Feelings hurt...

Keep shopping for a trainer. There are good Ones who will support you in thIs journey.

Welcome to the lightweight board.

Yeah, we all get the "why don't you just diet the weight off?" Oh and my personal favorite..."you aren't big enough to need surgery."

One thing this journey helps us do is grow a thicker skin...and learn to either ignore the stupid falling out of people's mouths or learn good comebacks that shut them up.

I was REALLY good at losing weight...been doing that since I went on my first diet at 12 years old. I was horrid at keeping it off. I am now 2 1/2 years out and haven't dieted since. I DO watch what I eat as it's protein first and mindful of fluids/carbs/ and fats.
