I have had a couple things happen in the past few days that have really urked me.
I'm not sure what exactly makes me more mad, the fact that I can't eat it or that this is the reason our society is the way it is. This sort of thing just really gets under my skin. Before being banded I would laugh at this kind of thing and shake my head but it just does not amuse me anymore.
Another thing that bothers me a little is people telling me to stop loosing weight they tell me I'm done I don't need to loose anymore. HELLOO!!!!!! Are you in my body do you know my stats, do you know what the healthy range is for me height? I think not so shhhh. lol
I think this is a twisted compliment when they say it but I think once a fat girl always a fat girl. I'm not sure that I personally will ever think I am done loosing but I guess that is sort of good so maybe I won't ever gain any back. Fingers crossed =)

This is a very interesting topic hon. I too have looked at the portions that they have in resturants and thought what are they thinking? G and I can absolutely share a breakfast now I take the scrambled eggs and fruit and he'll have the pancakes or whatever. Seriously...1 person is supposed to eat all this?
Also - I'm at my halfway point to goal. I have already had people tell me, "well, you don't have much more to lose right?" I just smile and say, "a bit," but really I still have 1/2 my weight to lose. I imagine it just gets more irritating as you get closer. How can someone else look at you and know if you are happy with your BMI or muslcle tone etc.
I think people sometimes just say that sort of thing to have something to say. You know your body best. We all need to be in tune with it through this journey.
Yes, I think if restuarants would cut down portions, people would start to learn real portion sizes, and maybe we would be a less obese nation.
I think that people just like having an opinion. I try not to let things like that get to me, even though at the moment I'm more likely to get "you need to lose weight" comments rather than "stop"! I usually return something like "my weight is between myself and my doctor. Thank you for your concern". And then change the topic!
I know what you mean about people telling you to stop losing weight. I am at least 10kg above what the chart says I should be, and I will be happy to lose only about 7-8kg more. It's amazing how many of the "experts" are smaller than me! I wonder if it's because they just can't get their head around me being smaller than they are used to?
