Red Hot MaMa society..how much have you lost? 46.2 pounds so far!

[redtailgal]

Hi Bee kissed! Glad you came by!

Yes, I have had that same issue before. Usually its from people who have never had to really struggle with their weight, so they really are pretty clueless about the weight loss struggle. Sure, their mother or sister struggled to lose weight, but seeing and doing are two different things.

I cannot eat in front of one of my brothers without him offering "support". "picture that on your hips, sis" "oooh, eat that and you wont be wearing THOSE pants again"

Problem is that he is about as dense as I am fat. I can slap his mouth all I want, he just doesnt get it. I will just keep hitting hard each time, and eventualy he will get it.

But, we cant do that with everybody by socking them one. Like yesterday while I was out with my mother, the waitress wanted us to order dessert. Adter my refusing SEVERAL times, I finally told her that I was dieting and dessert was not on my menu.

Her response? "Oh honey! You need to understand that you are beautiful just the way you are!"

My response? "I never said I wasn't"

*insert uncomfortable silence here*

I dont know if you are oversensitive or not. Maybe you are. But, if you are, SO what? That is not your problem! Sounds to be that someone has been insensitive to you........and THAT is something that you dont have to put up with.

SPeak up about it again. THey will learn to handle it better as time goes by, they just need some practice!

You would have had a good laugh watching me walk in those heels, or I should say shuffle in the heals. I also wore my new make-up. I purchased make-up for the first time in probably a good 10 years, for a date weekend my husband and I had in November. His request, better looking jeans, a perm, and make-up. He took me jean shopping and picked out the skinny jeans. I feel kind of silly in them, but even my teenage daughters have said they liked them on me. Teenagers are very honest creatures, and I am sure if htey though I looked silly in them, they would have been more than glad to share that with me. . Now everytime I go shopping or in town with my husband, I am informed that I must have my skinny jeans on. Need I mention I feel sillly in them.

You go Hot Mamma's. Don't be afraid to dress-it-up a little bit, even if you don't fit in those size 3 jeans.

Yay!!! I want to be a red hot mamma too But I don't have a journal yet. Need to lose 50 more pounds by July for my nieces wedding and in September I'll be attending my step-daughters wedding in Florida. She gets on FaceBook and rants about how insensitive fat women are - hates their "mushroom sides hanging over their jeans, their "plumbers crack" when they bend over -which she finds completely obscene. And my husband's whole family is tan and thin obsessed. I feel like I've really let my DH down by putting on the weight , quite sure his family has mentioned it...but THEN he laughs at his daughters wisecracks and agrees with her! Really hurts...
However, not trying to lose the weight specifically for him...that would just be a bonus. I have fibromyalgia and know that the extra weight is contributing to my health problem. Lost 20 pounds so far, and feel a little better, but 50 pounds would be a great relief! Any support whatsoever would be a big help

well, c'mon, Cabin Chick!

Make urself a weightloss journal, share your plan and do it to it!

The more the merrier!

OK Gang I found this thread today I feel like I am a lil slow LOL. Anyways, My name is Dawn. I am 41. this year 2011 and the last 6 years my middle name has been STRESS.
I am a wife to a disabled Veteran ( has been disabled for imagine 6 years). His health had started its downward spiral in 1998 when he was in Kwuaiit during a peaceful clean up mission.
Started feeling tired all the time, nerve damage and pain and a rash. The next phase was losing feeling in his left side, his arm (ulnar nerve). End phase was in 2006, could not stand and had to quit his job, Remington Arms. Six months later he was in a wheel chair I tried to work and care for him I took a leave when I could no longer do both job and home. ( I have been home ever since). It has been a very long and hard road, and now I am a parent again. Despite the cards that have been dealt to me and mine. I know there are people out there that are worse off than I am. I thank God every day that it is not worse than it is.
My goal is also 5 % weightloss in 1-2 months I will get there eventually so I have another long road but this time I am excited to do this. First time in a long time I want to try this coaster ride.

The GANG is my inspiration and my motivator. BeeKissed , Cabinchick welcome to the club , 20 keep strutting the heels it strenghtens the legs and a**,{ butt}.

A lil bit about me I have moderate to severe degenrate spine disease, All over pain with no DX as of yet.

I have a confession to make....... ..... I HATE the color RED. So I will vow to be "red hot" but I'm wearing PINK.

I love pink lipstick, pink shirts, pink shoes, pink sunglasses, pink nail polish.

If we ever dress up and go out on the town as the RED HOT MOMMAS, I will be the one in pink, with blue jeans on, bare foot carrying my pink flip flops.
