Week 5 of my sister being sleeved and she looks amazing! I'm her cheerleader and soon she will be mine. So when asked by a colleague of mine am I doing this for me or to compete with my sister I wanted to just drop to the floor. It seems like people are so ready to say things and discourage you! We both are at the same school and it's awesome that we are embarking on this journey around the same time. Please pray that I get some tough skin to handle comments. I'm not looking back and I will do this for me and my HEALTH!

Some people say the daftest things but probably don't say it in malace. Just ignore them and know that in a short time you will have the support and guidance of your sister and thats all that matters.

I had one colleague say, "Can't you just diet" which I brushed off by thinking she was just concerned for me and the surgery I was having. Thinking about it from her point of view stopped me being angry with her and since surgery she has been a great deal of support.

Best Wishes.

Tough skin is something you must have in life.... Growing up obese I must say that I formed it at a very young age, ppl are just cruel. Never allow them to break you spirit and lose track of your goals you know why your doing it and that's all that matters. Ignore those ppl and stay focused you'll see the envy in their eyes when you and your sister are walking around head held high flaunting your beautiful bodies : ) The hate is real!!!

Keep Pushing you got this!
