Losing too much

My mother told me I am losing too much weight, and really dont look right. I'm really sad about this, She knows how unhappy I was fat. She wants me to stop exercising. I do have loose skin, and I'm comfortable with my loose skin. I know exercising has played a part in keeping it minimal. Plastic Surgery may not be in my future, and I'm ok with that, I just want to love the skin I'm in ( minus almost one hundred pounds of fat).I know everyone is used to the plus size Donya, why cant they get use to the regular size Donya ~sigh~

I am told that I look gaunt because my face is so thin. I have also been told that I look sick but I feel good and I can walk like I never could before. I think people are sometimes jealous of our success. As long as we feel good and our blood tests are good, we are fine. Keep up the good work and just smile and tell everyone you feel good. I have lots of hanging skin too but who cares. Hugs, Esther

Thank You Esther, I do feel good. I will definitely take your advice and smile, and tell everyone I feel good!

Give them time. Everyone will get used to your new body as much as you have had to get used to it.

I hope so, sometimes the hurtful comments upset me, I guess its not just an adjustment for me, but everyone close to me as well

Hang in there Donya. My grandmother asked me the other day if I'd lost too much. I have 16 lbs until my surgeon's goal and 21 lbs until my goal. They're so used to me being the "fat one" that they just can't deal with the new, "almost normal" me. I know I'll hear it next week. My in-laws LOVED to comment about my weight and my husband's weight. They'll be surprised because *I* will be the smallest one in the room! Keep doing what you're doing. Exercise is good for everyone! Not just those who are losing weight. If it's hard for *us* to get used to our new bods, just imagine how weird it is for those who love us. You're doing great!!!!! You look beautiful! * Cyndi *
