By the sounds of it not it ' s a place where not a lot of people are leaving to pursue their dreams <| sep |> That ' s disappointing . It ' s just sad that women tear each other down like that , and I ' m guilty of it as well . My dad lost close to 60 lbs not long ago , and no one reacted like it was a challenge , they were just happy he was getting healthy theymostly men . I ' m reaching that point at full speed like you said , I believe . My clothes aren ' t falling off yet I ' m tall for a lady but I and those who don ' t see me everyday have noticed parts of my body slimming down , like my thighs and face . I think she has maybe noticed it a little , because she will mention little things that aren ' t insulting , just odd nitpicking that makes me more selfconscious when I was fine before . And it hurts a little because I ' ve never intentionally said anything to do that to her because I know she has low self esteem . AND THANK YOU SO MUCH IM SO EXCITED ! !!
