I don't expect anyone to understand how I live because it's me and what works for me doesn't work for everyone. I think keeping a positive attitude is the best way to go, including with your reactions to negative people. Hopefully they will see a difference in you and want to do that for themselves ;-) I always just laugh because most of the time the people making the comments to me are unhealthy people.

Actually I will be staying at my parents soon, and as much as I love them and am happy to see them, I am kind of dreading it a little bit as they are not really healthy eaters. Also I have been a vegetarian for a few months now and I already know they will try to have me eat some meat, you know, "a couple of bites won't kill you". I don't think they understand now the way I live, eat and exercise (I used to HATE HATE HATE exercising, and they still have the picture in mind I guess). Anyway, thanks for the tips, I will keep them in mind when I go back to France next week! Great post!

I sent Angela an FAQ on this subject that she answered a while ago (no. 222), so it's great to see that I'm not the only one who gets annoyed by other people commenting on my eating habits and telling me I must be anorexic or whatever.

And I mean HOME! My husband is the biggest offender of this and it really makes me sad more than anything. I know he's not doing it to hurt me, and that he's really upset with himself for not having the motivation to eat healthy too. Most of his comments are kind of directed at him and have a pseudo-compliment for me in there - things like 'Jess is doing so well on eating better .. me, I gotta have the burger & fries.' Or he'll randomly pick up pizza for dinner or make a batch of cookies to tempt me. Plus, whenever we go out, he wants to go to the chinese buffet or Buffalo Wild Wings. It's upsetting sometimes and it's sad because I want him to be healthy too! The best thing I can do is lead by example and hope he comes to his senses. Second, I love Brandi's quote about those who mind don't matter! Third, I'm so grateful that I do have some supportive people around me. Since I've been eating healthier and really putting myself out there with how much I've lost and how things are going, a few friends have told me that I'm an inspiration to them. That totally made my day. Not only that, but when I visited my mom, she told me she was proud of me and made sure to tell all her friends and doctors that I'm eating healthy and didn't make it sound bad at all! Last thing (I've rambled for too long), one co-worker saw me today and said "hey, skinny!" ... That was the highlight of my day! First – this definitely hits home for me. And I mean HOME!

Then again I still enjoy a doughnut when I want to without any guilt.
