sor some reason I just remembered something i wanted to mention... the other day I told my H how I was doing on the scale and he said "good job your almost there... you only have like 5 pounds to go.".. I just stared at him.. he thought that i just wanted to get to 175... approximately where i was when we met.. when i didnt seem to agree he seemed a little nervous and how much i was planning to lose... i told him i was trying to get to about 150... in reality id like to be closer to my reccommended bmi at around 135 but id probably be happy with 150-140..
He really doesnt want me to lose more weight.. he doesnt want me to be "to tiny" or "like a stick"... he says he might not be as attracted to me if im too skinny... so now i poke fun at him and call him a chubby chaser as a way to make the subject not to tense... i think im going to start keeping my weight to myself... who knew it would be because i dont want someone to think im too thin?
This is too bad in some respects, and also the reason why some of us are using this forum as a means of support.
It seems sometimes that the people in our lives who are closest to us, can also be the ones who can be occasionally insensitive or jealous, sometimes that unconsciously sabotage our efforts etc.
I don't generally think it is a conscious thing (although in some cases...), but in the end, we all have to do what works for us. Those people in our lives who, for whatever reason, have been in some way discomforted in the short run by what we are doing, need to accept that we are doing this to better ourselves. If they truly care enough for us, then this should not be a problem, but, sometimes it takes a little getting used to.
BTW, I know I've got a reputation here sometimes (I wonder why?

) But honestly? Cassie, you are truly beautiful. I can only imagine what kind of drop dead knockout you're going to be once you get where you want to be.
Take that as a compliment, pure and simple.
