... to my mother-in-law!
I sorta knew it was coming. I hadn't seen her since late June, so I'd only lost 9kg or so. She told me back then that I "didn't need to lose any more weight". Hello 22+kg and I knew she'd have something to say. Predictably, she marveled at my weight loss, then told me to stop now. When I said that I still have a way to go, she gave me the deep, intense eye contact stare, and said, "Really?". As though I have a problem! I matched her stare and said, "Really! I'm still overweight, according to my BMI. When I get back to "normal", I'll be sure to let you know, and then I'll stop losing and start maintaining".
Honestly... I know that it's more about her issues than mine. I also know that, due to loose clothing, some people didn't realise that I have so much weight to lose. However, I am pretty fricken far from anorexic. Check in with me when my collar bones can shave ice. Then we'll talk. At the moment, I'm flat out rediscovering those bad boys!
