in Introduce Yourself
Hi y'all, I just stumbled onto this site and think it's going to help me a lot in my goals. Just counted my food for the day on the calculator and entered my treadmill activity. Too easy!

I really need to get myself motivated and find it hard when people around me make "friendly" cutting remarks. How does everyone else cope?

    Ignore them! You are doing what you can for you. It's important to pay attention to those that matter, and those who are supportive!

    Welcome! Good luck on your journey!

    Who cares what they think! Do what you need to do and show their *kitten* up which will shut them up for good!

    Misery just loves company...don't let it bother you, obviously it's their issue not yours. Stay focused on being positive and doing good things for you :)

    Ignore them! It is sad when people do that to make themselves feel better about themselves.

    Depending on what the remark is, ignore it or joke back. If it's too bad, ask 'em to stop.

    What I have learned over the years of being this size is that I just do not let people have the power over me anymore. It hurts, but I do not let them see it. Only I can give them the power to hurt me. I am on here several times a day to cheer myself and others on if you want to add me, you can. Good Luck and We can do this !

    I just joined today too after searching for a site like this. Yesterday I hit rock bottom and today is the day, today is the day to prove that we are more than our weight. We are fighters, we are survivors, we are choosing life!
