Count me in. Currently 82.6kg (180 lb)

25. Feel free to add me!

That's so terrible! I'm so sorry that happened to you! My friends atm are still in denial about me losing weight. Partly because half of them are my size and partly because some feel like admitting that I am obese would be a grave sin somehow. So I get the comments about how I'm great as I am too. I tell them I'm not happy…

A guy telling me he'd sleep with me if I was thin is not looking out for me, its negging. A teenager smirking at me as she critiques my smoothie choice is not looking out for me either. The girl in the elevator who wouldn't look me in the eye, I could accept as being worried, by a very thin hair. Look, I use it as a source…

I agree. It's all well and good to have a fantastic comeback, but I'd still love to find a way to not feel upset by it. Still, at least my response base has increased! Thanks to this thread I have so many more things to say! I can't believe the nerve of the person who told you they were saying that because no one else…

Well that's horrible...

I'll add you! I'm in it for the long haul. I'm 25 and a working student.

I'm sorry that happened to you

That's terrible!

I love it!

That's terrible. I hope you haven't had random strangers try to rub your stomach. I went out with my pregnant friend and rhe amount of people who thought they could just touch it was boggling.

A naked cowboy? Much more worthy of discussion!

I'm from Australia. Usually people here are fantastic but we do have our bigots and public warriors.

I'm in Australia. It doesn't happen too often here usually but I just moved cities.

I am a student doing law and business. I used to give myself a couple of snakes everytime I finished a chapter. Now I have a motivation Playlist. Every 20 minutes I stop and listen to one. Youtube has some great motivational amv. Then, every hour I go for a walk outside and enjoy the sun or cold air. I make a conscious…

It's terrible to say, but I'm glad I'm not the only one this has happened to! It seems like every time I mention an interaction like this to someone 'normal' they look at me like I'm crazy. I might do what you do, and give a blunt, polite reply instead of pretending I didn't hear. I can't believe what some people say! An…

Thank you! I'll take your advice and do that now. :smile:

Brilliant, send me a FR! Fingers crossed you get a DVD player soon!

Haha! Thank you so much! I'm going to try and find a group, literally right after posting this. Thank you for the advice and inspiration. :smile: The advice on measuring rather than weight is brilliant!

Thank you. :smile: I've been told that before, but growing up in a family of perfectionists made it pretty hard to recognise small victories. Especially a family of perfectionists with a high metabolism and no need to worry about weight. Except for me. I'm working on it though!

I thought MFP was a good place to start. :smile: It's the first time I've actually joined though. Everybody seems so positive here.

Thank you! All the best to you too!

Thank you very much. I think you are right about setting small goals. In the past, that was one of my biggest problems. I wanted to lose weight instantly. I've set myself a realistic final goal this year, which I think will make a difference. As for self-motivation, I'll keep working hard at it, but sometimes I've eaten a…

This is the same with me. I keep trying, and now its gotten to the point where they practically roll their eyes and make 'mmhmm' noises. This year I'm just going to do it.

Please add me too. This is the year I've decided to finally lose the weight and actually become strong and fit. I need to lose about 12 kg.
