Hey everyone, I hope what I am about to say makes sense. I am currently at 288 pounds and seem to be losing pretty quickly and I keep getting flashbacks to a couple of years back when I weighed 199. I remember thinking at that time, I have to go to weightwatchers and even when I was attending the meetings, nothing clicked. I didn't see myself losing the weight, going down on the scale and I didn't see it happening fast. Possibly because weightwatchers advocates a 1-2 pound loss a week, I estimated it at 6 months, however it seemed like a loooooong time and felt like it was NEVER going to happen. And now I'm almost 90 pounds heavier and my head is changing. It's like I just know the weight will come off. My only concern is, I will reach that 199 mark and have those same feelings come right back to me from the past....if that makes any sense? Also it's so strange how I'm heavier but more positive that the weight will come off. I'm not sure if this is making any sense but did any of you have those times where you were lighter than now and realistically would only take a few months to get to goal but the mind just completely blocked that off and made it all negative, making it seem like it would never happen. It's so strange how I'm at my heaviest but I'm positive the weight will come off...

Hi everyone, I guess I am just curious to see how other people have treated you now you are losing or have lost weight. How do family/friends or acquaintances talk to you? Are you shocked, happy, saddened? And has it changed any of the dynamics in those relationships?
