Whoo Hoo! Down a couple more pounds. A girl I grew up with had the Lap Band procedure done a little over a year ago. Since that time she has lost alot of weight. She looks amazing! Anyways I was talking with my cousin about how great she looked and he said that it's because she is on that "Jenny Crack Diet" and that no one loses weight that fast. It kindof stressed me because I have lost 11 lbs, 6 lbs, and 6 lbs in my first 3 weeks. I have never taken drugs, it's all hard work and determination that is getting me here. So if I lose the weight will people talk behind my back like that? I know you can't worry about everything and this cousin of mine has something negative to say about EVERYONE so I can't put much weight into his opinion. I am ecstatic about my loss and am Happy for my friend that lost her weight from Lap Band as well. Why can't people just be nice and mind their own business?

If they talk behind your back, then they need something better to do with their time. I wouldn't worry about it. What is more important, wht people say, or how you feel and what you know to be true. After you lose it and keep it off, and don't develop the other syptoms of the "Jenny Carck Diet", they will have to eat crow. And you can tell them that crow is an aceptable food as it is carb free!! lol :) As for your cousin, if he has something negative to say about everybody, I hate to say it but he probably already says snide things behind your back, so your best bet is to consider the source! Amanda you are doing awesome, don't some ding-dong derail your success! Have a great low carb day and week!!

Sweetie as you said "you can't worry about everything" but I do know that it's easier said than done.. If you keep on doing Atkins and doing so well, people will see the glow on you from eating healthier and being happier and hopefully they won't say anything bad.. b/c if they do it's just out of jealousy for how freaking hot you look! So no worries keep doing a great job and just smile for the haters.

Stef is right Amanda, how do you feel, your doing the happy dance and don't let anyone else's opinion stop you. This is for you and no one else, most of the time its jealousy thats the cause of the comments. Congratulations on the weight loss you are doing so great. :)

I agree with Ctlss - you are already doing a wonderful job. Sounds like your cousin is having his own insecurity issues. Thats whats wrong with people who don't have anything better to do than worry and talk about others. Stef, do you have a recipe for that crow? Amanda might need to cook it up for family.

Amanda it has taken me years to finally turn people off. It is like my life has been lived by what other people think and I would worry about it all. Well, I finally tell them I don't care what you think. I answer to GOD and he is all that matters! U know what I mean, other than a Boss or something. They talk about us if we are FAT and they will talk about us no matter how much weight we Lose.
So You Go Girl, continue on what you are doing and let them know that YOU DON'T CARE what they think. I am finally getting used to saying it..LOL!!
Have A Great Wednesday!!
Sandra :)

You are all right and I know it but those little insecurities are hard to get rid of. :) People are going to talk and you can't stop them. We all do it, we're human. The important thing is that I know who I am inside and God, and the people who love me and are close to me know who I am. I haven't always but for the most part I love who I am inside and soon I will be a little more proud of the outide and no one can take that away from me. It is awesome to have friends like you to pick me up when I'm down. I'm really in a great mood today. :) I just wanted to wring his skinny little neck yesterday! :D

Amanda, Most people talk bad about other people for two reasons they have nothing better to say and there life sucks so much the only way to make themselves feel better is to make someone else's life seem worse (SEEM WORSE is the important word). Trust me, I am dealing with that right now. It's really a sad existence but that is there problem and not yours. When I was younger people talked about me ALL the time because I had some really bad scars on my chest and arm. My grandma used to say something to me and I am going to say it to you. Mind you my grandma was a tiny little woman who read her Bible EVERY SINGLE day, watched General Hospital and was the closest thing to an Angel that I have ever had the pleasure of being close to. She'd say, "Steph-nee (real fast, only 2 syllables), Now folks talked about Jesus, what is the world make you think folks won't talk about you."
