Frustrated
Tass I think the panties sound like a great idea.
Do you think your friends are really concerned about you? They are so used to seeing you one way and then this drastic change- maybe they are really worried.
As for the boyfriend not noticing, well it has it's advantages. DH does not pay attention to anything I do, but I can buy all the new clothes I want and he is clueless!!! Of course I need more shopping money....
Can you eat cheese? I love cheese maybe that could be one of your snacks.

I think they are concerned because we have lost a lot of friends to cancer. Just in the last seven or so months 2 good friends died from cancer. The funny thing is neither of them really lost weight but both were diagnosed pretty shortly before they passed. I know they are worried but it scares me to think that they think I am so sick I may die.
I love cheese and add it to everything I can, eggs, chili, whatever I bake if I can add cheese I will. I have several pounds in my fridge right now waiting to be used.

I love the padded butt and leggings idea.
I only had 1 person on FB tell me I was too skinny - and that person hasn't seen me in person in over 35 years! I wondered "how does she know"???? Of course I did get the "you're not going to lose anymore weight are you?" and the "you'll fly away" comments. Of course I don't get those anymore...
Not sure what Jen's Glucerna is - you may want to check it out?
It sounds like you're doing the right things, especially if you haen't lost anymore weight.

I checked out the Glucerna. It is supposed to be a drink like Boost or Ensure but for diabetics so it doesn't have so much sugar. I wasn't impressed with the stats. I can get more from my protein drinks, especially if I add in fruit. I guess I figure if I am going to drink that many calories I may has well get in a lot of protein.

Thank you Mandy. I agree. Whatever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.'? I know they aren't trying to be mean but it really isn't any ones business any more then it was when I was overweight. If I had health issues I wanted to make public I would. What really bugs me is if they are talking this way to my face I can imagine what they say behind my back. I mean, I love my friends but I know how we are. We talk and we gossip. All in the guise of helping. I hate the thought that I have been a topic for them.

I actually have a sore on my tailbone from lack of padding. Those underwear will really be helpful in more ways then one.
I did have one friend that I saw after a while who said to me "Oh my God, what happened? You are so fat." I couldn't believe she said that but she is that kind of person, blunt and direct. When I saw her recently she made a comment about my weight and I said to her, "you can't be happy, before I was too fat and now I am too thin". She denies every saying that! Like I would make that up. Unfortunately, like many, I remember every hurtful thing that has ever been said to me.
