I am so sorry to hear that people are lacking support from their loved ones. I think that's pretty crummy (no pun intended...LOL).

Anyway, like it was said before, you have us here for moral support. We're here if you need us. Maybe trying on the old, loose clothes will prove that you need new clothes. Who wants to go around looking like a schlub? My DH, who is also doing this with me just tried on his dress and suit pants. He was actually able to take them off without unbuttoning them. He was so proud of himself.

Good luck and don't let the turkeys get you down!
