Happy to make a lie out of you if you do not come correct
OK - so this may be really carnal but I love "Fly Above" by Kandi (ATL Housewives). It's my theme song for 2010! She just talks about haters being the wind beneath her wings and they make you fly higher. I promise you........I will let them motivate me as well. Now, I'm getting all the comments about.........that's enough weight loss.........don't lose any more. I still have 40 pounds to get off so..........whatever. I'm flying above all my haters!
We HAVE TO use their hate as fuel, otherwise those comments could work as (sometimes) intended.
Before my surgery, I worked a temp gig with a know-it-all heifer who told me the same kind of thing. She was a size 12 and told me that it would not be possible for me to get down to her size and that I would regain much of whatever I lost!
WTH??? I decided right there that I was done 'sharing' my WLS plans with anyone else outside my immediate family. Good thing that was said while in a professional setting, otherwise I would have told her how I really felt about her 'knowledge'.
Fast-forward to post op... I got to size 10! I regained some (after 5 years out & living a bit too good
) but I've since settled back to a size 12. 
Living good (and proving them completely wrong) is your best revenge.

Two things that people have said to me that were mean but I will use them to motivate me. One because I started with such a high BMI I will probably not make it to goal. Two you will never be a small woman like me and the woman that said it to me was my mother in law. She is a size ten or twelve. Those two things stuck with me more than anything cruel that has ever been said to me about my weight. I will make them liars and be as successful as I want to be. I use my haters as motivators only I can determine how successful I will be.
to your attitude Licia!! be happy, laughter burns calories
