Name ONE thing....

I agree with you also! I hate having to meet new people! Especially members of my husbands family. His family is very weight conscious and here I am!! I don't really fit in physically.

I completely undersatand. My boyfriend has 2 sisters who are all nearly six foot and super-slim - makes me feel very dumpy!. I think also the worst for me is the little comments people make. Like when you are at dinner and they are offering dessert around and say things like "you don't really need any of this" and when my mother-in-law to be said "you aren't going to get married looking like that, you'll ruin all the photos". I don't think they realise how much comments like that hurt.

Oh my gosh!! I can't believe your future mother-in-law would say that to you. One of my sister-in-laws is slim and the other is 10 so she doesn't really bother me ;). But, his whole family is obsessed with working out and running!! I remember when I first met my husband he was really really thin!! He rained like 60 pounds with me... haha. Most of it was just his build though not all fat because he was underweight to begin with. But, I remember when My now in-laws saw the change and they were like what did she do to you!!! THey're always asking me if I am going to start a new diet or if I am exercising like I should be. I know it's hard not to pay attention to what others say but you really can't let them get to you. Your soon to be hubby loves you for who you are now and that's what's important! Although, when you lose the weight you're trying to (which you most definately will;)) they'll all be jealous of how hot you are. :D
 
Okay... Rubber Duckie, i just looked at how much you weigh. How tall are you? Because you don't really weight that much and for your future mother-in-law to say that to you just seems more wrong now than it did before!
 
I am 5'3" which gives me a BMI (pre-diet) of 29.4. I know thats not massively over-weight but my boyfriends side of the family are all very superficial people who always spend there time getting dressed up nicely and looking good. I am not going to defend them because I was really hurt when she said that, instead I take the harsh comments and turn them into motivation!
 
We'll semi-embarrassing but I want to get professional boudoir pictures done (where you pose in some lingerie). It's not for a boyfriend or anything it's for me. I just want to feel super sexy and put myself in a position where i have to push my bondaries and test my confidence
 
Great thread topic! I snored so loud it was embarrassing. I hoped losing weight would make me stop snoring -- and it did!
