Wow, what an interesting topic. I found myself nodding along with many of these posts. I am also one that feels more comfortable sharing this journey with people near my own size but, I'll take general LC advice from anyone.

The thing that really gets my goat is when thinner people say it is just as hard for them to lose their weight as it is for me to lose mine. I'm thinking to myself are they CRAZY??? I have to do their incredibly hard thing EIGHT TIMES and they think that's the SAME????

I'm not saying it isn't hard for them, but it's certainly not the same as what I'm dealing with.
