Great post June...hate mail for wanting to lose weight? Betraying the Fat Community? Are you serious? That's crazy!
my decision to lose weight had to do with my health. Mom died from Pancreatic Cancer. She had Type II Diabetes as do Dad and my big brother. i wanted to avoid these things. So far i've dodged the Type II bullet.
A year or so ago i asked my weight loss doc what he set for my goal weight and his response was that his goal for his patients was not a number on a scale rather it was good health.
my journey began in October 2008 at 342.5 lbs. i lost 130, relapsed, lost what i regained, relapsed again, lost what i regained, relapsed yet again and am back on track. (i've managed to keep off 100 of the 130)
If this means i too am betraying the Fat Community so be it...this is for ME. They don't have to live in my body, I DO!!!
