No one likes the "F" word

No one likes the "F" word...and it's not the one you're thinking. FAT is a terrible word for anyone to use when thinking or talking about themswelves or others. The majority of people you meet are uncomfortable with themselves in some way...and one of the things that bothers me the most is when people make comments about you and your weightloss journey. Some examples:

• "But you're not fat" - thanks, I didn't say I was fat, I just want to lose a little weight, tone up and feel good about myself.
• "You have such a pretty face" - thanks (I think), are you saying I should only take pictures from the neck up lol
• "You only lost ___ pounds" - to me any loss is a personal gain; even 0.5 lost is something. Make the most of all of your losses.

There are so many people out there that will try and bring you down...you must decide if you're going to let them. Be strong!
