It is something how we allow other people to derail us…I am not a very strong person and I’m easily affected by others’ emotionally, so when folks would say wacky things to me about losing weight I’d take it to heart. Now I’m feeling/becoming stronger and more secure about myself and my choices. I know it’s their issue, not mine. I don’t have to stay overweight for anybody.

My mother told me I should stop losing weight because I need lots of extra fat in case I get sick and have to have a long hospital stay.
Um, what???
I just told her, well I can’t stop losing weight, because I don’t overeat anymore and I exercise. Do you really want me to overeat and stop exercising?
