Topic: RE: I am down 100 pounds!
Great Job Elisa!! I am down one hundred also, but keep fluctuating a couple pounds so I can't say I've actually "Arrived" yet... but close!! Isn't it a great feeling? I would like to lose 20 or 30 more also, but I feel it's going to be a struggle. The good thing is that I"m acutally living life though... something I was not doing a year ago. I can eat pretty much what I want in small amounts so I never feel deprived and I am keeping up with my exercise/vitamins/water... so even if I stay where I am I feel I'm doing pretty good.
Congratulations!!! What a great accomplishment!

Topic: RE: Just sharing a nice story...
Gee Alice.... I think after this time I'd be stomping on both of them (verbally of course..maybe lol). I would have to ask "what is your problem"? I had trouble particularly with one co-worker. I would have my Mp3 player on and she would say what are you listening to? A tape saying..dont eat dont eat dont eat. Stuff like that. At first I would laugh it off then I lost my temper and asked her just what her problem was. She is also bigger than me..a lot bigger. She looked like I had slapped her in the face then burst out crying saying she was so sick of being fat. I have found the 'worst' people are the big people - and you know what? That's their problem - you don't have to wear it. I have had trouble with my mother (who has never been fat) who would continually tutt and shake her head at me. Just yesterday she commented that my face was getting thin. So I responded by saying..mum, I don't have to take blood pressure or diabeties medication anymore, I am much healthier..aren't you happy for me? She didn't know what to say. If you have other supportive family members I would be getting them to tackle the sister in law....especially your brother. Or simply dont be around her if you can possibly avoid it.
No one should be negating the brave step you have taken and the hard work you have done. Just remember to ask yourself who has the problem - you don't. 
Good luck,

I have a sister in law who every time she gets around other family members she makes it a point to say just so I can hear it that I took the easy way out. She is bigger than I am. She mainly says it when some one comments about my weight loss. I tell her I don't see anything easy about what I had done. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Of course she is always negative. She was very mean on Easter to me as she grazed on candy for the biggest part of 2 hours. She kept asking me if I could eat one kind or another when I told her no she would pop it in her mouth and say wow thats to bad. I have the same problem with a co-worker her face turns red and she won't talk to me for a couple days after someone comments on how good I am doing. I ask alot if something is Sugar Free because I get very sick when I have sugar, she alway says Yes there is sugar in it quit asking and get over it. Why are people like that I wonder. A few of the ladies I work with (the above co-worker included) all joined Weigh****chers, they all come back from weighing in and I am always supportive of them. I don't think I have it in me to be that cruel. Thanks for letting me vent.
