    Your mother's insensitive behavior is not really about your weight, is it? I would bet anything that this is not the first time your mother has failed to respect your boundaries, not the first time she has embarrassed you by revealing personal information after you have asked her not to do it.



    Also, from personal experience fighting weight, I know that the very people who give us the hardest time about our weight are the exact same people who show up with doughnuts and pizza the first day we announce we are dieting. It never fails!



    My best advice about weight is: Eat low on the glycemic index. By doing this, you will never get hungry. Eat some tiny bit of protein food (nuts, yogurt, beef jerky etc.) about every two hours. Drink a lot of water. If you do not know what the glycemic index is, you can look it up on the Internet. Low glycemic foods will help you lose weight and will not make you feel hungry.



    If anyone asks you about your new eating pattern, say, "I am on a doctor ordered diet." Be serious. People will take a medical reason seriously but if you say you are simply trying to lose weight, people will drive you crazy trying to get you to eat rich food you shouldn't be eating. If you are asked what is medically wrong with you, say: "I don't like to talk about it." Or say, "I am pre-diabetic," since anyone who is overweight could legitimately be described this way.



    And expect your mother to show up with a pizza or insist on taking you out to a restaurant famous for its rich food as soon as she figures out that you are trying to lose weight. Count on it.

    You must loose weight (you know that by now). And for the rest.... let them talk, whomever they are. Ask your husband honestly and tell him to react honestly. He is the one who will support you, but you have to do it yourself! Ah and when he will answer honestly, you already know what he is going to say, So get a seat. And then after the ****** part, he'll tell you he does love you, won't go away, thinks your mum is a ***.....*** and that he will support you, but you have to do it.



    Be nice to all people whatever they say, that's not easy but much better for your health. And thus for you coming battle. Fight the fat, not other people. You have a big advantage: you can say one day: "I lost......pounds and I am pregnant". The others (exceptions are everywhere) will never have the change to go for that!! So; keep me informed ;) xxx

    Much luv and I know you'll do it!!!!
