Officially introduce yourself to the community by sharing your goals, obstacles or accomplishments. Don't be shy.. we're all here for the same reason. The more support we share the easier it will be to reach our goals!

Ya know, this is a tough place to be in. Coming from a similar support-LESS system myself it can be a real uphill battle. But these are the times where you you can really test your metal. Use their lack of support as motivation. Look at them, and every time you make a healthy choice when they don't/won't, give yourself a big pat on the back. Break your goal into smaller pieces, and conquer each one at a time. The benefits of fitness are much more than just physical. Stick with it and you'll definitely see how.

I know exactly wat you're going through. My mom is my biggest critic, I lose ten pounds and go to her place thinking she'll notice and say somethig positive. Instead she asks me why I'm so fat.
It doesnt help that she is and always has been a petite woman. Guess she doesn't know what it's like to be in my shoes. All you can do is use that negative feedback and the negative energy it gives and turn it into motivation. Be healthier for you, you're the only one that counts.
