Hi there, you are beautiful, you're doing great and you need to always remember the man that went with you stepping thats there with you every day loves you dearly. I am certain you do, but it's that kind of support you need to focus on.

I know it's hard, as I grew up in a family where my mother was the one that would say things like that. ****, once she said to me, well nobody will know you're pregnant you just look fat. It hurt me then, but I laugh now.Why? Because I realize anytime someone says something negative, or that nakes you think they must be sitting there watcing telly and licking wall paper, it's because determination intimidates some people. You getting up, when they are sitting there, frightens them.

I had a neighbor yesterday when I went to the store,,,,say,,,why arent you doing your evening run instead of shopping, thats not going to help you. Well I wasn't because I am going through induction flu and crashed yesterday afternoon and I am likely not going to excercise today. Anyway,,,point is, people can be nutty and inconsiderate.

When they ask you things like that...or say things like that, just come right out and say...how about asking me how I'm feeling,,,,or telling someone that saying things like that really hurts you. Over the years, I have developed a polite mouth on me. I just come right out and say what I think. You have the right to be healthy, you have the right do it without being made to feel bad ,,,,and you are just fantastic!

Good job on your new healty choices.,,take one day at a time and you will be where you want!
