It is, but not impossible 

I know how you feel. My husband is supportive, but the rest of my family close by think it's silly I'm trying to lose weight. probably because they're all overweight. You can do it!!! 

nice job! 

That's why this site is so awesome! Come here for encouragement anytime! You are worth and you can do it! 

I know how you feel!! Its very hard!! I am lucky that I have my husband, but there are so many unsupportive people that its still hard at times. Hang in there, you can do this! You have us!! We will support you!!  

Yes - it is hard but it is worth it - Great job 

Absolutely #sameboat 

Oh yeah!! then you have the pushers?? in my case my sis used to be my mom?? stop by dads house every day?? and shed be like I made enchiladas?? let me serve you up a plate!! a little bit wont hurt?!?!  

That's true, but you must be dealin' with it okay since your weight is down - good job! 

i have the same problem. actually my significant other thinks it's funny and calls it "sabotage". He'll buy things like cookies, a pretzel covered in cheese and pepperoni..you get the idea..and leaves it on the counter..hoping to break me i guess? its not funny and i feel empowered every time i deny. however as i write this I'm realizing how messed up it is. 😞 

@Moopxo, when he does those things, take them out to the trash, pour something on them like cleaner or bleach, do not let him sabotage your goals. You are working towards a better you, and he should support and encourage it, what he is doing is mean and a form of abuse. Nip it in the bud!!  

It’s always nice to have support, but ultimately it is for you. There will always be people and places that will be a temporary roadblock to the success of any goal. 

Doggone right, it's not funny, Moopxo, it's messed up, alright. The fact that he 'needles' you like this makes you wonder just what kind of guy he is. Usually what is really behind this behavior is the fact he is afraid he will lose you when you lose the rest of your weight. With less than 25 pounds to goal, that's comming fast. 

Yes, but you know what you want ! Continue to believe what you know you can do! Every time a negative happens in your life replace with a positive in your brain. A brain is a terrible thing to waste! Don’t give up! 

What stevie said, there's fear and insecurity underneath that. He probably doesn't even realize it.  

Yeah, I know. I have member of my family that is weird about weight-loss and diets. But I already planned responses when he attacks, Andi am ready to go beyond and above that situation. It doesn't deserve my attention, time and besides its my life and my body, it is MYDREAM, MY BODY, I deserve respect. And love.  

Well, I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but body transformation by one can be "threatening" to others, including family and friends. Perhaps, you'll be able to get others on-board. I hope you're able to find the encouragement that you need, want, and deserve. All the best. 

Sucks that so many of us have to struggle along without support. I’ve been told my dieting really “bums” ppl out since I stick to my salads when they are downing pizza and pastas :/ 

at first glance i thought that was wood chips :T 

Have you heard that story about crabs in a bucket? How whenever one tries to climb out, the other crabs pull it back down. Is always about themselves, they'd rather you stay the same with them than to rise and better your life. You need to ignore them and/or cut them out if they're not for you. Everyone deserves supportive people in their lives who want them to succeed in every aspect of their life! You all are 100% worth all your dreams, you better keep going for you!
