"dont get sick"

these words are burning in my brain this morning! last night my husband and i went out to dinner with another couple that we are really good friends with. they are awesome people and have been extremely supportive of my eating plan. they have cheered for me and given me tons of support. however last night was the second time that they mentioned my weight loss in a negative light. the first time they said something, they said that i needed to "eat something" and "how do you only eat liquids?" they have seen me eat my lean and green and have seen my shake/pudding/oatmeal regimine. then last night, i was eating my steamed chicken and brocolli at our favorite asian restaurant and they asked me to try different things. when i declined and said i was actually finished they commented on how fast i was losing and they hope that i dont get sick. my husband spoke up immediately, saying that i am having more nutrients in 1 day than he has in 3. i was really happy he spoke up for me. i guess it just upset me, i started worrying that they were right and then i got mad at myself for even thinking that. i know mf rocks and that i feel better than i ever have.

i guess i just needed to hear if you guys have experienced this kind of thing before and how you handled it? if my husband hadnt been there im not sure what i would have said. i know they didnt mean anything by it, they are just worried i guess.

anyhooo---thank you guys for reading this and any advice would be greatly appreciated :mrgreen:

thasnks martha and donna! :mrgreen:

it is really hard to hear things like this, as i am sure you both have heard it before too. alot of people mention the oprah diet, where she lost all of that weight on a liquid diet (i believe it was optifast) and pulled out the amount of weight on that wagon.

yall are both inspirations to me, ive followed your successes throughout my mf journey and am so glad there are successes like you to pull me through these rougher times.

on another note: martha i am so glad to see that you are doing well. i was so worried for you.

thanks guys and i will keep your words in mind for the next hurdle
