Am battling with slimming world as some of you know - really trying this time, but I do realise I am at least 2 stone overweight.

I have been this weight for about 10 years give or take 7lb ie I lost 4 or 5 lb and put it back yo ho.
A good friend I was chatting to this morning, saw New Year said I was shocked at how much weight you had put on!
I pointed out that I have n`t!
That remark really hurt me, I know I need to lose weight but not like I suddenly put it all on!!

Though I was very angry with my friend I did try to make light of it and remind her that the Mend group focus on healthy lifestyles would never mention the F word! DP did remind me that she is prone to making tactless remarks . I suppose that because she is my friend I tend to ignore it and DS does get on very well with her.

Well done on sw success so far.. I managed to lose 4 stone and feel great ! Don't fall in to the trap I did and keep wearing larger baggy clothes - it took a good friend to point out I had tried hard to regain a figure and needed to show it off!

i found some people making silly/thoughtless comments along the way , but generally they were the ones who felt a bit
threatened by the fact I was actually succeeding x
