Who is supported 100% or not at all, I am not :(

I'm so sorry you feel like you're not being supported, but you have a great community in MFP where most everyone will be supportive! As others have said, do this for YOURSELF and you will succeed. If you do it for anyone else, you will be let down. Good luck - you can do this!

Ahh geez. I get this all the time from EVERYONE!

When i told my MIL about mfp and my goal to lose 100 lbs, she brings up donuts. SERIOUSLY.
My coworkers are like "Noooo - consider your bone structure...just lose 50 lbs and you will be good! (which would put me at 200lbs!! still obese!)

In my past attempts, this has happened all the time.

I think some people subconsciously sabotage others when it comes to success...and with weight - i find people who are also insecure with their weight, tend to sabotage more than others who are comfortable in their self esteem.

my boss brought up 3xs at work how i cheated and had a hot dog with all the fixing, like enough already I KNOW,,,and i told her i had a interview with little ceasars shes like ...oh the food there is so bad, dont do it,, it seems she has no faith in me, caus im big i will fail,, now i feel more than ever to prove her butt wrong

I'm supported, but then I'm not. My mom thinks I'm crazy (as she loads margarine all over her food and tells me that she DOES eat healthy). My husband questions my motives, tries to sabotage my diet, tells me my butt is going to be too small... My sister has recently dropped a bunch of weight using over the counter pills and has gotten a TON of attention. I needed my wedding dress altered down two whole sizes four months ago due to good old dieting and exercise but no one seemed to notice. I'm 174 lbs. at 6' tall... that's the FIRST TIME I've been able to say that in my adult life and NO ONE can take that away from me! I gained over 100 lbs. during my pregnacy in 2008 and it is about darned time I look good! For me! For my son! For whoever the hell else wants to care! But darn it, FOR ME!!! *breathe* lol! Girl, get it! Get it for YOU! You've got us! Add us on here, read our feeds, view our food diaries, DO WHAT IT TAKES TO DO YOU! You've got all the love and support right here. I'm SO glad I've actually been reading the forums here. These people are so inspiring, so motivational, and you're included in that!!!

im not either. my boyfriend is always buying me soda and candy and junk and its too tempting. whenever i tell him im going to the gym i get a "nooo hang out with me lets get wings instead" and he is skinny so he just doesnt get it.

If you cant find it at home this MFP is here for you! I get the yeah rights and you never finish anything speech. BE THE EXAMPLE let yourself SHINE GIRL! The best thing I have learned you have to lose weight for yourself and LOVE YOURSELF. Dont let your family be the trigger of your sadness. I break sometimes and dont log in and eat like poop but the best thing is I DONT GIVE UP I will try again and again. I DO NOT DIET. I EAT HEALTHY. Just move and groove and try new things it will come and the support will follow and (a little bit of envy for your ego lol) If they are family they should love you through and through. And if you believe in God he is always with you.

Trying to get fit is hard enough, but if people aren't supportive or sabotage you it's just that much harder. Don't let other people discourage you. If your husband is fit ask him to work out with you or take a walk. Then remind him that aside from you, he is one of the people who will benefit the most from a healthier, slimmer you. You aren't alone though. If you need a little encouragement we are here. I'll celebrate a 1/2 pound loss, or even a 'not a gain' with you as much as a 10 lb loss!

you have to do it for yourself, and not based upon the support your getting, but it would be awfully nice to have more support on my end too. That's why this site is so wonderful! x

I don't really, I live with my partner and we live at his parents at the minute. His mum who is on a diet constantly buys crap for the Rest of the house and it's not just hidden away in the cupboard it's out everywhere I go, every room. She knows its hard for me as I love sweet foods but she still buys it. No one is making me eat it but no one is supporting me by constantly displaying in my face.

Being overweight was always so embarrassing to me, so when I began this journey I made a concerted effort not to talk about it. I DO have support at home, my husband is completely there for me. But I, rather we, knew this was my thing, I would need to motivate myself and make choices according to what I really wanted. I made the decision that I would not change things for anyone or expect them to accommodate me...part of the challenge I felt I was facing included realistic living, no specialty foods, etc. So I made dinners for my family as usual and modified my portions, planned what I could eat throughout the day, carved out a consistent exercise schedule, etc. I realized I would have to make concessions and I did. I had some fun with it...noticing people at work checking out what I was eating for lunch but never saying anything...clearly they were curious! I was obviously losing weight but no-one, and I mean NO-ONE said a word, for months! It was not until I lost nearly 70 pounds that someone finally said something! You just have to realize that others are threatened when you change...it's forcing them out of their comfort zone. But ride it out, it's so worth it when you meet goals, regain your health, and begin to like what you see. People accept you in the new format. At the end of the day, it comes down to what you want for yourself and what you are willing to do to make it happen. No-one can do that for you....they can't give you the will or take it away if it's your desire. Believe in yourself.

You can do this, but you have to do it for you. Just let your actions be your words and when you need to use words LOG ON! You got a lot of good advice from the MFP family, request lots of friends for the support you need. Maybe you can request friends close to where you live and make exercise dates at parks or school tracks or even the YMCA. You are a beautiful lady no matter what your size. God says you are fearfully and wonderfully made, when humans are negative, look at yourself through His eyes. He also says your body is a temple so care for it as such. You are on the right road, don't let someone else derail you, ultimately you are resposible for everything about you whether it be allowing someone else to abuse you to your physical health to your spiritual health. Stay focused!

It took me A LONG time to realize I needed to do this for ME!!! I have had many past relationships where I have been made to feel terrible and I tried to diet for THEM....did not work. This time I do have a supportive husband but I didn't do it for him, I did it for me. This is soooo easy for me because I want it for me and cute clothes If you want to add me as a friend, feel free. The more friends on here the better I have over 100 pounds to loose. I am 15 pounds lighter then I was 48 days ago You can do this!!!!

I felt that way a little to. I feel like I'm in this by myself. Everyone else is eating what they want and frying foods. Sometimes when people say I look good and i start to talk about it it's almost like they start zoning out or look disinterested. How rude. Now I barely talk about it because I feel like I'm bothering people. My bf is trying to be supportive by not cooking or buying certain things, but I just wish he was doing it with me that's all but I guess people do things in there own time.
