I've been trying to get fit this summer and have made a huge effort to change to make my self feel better about my body. I did lose a bit of weight of course because I was going to gym more regularly and cutting out unhealthy snacks. My friends and family say I look great and are really supportive.
It's freshers week back at uni so I saw some of my old flatmates who I've not seen all summer (3-4 months) and they said I was looking really well which was really sweet of them. I then went out with my new flat mate and friends. I was told that "you don't want to lose too much weight" and when I said how much weight I had lost the response was "who's it for?".
1. My aim isn't to be skinny or lose loads of weight; it is to be fit and healthy.
2. I haven't done this for anyone else but me.
So don't try and make me feel bad for all the hard work I have undergone to get to a point where for once in my life I actually feel great about my body and have grown in confidence and overcome struggles which were preventing me from being happy. It would have been nicer if I was given support instead of negative comments. I guess that's how life is though and I'm choosing to leave those comments in the past and focus on the positivity.
