CONGRATS!!! I bet it feels like winning the lottery!
Yeah, I've got a mom like that. She had Gastric Bypass 5 years ago & suddenly declared herself a "weight loss expert" - she stayed on me about my weight, but as I started losing I go ZERO support or encouragement from her - nothing by negativity.
She hasn't seen, nor spoken to me in 3 years - I know she's gained back a little & I hope to be SMALLER than her when she sees me again.
(evil grin!)
