validation here, otherwise this is a very personal journey. Not necessarily open for broadcast.0

You need to use some commas.
Yes.
Someone pours their heart out about something important to them and several of you have nothing more to say than to point out a lack of punctuation?0 -

No seriously, I started to read the post with the intention of offering support, but I actually couldn't understand it because it had no flow. You don't have to use commas, you could just split it up.
Like this.
Would make it easier to read.
At least then I'd know where one sentence started and another one ended.0 -

again thanks to those who have true intentions of offering a shoulder:flowerforyou:0 -
190 lbs is a wonderful loss! Good for you for disreguarding the mean comments from people around you......and from silly posters on this site! (incorrect use of punctuation, I know)
I'm still a big girl, but I have people telling me that they think I am losing too fast. My comment to them is "My doctor says I am doing a wonderful job, but thank you for the concern!" I think that as long a medical professionals who know you and know your situation say you are fine, then it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks! Most people are unhappy with themselves and choose to pick on others......or NICK PICK (I think that is a great play on words.)0 -
I commend you on your success and can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have such negative support in your life, constantly questioning your journey. From what I understand a lot of people are looking for a quick fix and don't want to hear about how you made the hard choice to say no, or to work your big butt off into a tiny butt.
You look absolutly gorgeous and I wish you all the best on your new start and hope it brings you nothing but happiness!0 -

So true, so true. (in regards to the 'you are mean' statement).
To the OP, amazing job!!!! 0 -
Congrats on your success. I lost the majority of my wright about three years ago and it is really cool to have a few friends that didnt know the big Ang. I still have some people tell me I don't need to lose anymore but amazingly those people are the ones that new me big. It's hard for people to take in the big changes. Good luck on your move and your bee beginnings!0

pinkmoon, your heart and soul always comes through in your posts, and your success is evident, and you have been a consistent and supportive MFP friend. So screw the punctuation. I'll take sincerity over grammar any day.0

I've been fat and I've been thin. One thing that always blew my mind was other people's reactions / responses to how MY body appeared. When I was "fat", everyone had to teach me "how to eat better". When I got thin, I was "too thin" --- just like how you're experiencing. The bottom line was that I started to think really hard about how the shape and size of MY body seemed SO IMPORTANT to OTHER PEOPLE!! AS IF IT WAS THEIR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! First I'm too fat, then too thin, would I EVER be "just right"? And, obviously, I'm making everyone uncomfortable *somehow*.
It made me think of all the starlets in hollywood who are focused on by the media "SHE'S TOO THIN!" "Oprah gains wait back" or whatever. All that constant gauging of OTHER PEOPLE'S WEIGHT -- especially WOMEN's weight -- is a way to keep women "in line" so to speak; it's a way to keep people "under control". You know, "don't get too big for your britches"-type stuff. "Don't get COCKY". Stay in your place (in the shadows). Don't claim your place in the sun (in fact, how DARE you? Who do you thnk you are anyway?).
see what i mean?
anyway--- the truth of the matter is that when you change yourself, other people are thrown off. Who cares! Throw 'em off! 0 -
I understand how you feel. The fat life is over for you and you just want to forget that time of your life (where your weight is concerned). A fresh start sounds like just what you need.
You are an amazing inspiration. I'm in awe by what you have done.0
