Restless, don't let others get in the way of your goals. Do this for you! You don't have anything to prove to us. Despite having come in contact w/ negative influences, there are others here that are more supportive. If there is anything you need, please let us know. We will be there for you when you need. 

My hope for you si that you will not be able to wear thaat soon...as it will be too small. Hang in there with us and we will all get through this. 

Believe it or not I can spell despite the way that looks. Proofread, Linda, Proofread. 

well girls you are absolutly right! but i have to say the rejection was great for my work out i went from a 20 min pace to a 16.4 min pace lol so i guess they did me a favor! how ever we are all suffering from our weight and have had to deal with rejection and being unable to do the things we want because of our weight i just didnt expect the same treatment from some one who i thought would be more open minded and understanding guess it just goes to show not all fat people have good personalities... 

restlesshope, if you need anything just let us know. We are here to support, motivate, and help in any way we can!! Everyone has different ways that they are motivated to lose weight. For me negative reinforcement never has and never will work. It reminds me too much of all the hurtful, painful things that people have said through the years, in the hopes that they were "helping" me. The only thing they helped me do was get fatter!! So welcome to the positive side of Atkins. As Linda said, soon that suit will be a thing of the past, because you will be too small for it!!! And never be embarassed about what you look like. It is what's on the inside that we care about, not whether your swim suit is too small! Let me know if there is anything you need, I will be more than happy to help you in any way I can! 

Well I feel that most women are very competitive and judgemental of other women. Not all, but most. They do not know you. They have no idea just how difficult this can be for some of us. We all have our own issues and if they can't understand that - screw them. Again, do this for yourself. There is a lot of support from those not like them. 

You hit that nail so straight on the head Keli, that it only took one strike to drive it home!! This isn't about a competition, it is about getting healthy and doing what is best for you and your body! 

Unfortunately, those that make themselves feel better by trying to make others feel bad are everywhere, definitely here on fatsecret, although there are a lot of great, supportive people as well. Glad for your perseverance!  

Let me just say you look better than I would in that bathing suit. I should take a picture of my legs for you guys just to scare you! I agree with Keli & Stef, there are alot of really caring & supportive people on here. I have never once had anyone say something negative to me. I have read posts from many others that have had ugly things said to them and to me that is just sad. We are all on here to lose weight & get healthy so why try and make someone feel bad when they are just trying to better themselves? Anyways - good for you for being so brave and strong.
