Agreed on My fitness pal. It gives the calories and Protein and other nutritional facts and you can adjust how much of a serving you ate to get a more accurate estimation Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I work and take classes at a university and many people have seen me around. Today I was getting some yogurt because I forgot to eat before class and one of the guys who work in the cafeteria just stared at me and was like "wow wow wow, I'm single!" Haha and when he rang me up he said "I'm going to make this last as long as I can, I'm speechless" and he gave me my bills one at a time all the people who worked in the cafeteria were telling me how fabulous I looked Then I was in the elevator going back up to the classroom and one of the guys who works here ran to the elevator because the doors were still open and he just kinda kept looking at me and he said "are you the same girl that used to work over at the information center?" And I was like yeah and he was like "you've slimmed down, you look great! Doing an amazing job!" He even got off the elevator and Ben though he was going up another floor to watch me walk away Hahahaha I've never even met him before It is really a confidence booster! This is the first time in a really really long time that guys have kinda flirted with me and it feels amazing because I'm 29 (30 on Saturday!!) and very single haha This made my day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone, Maybe this has been done before but I need some help thinking of some sassy comebacks for this Thanksgiving. Where I'm going my family can have a pretty sharp tongue. When I talk to them on the phone can just say I have to go but I can't do that in person. I know I am sensitive about comments and I need something to reply when they say something. Last time I went to thanksgiving there I spent pretty much the whole time outside crying even though they didn't say anything outright nasty. It's just every time someone came invthey saw me and were like "hey" then they saw my sister and were like "omg, Jessica! You look absolutely amazing! Look at the beautiful young woman you have become. It's so great to see you" she has always been thin. When I talk to my grandmother and Great Aunt on the phone they say similar things like: "Did you ever think you would lose weight?" "How did you ever let yourself get that bad?" "Maybe when you get skinny you'll make more friends." "Once you get thin you'll be beautiful, I won't recognize you." I just know I'm going to have to deal with a lot of insult/compliments. What are some of the things you guys say to things like that? I would really like to be prepared. I've lost 150 pounds since I saw them last.
