I'm lucky, I do what I want to do when and as I want to do it. If I decide that I am going to lose weight, then it doesn't matter what they think or their attitudes towards me are like IN REGARDS to my losing weight.
Dealing with their attitudes and disgusting behaviours however are a completely different matter altogether. I have seen many people over the years work very hard to lose weight or gain something wonderful in their lives and have been very successful about it. I have also seen others then work very hard to malign those people and drag them down as far as they can. Attempts to compromise job relationships, friendships, business relationships. It sounds extreme and utterly ridiculous because that is exactly what it is! RIDICULOUS!
I would rather they be inspired. I would rather they realise that because other people can do it, they can too. But they choose not to and would rather put their efforts into maligning those that do.
Rising above their rubbish can be difficult at times. But I keep on keeping on.

Quote:People get jealous and unpleasant when you lose weight. Very unpleasant. I think that is one of the hardest parts about it.
This statement is bullcrap.
I think what Ryan's trying to say is other people projecting their perceptions and beliefs on to you is bullcrap. I've seen it and it's prevalent in some dystopic families, relationships and communities - but the title should deal with disappointing others before disappointing yourself with regards to weight. No sense in living other peoples' dysfunctions only so they can feel better about their own problems. I am curious to see when and how you let go of what others will be thinking. Go forth!
