 |  Perf hit the nail on the head AGAIN!
Perf posted a warning on one of my threads once. It involved nay sayers..the ones that are dead set against the surgery and their loved ones having it. K, so I had it, my father at first seemed very impressed at the weightloss... almost proud. Now, one must understand Dad is 80. Hes grumpy..and always has been. Its how he loves. My daughter calls him Grumpa, a title he wears proudly. On the day I rached the 100 pound mark , I went to see my parents. Mom is SO SO SO proud. Dad...lost his MIND (or whats left of it). It went something like <insert booming voice here> " JEE....CHR..! YA BETTER START EATING!." Ya no he doesnt get it.
me: dad chill out, i still qualify as obese, have some left on reserve
dad: What quack told you that?
me: numerous international medical boards and affiliates
dad : what the sam hell kinda blah blah blah.......
and on it went.
So, Perf thankyou for the warning you sent me ...i cant find it. I think you should repost that warning...about when your nearing your goal, what some people will start to say.
Good thing is... i guess im getting close!!! Poeple are starting to say alotta stuff like: "well you dont want to lose much more. Right?", " havent you lost enough?", "your big boned. you shouldnt weight much less".
PS... not getting the volvo the old lady's hubby pulled rank, still car shopping.
PPS... dog still ill...shes got "malabsorption" issues (go figure) switched her to HIGH protein diet..now how did i know to do that huh? Shes doing much better now.

LMAO about the dog. Go figure.
Just tell yourself that their comments are because they care. You will know when you are getting too thin, but they don't realize it. I think partly it's because we all tend to look a bit haggard at first because of the loose facial skin and people think we are sick. LOL I still get people telling me to not lose any more and I've been stable since December.

First of all I may have missed your Wow on the 100lbs loss so Congrats to that and your new Century banner. Wahoo!
Doesn't it feel good to say you are in the 'overweight' column now? Many of us had posted about reaching overweight because hey it is a wonderful feeling. That's a huge success so enjoy it. Don't let those nay sayers bother you. Believe me I've had them all along my journey.
I did have a new one last weekend....my SIL's mother said to me that I look so much better this summer then last. HUH?!?!?! I asked her what she meant I was 35 pounds heavier then. She said I just looked sick. Now I have retained for months so many things are started to fill in a little more. So what I'm trying to say is maybe we do look a little unhealthy as we loss rapidly but we feel great so we don't see it. I know I went and tanned in a bed because my mom said I look too pale. The things we do to keep family happy.
Again, Congrats on reaching your loss of 100lbs and getting to 'overweight'.

Im agreeing with Kim on this one. Even though we are smaller this year than last... we look better. The haggard look you spoke of I went though that one to. Oil of olay is my friend. I seen my best friend who had this done a couple years before myself go though it to. I have posted before while in a stall your body kinda puts stuff where its supposed to go? Dont make sense but im a true beliver in that.
Did you tell your dad what you weigh now? Have you always been a big girl? My own dad years ago when I lost weight went nuts when I got down to 220. He said on a body like mine losing anymore just looked bad on me. WHen telling him what I weighed he said mmmm im 6'4 and weigh 206. He never said any more. You dad loves ya. The next time you see him you will look different to him then also.
I imagine he will tell you then you look a little better than last time.. He sounds alot like my Daddy used to be He prided him self on The mean face as we called it and the growl. LOL. God i miss that man.
I got alot of the arent you gonna stop losing already 2-4 months ago from my family. Not my husband but my brothers. I got alot of that from my co-workers to. The only ones that dont say nothing is the ones that are super skinny. LOL. Take it all in stride honey. Still laughing at the Grumpa thing LOL. We used to ask the kids my mom baby sit for to give us the Philip Carr look. You outta seen them faces. This is while they were young and didnt know it was a bad thing ! LOL thanks for bringing up that memory to me. Take care girl and meet that goal honey. YOU CAN DO IT!

i am frequently having people say "you're not trying to lose more weight are you" and i say "not really, i am working on maintaining and if a few more pounds come off, that's okay"
as others have mentioned we show skinny in our faces first
~ don't let anyone discourage you from reaching your personal goal

"Obese" is a BMI north of 30. "Normal" starts at 25. "Overweight" is in between, but at a BMI of 26.6, you're not gonna be overweight very much longer!! 
Keep up the good work, and reach for own goals, not someone else's. You've put a lot more thought into those goals than they have, and you're the one who has to live in that body, not them!!
