Hi everyone,
I'm all new to this but all of the posts have really helped me get through my first 2 weeks.
Right so I've been to visit a few friends over my summer holidays and I always get the same response.....' Oh but you don't need to lose any weight'. Does anyone else get this? I also get it from people I work with as well and it really annoys me.
I hate it when people tell me that I don't need to lose weight; they don't live my life, they don't go through the upset when you have to go shopping or go out and nothing fits. They just don't understand. Most of my friends are stick thin girls with skinny legs so they have no idea what it feels like to be 'bigger'. I'm guessing they want me to stay like this so they can feel superior to me, so they will get all the guys on a night out.
And after this I barely go out anymore as I'm fed up of telling people why I'm not eating and why I can't drink, although everyone tries their hardest to get me to eat or drink alcohol. Especially my friend who I spent the last few days with....she was constantly getting me to eat something, chinese food she suggested!
Mmmmm maybe a small rant on my behalf but I just want to know if anyone else goes through this?
Thanks for everyone's support via posts(without you knowing) and keep up the amazing work. It's all so inspiring.
