I will lose weight if I want to!

So yes I am losing weight but by no means do I feel like I am done. My goal is to lose 15kg which is well within my healthy weight range and by no means at the bottom of the healthy weight range and yet as soon as I mentioned that I have lost 8kg I got many responses saying that "Gosh you certaintly don't need to lose more", or the "be careful you don't start to get too extreme" and I thought whoah people back off, I am no nearer anorexic then I am about to run a marathon. I feel so proud of what I have accomplished as I have been this way, this weight for a long time and I really want to lose it. No I don't want to be stick skinny or a size 8, I will never be that size but is it so wrong that I want to be a healthy comfortable 12 and god forbid sometimes fit into a 10?

I guess it is hard for some people to accept change, I know when I good girlfriend of mine who was like me and always a 14 lost a lot of weight (healthily) and dropped to a 10-12, I was envious, jealous and thought, why couldn't I be like that too?

I guess I need to develop mental touchness to fight any negativity. 

I am doing this weight loss slowly and healthily, but I am not restricting myself, I am indulging in my fave dark chocolate every day (pretty much) and I have taken on the philosphy that if I want a treat have the most amazing treat and really enjoy it but just only have a little bit!

Dark chocolate is my new best friend as it has such little sugar and I only need a small amount to be satisfied. 

I guess this is a bit of a rant, I am sure you have felt the same before either being on the weight loss end yourself or someone you knew lost weight, it is hard to acept people around you are battling demons you yourself have battled and not yet won., 

We just need to support each other and make sure we surround ourselves with fit, healthy, supportive friends who will love you no matter what you look like or what you weigh. 

Luckily my boyfriend is incredibly supportive and loves me and tonight he is taking me out to dinner to celebrate my achievement.

It doesn't hurt to treat yourself not to sweet foods but to shopping, lots and lots of shopping!
