Your post made me smile. Congratulations and glad you shared your happiness with us!

i got one for you.....
i was at 143#...My husband said... so, how much more weight do you want to lose. I said, i don't know.. i guess about 10-20 # ... why i asked.... he said... because your starting to look like a bag of bones...and your face is starting to wrinkle....
my best friend said... chris you need to stop, your face is sinking in...

Teens are pretty selfish.. they aren't concerned with our health just how much "fun" they have. I wouldn't worry much about those comments.. they don't understand the struggle especially if she is a size 3... You might remind your family that you would like to stay around for them and that is why you are trying to do something about your health... but once you start losing I am sure they will be happy for you.. My grandchildren who are teens noticed recently my 40 lb loss.. and they are really happy for me... hang in there..

*hugs* Things are gonna get better every day, don't worry!
