    In regards to the above post, a friend of mine who had lost weight (before I met her)....she went through the same thing with constant comments, said it took about a year for it stop. I know part of it has to do with folks getting used to this new me, but what gets under my skin is the negative comments, especially when BFF said I was looking anorexic. She often brings up the topic if my weight loss, too the point that it's making me uncomfortable. Next time she brings it up, I am going to let her know how uncomfortable it makes me and hopefully puts an end it to it.

    I want to thank everyone for all your support! Unfortunately I had another bad experience at church yesterday... A man asked me if I was planning on losing anymore weight and I responded, just a little... He told me I shouldn't because I was looking sick.... I wanted to cry! (I did in the car)

    I eat almost 2000 calories a day and can hold my body weight up with my arms.... I am not sick!

    I understand these people have never seen me thin before... But 5'7" 156 pounds is not the numbers of a sick person! I am just so thankful for everyone on MFP! But unfortunately I have to deal with the rest of the world and their ignorance of health and beauty... I guess that is why my Mantra is "Be The Example!" I am making it my goal to show people strong and lean is beautiful! Eating healthy is what everyone should be doing! Regardless of what a scale says!

    God bless you all on your journey thru life!

    CONGRATULATIONS to you on your success! You are not alone, as the comments have shown. You might find it helpful to remember the words a wise friend once told me - one of the original Greek words in the NT translated as "blessed" means "to be envied." When the haters have to run their mouths, remember - they envy you. Keep doing what you're doing, hold your head high, and give yourself a pat on the back for how far you have come. You are truly blessed when you're doing so well that the haters have to make remarks.

    From reading most of these comments, I am encouraged that so many of us on MFP have the right attitude toward weight loss and being fit. This is a great support and motivator. :happy:

    Keep up the good work!
