HER POST
Once the weight loss bug hits and folks start seeing a change in themselves and that they do have the will power to stick to it they keep going until they look like bobble heads. Its a fear that sets in that they never want to go back to being a plus sized person anymore so they keep losing rather than dealing with self-esteem issues! True and good weight loss is not only dealin with the physicality of it but the mentality of it as well! Identify your real issues first and then you will successfully keep it off and at a good weight! #my2cents

MY REply
 lets agree to disagree and i respect your opinion , as for me who is on a diet and so far lost 38 pds I would say this some people do have low esteem, but in my case I never had low self-esteem big is beautiful, I was beautiful... at 238 and am still beautiful at 200 and I know I will be beautiful at 150, I decided to get better for health reason having diabetes and high blood pressure was a no for me, both my parents have diabetes, my dad died from it and when my doctor told me I was pre diabetic and had mild pressure and i needed to lose weight, I decided I had to change my eating habits, I refuse to let unhealthy food take my ass out lol so I decided to get healthy and I don’t regret it, But I still love my plus size sister.
then she reply : Peeches hey darlin! Not looking for agreement or disagreement just stating an observation I've made! I myself am also a plus sized woman and am quite HAPPY IN MY SKIN! I've been on the weight loss treadmill my entire life and I'm persona...lly tired of it. Even the healthiest of individuals die so Im not a huge proponent of what is being "SOLD" in terms of ones HEALTH! Being healthy is a state of mind! Stress kills more people than Obesity! I have a genetic line that is wreaked with Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and the list goes on and on. I have NONE of it and I find it to be a major blessing. Can ives last longer if everyone ate healthier or went to the doctor more (sidenote: I am really starting to believe that doctors arent truly healers but rather Guardians of Death) I cant say! What I can say is this: My belief in GOD tells me that no matter what I do or how I live when HE decides to call me HOME I have no choice but to go and no diet or anything else will spare me from that calling! So I will live life not worried about what others think or feel about me or my size becuz at the end of the day the only ONE who matters is my Father above and that HE sees that I lived my life according to HIS will! Good luck on your journey sweetheart and much love to you!!!

In my sweetest, Southern tone "Bless her heart". . . I hope she never ends up taking 10-15 meds a day to control, treat, alleviate her obesity related illnesses/conditions all for the sake of knowing that God will call her home when He's ready.

I truly believe God has my day picked out. I just decided 1) TO NOT rush him 2) to enjoy every day without the blasted obesity holding me back and sucking the quality of life right of me.

Sadly, her insulting people choosing health(her bobblehead comments) is proof that she has her own issues with staying fat. It has nothing to do with my self-esteem or lack there of.

Due to her "genetic line" of death door disease/conditions, you'd think she'd rather slide into the pearly gates cheering and saying I led a great, fun-filled, life not riddled with obesity related issues.

She'll choose a donut and being fat over a healthy physical and spiritual life.

Need someone remind gluttony is definitely not something God smiles upon since she decided to get all Holy roller.

To put it plain and simple her post reakes of ignorance and Jealousy. It's obvious!
I would quietly avoid her...why?  becauseI hate negativity.

 I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

In my experience people who send things like this, or say them behind your back, are really talking more about their own insecuritues than what they perceive in you.  People tend to pick out the traits in others that they see in themselves.  The pissier they get about them in others is the more they fear the same traits in themselves.

This is also something the you see in groups of friends with weight issues.  One person starts losing and the others are afraid they will be left behind or somehow less once their weight loss is complete.  Your friend might be feeling like you are not going to like her or be her friend after you reach your goal.

In the end, though, you know why you are doing this.  You know what the benefits of it are.  You don't owe anyone but yourself any justification.  Just take strength from the fact that you are confident in your decision just as she is confident in hers.

Agreed! This is 100% about her and has little to do with you. It's partly envy and partly self-hatred . You know those people who are so insecure that they come across as braggarts because they overcompensate? This strikes me as the weight loss version of that.

If she's so happy and content with her weight why is see being critical of those that choose to lose weight?  She sounds like a hater!
