I did not let it bother me !!!
« on: January 23, 2011, 01:20:37 PM »
I went to a Birthday party and of course did not want to eat the cake & ice cream . My aunt said " why you on another diet ? " so I began to tell her about FTS being a new way of eating and not ""another diet "" and she asked how much I lost I told about 25 and of course she ask when I started and  I told her 5 months ago and the @#$@@ said to me "well it  might be Fat to Skinny EASY but not FAST and easy "!
 So I told her that I am just losing slow that all of yall guys are dropping it a lot faster . I also told her that I am not losing fast but I have lost 25 lbs and How much had she lost ? Guess what she did walked away !! So no Debbie Downer for me ,sure I would have loved to been able to say 50 LBs in 5 months to help spread the FTS word  but only fast weight loss seems to be what makes people believers , I still tell everyone how much better I feel .
Maybe at the next birthday party she will have a different opinion when I have lost more and she has gained .Thanks guys for being hear for me to talk to

You're attitude will make you successful at F2S!

Being a fellow slow loser, I too have heard a few unkind remarks about "fast and easy".
I too just ignore them.

I think that the title might leave the impression to some that this is just another fad, scam, "be skinny tomorrow", diet plan.

Maybe Doug will give this some consideration in the title of the next edition of his book.
What you do today is what matters!

People like that drive me crazy!  I have a sister that is doing that kinda of stuff to me too, so I know just how you feel. Ugh...sometimes I just don't know about people. You rock and you know it. We all have lost weight fast and gained it right back. Slow is definitely better and you will keep it off forever this way.

Big internet hugs coming at you!!

GOOD FOR YOU!

That's an average of 5 pounds per month, which is great. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will become less of a diet and more of a lifestyle. You didn't put all your weight on in 5 months, I'm guessing, so it's crazy for people to think they can lose it just as fast.

Jo, you are absolutely, positively, correct!  :) :) :)

Your attitude is the right one to have for a successful lifestyle change.

We don't set dates on calendars expecting to be done with F2S and go back to our old FAT lifestyles.
F2S will be a big part of our lives from now on!
What you do today is what matters!

It's not a race anyway. Whoever said that is confused. It's about enduring, staying the course... slow and steady wins the race. You will be skinny forever and she may get skinny faster, but won't stay that way for long!

Wow, just when I think I can have some faith in people, I hear stories like this...

Keep up the great job... I would love to have your weight loss.. Beside, slower weight lost usually stays off...
