Welcome to the forum and to the Triple Digits Club, HoneyBare!

I'm happy for you that you've made the decision to get healthy. Speaking from experience, it's a wonderful gift to give to yourself and your loved ones.

Thanks too for sharing the story about the insensitive co-worker. I'm sure that most of us in the TDC have a story or two like that in our past. All I can say is that people like that are bitter and unhappy with themselves which is why they lash out at others. Try like hell to let that hurt from those comments go. There's nothing productive, positive or good in hanging on to that memory. Sure, you can pull it out later and enjoy it while you're basking in your success, but for now, push any negative thing like that away from you--along with carbs!

Good luck!

Donald
