It never ceases to amaze me how differently I get treated at a size 6 versue my old 14s. My co-workers and others treat me so much better. I am not invisible any longer! It would seem that a size 6 opinion is worth more than a size 14 one 
My family, OTOH, treats me like crap. All they want to talk about is how "unhealthy" I look and what I don't eat. They don't see that I am healthier, happier and that the pain in my knees is gone. They seem totally threatened by me and I tend to avoid them most of the time which is really sad.
My SO LCs most of the time but lately has been off plan which makes is all the harder at those family gatherings as I was the only one LCing. The very clear message was "you don't need to diet, you need to GAIN" (as in be fat like they all are) At the last gathering, in a restraunt I go to a lot, my step mother actually yelled at me "Just what size ARE those pants anyway" As if it is her business?!?!?!?  I didn't tell her.
It really is true what they say about you can pick your friends......
Have a great day
