I'm not ashamed of it but it is a controversial subject, especially among average weight people. They just won't understand because their attitude is "just eat less." I will be more than happy to discuss my journey with someone else who might benefit from it, but that's it. Why risk being judged by anyone for something I've done that's harmless to others and none of their business? The gossip / rumor mill is a nasty, vicious circle and it's always looking for fresh meat.

At my peak weight, losing 15 lbs was nothing and I couldn't tell the diff. either. 15 pounds of fat will just about fill a regular pillowcase, so keep that in mind. You're doing fine. Keep it up.

Best wishes for a speedy, painless recovery!

Joni said it quite well. If you've got to eat, so be it, just make sure you eat the right stuff and you'll be fine.

Good for you! And, by the way, you are absolutely correct about discrimination against overweight people. It is highly documented.

I agree!

I think the ugliest chunk of fat that you need to lose is your husband.
This journey is difficult enough WITH family support.
Keep a stiff upper lip. It sounds like you're tough enough to handle it if you have this long. Best of luck.
