Unfortunately, you don't have to be over 50 to experience the ignorance of some people. I've lost a lot of weight ~ I went from a size 16/18 to a size 6/8. I remember visiting a garden center the first spring after losing all the weight. I'm a regular there so many of the people who work there know me. One of the ladies came up to me and immediately asked me if I was sick. I told her that I feel great, actually never been better. She responded with something like (don't remember the exact words) ~ you're so thin, you must be ill. Really? Some people just can't be happy for others or throw out a compliment. It used to upset me but now I figure if they go to such great lengths to try to get to me then I must be doing something right! :-)

@Julie928....you go girl. Good for you for losing all that weight and are now feeling great. I know, some comments from people are just plain ignorant. Just shake your head and try to blow them off.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.
