So, apparently i'm a crackhead...

I"m half the woman i used to be. Literally. Well, almost. At the time i gave birth to the triplets, i weighed pretty darn near 250 lbs. Yep. Cow. But what did i care? I had to eat 4000 calories a day, drink a gallon of water a day and i was growing 3 people at once. Thank god i got diagnosed with gestational diabetes around 22 weeks or i surely would have gained like 100 lbs with them instead of 50. All i cared about was eating enough for the 3 of them to grow big and strong and be healthy. It took me 10 months to lose the 50 lbs i'd gained with them. Yay, right? Not so much. I was still huge. My skin had stretched out so much during my pregnancy that i had a "flap" like Adam Sandler in "Click" after he gets his gastric bypass or whatever it was...only mine was more of a "fat flap"...So, the last week of January '09 i decided i was tired of being fat and i was going on a diet. That's something i've said about a thousand times before. I've never lasted longer than 3 weeks tops before me and the twinkies had a date in front of the T.V. But now, it's 9 months later and i'm down 71 lbs :O) 118 lbs if you count my weight when i gave birth. I couldnt wait for people to comment on my weight loss the first few months. I needed it to keep me on track, to feel like i was accomplishing something. The comments started coming. People said things like "I hardly recognized you" and "wow, how much have you lost?" But lately, i'm getting comments that i'd rather not hear. I have one client friend who swears i have an eating disorder. My friends daughter, who hadnt seen me in months, though i was "some crackhead" before she got close enough to recognize me. My sister calls me sickly. My husband says when my collar bone sticks out it's "nasty". All i see is me, 250 lbs with stretch marks. I do not have an eating disorder, nor do i do crack. I'm doing this for me and me only. Do i plan on going to far...No. Am i satisfied right now...for the most part. I just have to get rid of the remainder of this gut problem and i'll be fine, in my eyes. Thank you if i'm already "fine" in your eyes, but it's me who needs to be satisfied. Why is it that you're either "fat" or a "crackhead"???
