State one goal that you will strive for: to lose the weight to stick it up my mother in law who said I couldn't do it without having surgery

[kate_turner2000]

man ur mother in law sounds nasty!

[Kaz]

she really can't talk as she has had the gastro banding done twice. The most recent was about 2 years or so ago.

When I had lost about 10-15 kg a couple of years ago she said I had done well but was still soft and squishy ( I can't write what I thought as it isn't fair to those who censor this forum cause they will be here for about 1 hour LOL).

When I had lost the 25kg she said I needed to have surgery on my stomach and arms and legs. I said I did not want surgery cause it was a reminder never to go back there again that is why I am restarting now so I never go back to that weight again.....

She is my motivation..... I was expecting a snide dig from her on Sunday at the BBq and now my 8 year old nephew makes comments last time he asked "nanna" if I was having a baby AHHHHHHHH

[kate_turner2000]

sounds like a case of the green eyed monster kaz! good on u for turning it into a positive though- u will come out on top!
