Years ago I had lost 70 pounds on my own and went to visit my Grandmother. She had severe dementia and could not remember who anyone was. I sat by her bedside and said "Grandma I am Cindi, do you remember me?" She sat right up and said "But you're not fat!".

My Grandma was about six feet tall and never was overweight, she watched her weight so carefully. Unfortunately, she had a life long habit of watching everyone else's weight and commenting on it. That is the only negative thing I can say about her. She was a wonderful loving woman. Looking back - they knew something back then because she would always say "put those potatoes and the bread back!".

well... will still about 21lb's to lose I have had the following comment thrown at me more than once recently

" you really dont want to lose much more weight, we dont want you to go all anorexic now do we " - as if !!!!! people are so so narrow minded and lack tact !!

Its also the look of horror on peoples faces, when after asking you how you have lost the weight and you tell them Atkins you get the " do you feel ok, bet you havent got any energy, how do you survive on no carbs " Argh !!!!! they drive me insane !!

Guess we just have to smile smugly to ourselves and know that we know we are doing the best thing for us !!
