In the future, you need to see it as reason to be MORE motivated. People need to realize that this is for our HEALTH. :-( Yes, people can be healthy to a degree at most any size, but those who eat a proper diet, exercise properly, and maintain a decent body weight tend to have optimal health. Arg... Then you have the "meant wells" who think they are encouraging us by judging our bodies and demeaning us as people, which can actually cause a person to fall off the wagon.

An interesting point, what you said about people feeling threatened by
change.
My husband likes me big and cuddly and did point out some sagging flesh
under my chin when Id lost some weight! So that made me think and become
less motivated.
