I want to SCREAM because of the reactions of some of my 'supportive' family members. Last year I had to take steroids for nearly 6 months, which meant I put on weight. Now the drugs are out of my system, I've started to lose weight. Soooo, I lost a stone. 14lbs. Fuckin' awesome in my book! It only took 4 weeks, but that's cos I'm doing it properly and safely (doctor's support) and I'm exercising loads. I've dropped a dress size. I look and feel pretty damned good. So the response from NOT ONE BUT TWO of my female family members.."It's all water...start drinking again and it'll go straight back on" (I drink 1 to 2 litres of water every day, always have done). Or, "don't lose TOO much, you're beginning to look gaunt" (my doc has advised me to lose another 30lbs or so). And the best one: "when you're as big as you are, you always lose it quickly at first". OK, I'm no size zero super-model, but I'm a US size 12. Not exactly a fuckin' elephant! Oh, and the last 2 comments were from the SAME person in the SAME sentence! WTF???!!! Why can't people get it through their thick heads that some of us actually work hard, and have the self-will to refuse things they like for the sake of their health? JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME, DAMMIT!!!! I feel better now
