Hey girl... I know how you feel! You need to look at this is this is for you... Nobody else. You have to let people deal with their insecurities and you have to learn that you are good enough to accept compliments. You need to start looking in the mirror and talking to yourself with positive stuff. Put quotes on your mirror and say them out loud. The more you say good stuff about yourself and to yourself the sooner it will help you to begin changing your mind process. This is not just about looking good remember, this is about health!!! This is about you living a healthy lifestyle... people don't have the discipline to do such a thing and those that do they feel threatened by you. I feel REALLY awkward when people would compliment me for a long time... until I started giving myself credit first. It's hard to take compliments from other's if you don't already tell yourself that you look good and feel great. Someone called you hot on here and you had problems accepting a compliment that is typed to you, not even told to your face. The best thing to do is say thank you and pat yourself on the back! You are doing a great job and your health, your fiance, and future family will all benefit from your choices that you make in life. This is where you start working on your self-esteem and throw out the food! The food is not going to help you at all.... It's only going to make you feel like a bloated moose (Been there). That's not the outlet... Listen to some music, get yourself some books on self-esteem, Oxygen Mag, and surround yourself with positive things to help you adjust! You need to create a solid goal. So you keep your mind focused on the goal and less on the speed bumps you will hit. Then when you reach the goal you congratulate yourself, and have a new one replace the old one. Keep changing for the better. You can do it, we're all here to support you!!!

Don't make me come over there!
You stop that! Her insecurities are HERS to deal with not yours -so give 'em back to her. If she has trust issues with her husband - that's her problem.
I agree with every single word that Treilin said. You are doing this for you, your family and your future and piss on what everybody else thinks.
I've always had a hard time taking compliments but no problem giving them. People are complimenting you because they see the positive changes that you are making.
The people that make a fuss are the ones who WISH they had the courage and strength that you are showing and/or they now feel inferior. You are proving that it CAN be done and making all of their excuses null and void.
And don't even think about binging on anything other than water and maybe popcorn (no butter or salt)! - you're better than that and you know it.
You are a beautiful creation.
You are worth the effort.
You are worthy of being loved.
You are NOT alone.

TO BE HAPPY and after that binge, very emotional at that & heart wrenching b/c you forsake your self worth,. WHICH IS VERY VALUABLE to you … and although satisfying while doing it, hoarding it down until you feel ike you’re going to explode … has left you feeling like crap, but GUESS WHAT ... it was a lesson.. you learned something about yourself.. you took a STEP in the right direction!! To err is human, you are human, albeit a merwoman, but this is life honey ... it's yours, you can bitch, complain, do something about it BUT NEVER ... NEVER EVER settle for less and you will NEVER be ordinary ...
Read Velvett's sig ... and just know ... You are loved... it's YOU that need to love youself back
and I for one, along with all these people, some you have never met, some you have, will help you
Happy Fuggin Monday danngit!!! It's a new day ...

There will always be haters.
There will always be supporters(yep, you are included)
Don't let the haters stop you. How do YOU feel when you look at yourself? How would you feel if you blended in? The beauty of the world is that we are all so different. Life would be boring as fark if we were all the same.
Enjoy being different.
And if you want to blend in, just blend in with us on EF.
