On Weight Loss, Friends and Opinions… oh and Clothes


I have lost over 40 pounds and I have about another 30 -35 to go. I’m 5’2 and I’m currently at 153. Am I right saying another 30-35?
Friends that haven’t seen me for a while are surprised. While other just don’t realize how much weight I have lost. I was finally gathering the clothes that don’t fit to give away. Yes, I asked that question last month. A friend who sees me every day was over and said why not keep a few pieces since I will gain the weight back.

OUCH…

I had to explain to him that this was his thought and opinion and not my reality, but because of my own hesitation of getting rid of the big clothes, I know this thougth was in my own head. I mentioned to him that he also didn’t believe me when I did my first triathlon 5 years ago. Yes, he isn’t the biggest supportive friend.

Model me please…
