Well it's not - it IS a lifestyle change and one I am so glad I have made. Yes, when people say "Don't get too thin" they haven't seen me without my clothes on so they don't know there is unhealthy fat. So glad the people on this program are so supportive.Annie in Tassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384839157822929374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-76600993713457126742013-06-28T06:55:10.774-07:002013-06-28T06:55:10.774-07:00I feel your pain as I have started getting the ......I feel your pain as I have started getting the ... "you wouldn't want to lose too much more would you" talks. Err yes I do, you've not seen me naked. Ha! I've also got the "how much do you weigh" questions. What kind of question is that? I would NEVER ask someone how much they weigh unless it was one of our 12wbt girls and we were having that kind of discussion. Why can't we have it all? Why can't we be like other people are? That doesn't make us shallow or self-centred. <br /><br />You know you are doing what you need to do for you. Hold your head high. And know that no matter what goes on in the big wide world, your little corner of the web here is where we "get" you and understand you. Keep the faith.<br /><br />Carol<br />www.finding-carol.blogspot.comCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-13088297880161071762013-06-26T17:38:43.153-07:002013-06-26T17:38:43.153-07:00EXACTLY!!!

And it's not boring it's what you make of it. That's why I am loving the 12WBT because of all the new recipes I am trying and loving. A lot of thing s I would NEVER have ever tried before are now my favourites.Becoming Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285412885922545600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-32002501572674723222013-06-26T17:35:54.357-07:002013-06-26T17:35:54.357-07:00Since you both look the same how can one of you be...Since you both look the same how can one of you be the ugly one????

But like you say the knowledge we have you just want to share with everyone. I don't mind advice it's just when it has a negative undertone that it erks me.

Apparently I've not lived unless I eat chocolate, have dessert, indulge in fast food, etc. if that makes me boring, so be it. I live chocolate but I can't eat it all the time - I have experienced the consequences! Even now people ask NNE will I go back to eating normally once the 12 weeks are up! I'm like what? I am eating normally - healthy, tasty, delicious small portions. Don't let them bother you. You know what you're doing and good on you with your progress so far!<br /><br />RunnerCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873597792096722890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-54913757014921222192013-06-26T05:48:26.631-07:002013-06-26T05:48:26.631-07:00Challenge the advice.

So I can eat them.

I feel myself stopping giving advice to people because I know how much it annoys me, and a lot of people just don't understand the knowledge we have from doing a few rounds of 12WBT.<br />I know someone who wants to lose 10-15 kg in two months and is doing some beach belly diet :( it is so upsetting because I have tried to school them in a more 12WBT like nutrition plan...<br />I just say do what you want, you know what it was like being overweight, and you will get the results you want by sticking to the plan and not drinking (not being 'fun') and working hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
