alcoholswab: - I'm very private too. There are a few people very close to me who are overweight. I find that they are never happy when I lose weight. In fact - I was telling my friend tonight - that I'm just TRYING to get better control of what I eat/how much etc and you could tell she didn't like it. People like you to be fat with them (I don't mean that to be rude). Also.. I lose weight fairly easily... whereas someone like my sister has a difficult time (yet she cheats constantly when she tries). I somehow manage to be very strict with myself and rarely cave... even though I think its going to kill me - lol However... I reap the results of being like that. Its HARD work.
