The fact that all these comments in regards to someone's body weight are all related to them is GOLD. I always wonder why so many people have a word to say about others' body weight or appearance. I never make such comments on people, even if I notice a change. I will try the ignorance technique to see if it works. Thank you for the advice.
I cannot, I repeat, CANNOT believe this video exists. Thank you so much for speaking about this subject. Even if I found it years later it was posted, this is exactly what I needed and have needed for YEARS. Thank you :) Cheers from Perú!
This is great! I get the snide remarks from future mother-in-law. I hope you're looking healthier next time we see you. Oh, you don't need to be eating that do you? Having been at both ends of the spectrum (morbidly obese to athletic and slim) and now trying to find a happy medium I am finding it extremely detrimental.
Oooohhh that's a tough one isn't it. I wonder what strategies may help solve this? Maybe a sit down conversation where you explain what you have here to her - or maybe getting your "force field" up so you can ignore it. Thanks for sharing :)
Watched with interest (more than usual). I've dropped a few kg this year. All of a sudden things have fallen in to place for me. I have found a form of exercise that I just love (pilates) to the point where a career change to become an instructor is spinning around in my head, I have found an eating style that works for me (semi vegetarian if that exists), virtually alcohol free and I'm feeling happy about some things. Result had been weightless - Even though the scales matter a lot less, new clothes sizes have indicated where I am is working. Yet just one comment from a "friend" when I remarked that nothing fit me anymore, sent me in to a spin. It was like "so you think you're so much better than me because I haven't changed"? I felt guilty and self absorbed. Just because I had found a way that suited me, made me healthier and happier and resulted in unexpected losses. I had no idea how to deal with it so I chose to remove myself from the connection. There had to be a better way but I had no idea what it should be.
I'm glad you liked it Margaret! It is very interesting how people can respond. Hopefully the video helped you with a few ways to deal with it (and anything else that may come up too)!

I put my Aunt in her place when she made a comment about my weight gain
Thank you so much
By the way your hair looks amazing
Great video, I enjoyed watching it! Btw: your eBook is awesome...
Thank you!!! And double thanks about the e-book - we keep asking people for feedback, but people just like it, which is SO NICE! :-)
