oh Kerrie - your post could have been written by me!! i too have gone and bought size 16 'floaty' clothes to cover up, and it depresses me. and as for people telling you you look great, well, it really makes me mad!! :-s maybe it is me being oversensitive, but i just think stop lying to me!!! i would much rather they say nothing, but like i said, maybe im just being oversensitive...

but you are right....the weight will come off, and when it comes down to it, it is so worth it....but we're still allowed to whinge!!
