I just read your post from June 8th about your MIL slapping your hand when you were cutting a desert bar in half. I was mortified for you. I know myself and I would have threatened her right then and there. But obviously you handled it very well, better than me. I love that you are educating the people around you and that will benefit not only you but any other overweight people they encounter. Instead of judging and policing having understanding and giving support. Thank you! Kristi :o) <><

thanks for posting! That day was certainly an eye opener. I LOVE my MIL which made it difficult but things have been great since. She is very supportive and is always careful to check with me when she is making family dinners or if we are planning a visit. She recently started LA Weight Loss so I think she's a lot more sensitive to the things we (as overweight individuals) struggle with.
