I need some strength today. When I begain here about a month ago I did not share with my family mostly my Mother who lives with us what I was doing because I didn't want to deal with her energy about it. I have been walking when I am away from home and I have not shared that I was cuting back my eating. Yesterday she noticed that I was making a protien shake and said it is good! we have so much of that left!( what she was really saying is that we had alot left because I quit using it the last time I tried to diet) Then that same day she brought home 1 dozen cupcakes for a church bake sale. Knowing I am the only person in our house that likes sweets. I DID NOT EAT ONE
Then today she brings me an article on a new weight lost shot and asks me to research it for her. She weigh 150 lb and is a size 12. I want to use my drug of choice chocolate right now so bad! to push down my feelings! I have a long road ahead with 100+ lb to loose please pray that I can stay strong!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I did mention I'd lost 20 pounds as advised by my doctor for pre-diabetes test results and could feel the difference in their reactions already. You really have to get a very positive mindset to deal with those around you.
Hang in there, it will be OK. Just try not to think about what they are saying and listen to your inner voice driving you forward.
I have been making some clothes and went up to my parents to show my mom, she said "I like that " and my dad said "whre did you find enough material to go all the way around?" I did not respond, just looked at him. You never really get used to that.
i just try to ignore them :D
good luck to all of you...you're all in my prayers!
Next batch of crap she brings home, put it in the garbage right in front of her. Hell, stuff the whole gloppy mess down into her bedsheets where she can find them with her feet that night. What on earth drives these people?
Seriously, though, I get a lot of help with my chocolate addiction from Russle-Stover's sugar-free chocolate. They're made with splenda and really excellent. My faves are the truffles, toffees and pecan delights!
I have investigated the 'shots' she was referring to. If you are, your age in your profile, Then your mother won't be eligible for the shots. My Daughter is on them right now and the criteria for eligibility for them is way more then Gastric Bypass surgery. Message me and I'll get you more info if you are really interested. Tho if I were you I'd just tell her what I told you and be done with it...;)
But you know what, it's their problem. I try to remember that losing weight is for me, and people who bother me about it, they're wrong, and they're ignorant.
The point is, my dear, none of your saboteurs have any contribution to make: Birdshit upon your windshield.
"Do you really need that last potato?"
or, if you haven't eaten it
"What's wrong with that potato, why haven't you eaten it?"
Either way I did what she wanted but lost control of my own appetite and I lost the ability to determine when I was hungry and when I was satisfied.
Relearning is so hard. I'm trying it again now too. These days if my Mother even mentions diet I immediately start saying "Isn't the weather marvellous/dreadful/etc etc" It didn't take long for her to take the hint that that topic was not up for discussion with her.
It is your business!! Not hers!!!
I too have 100 or so to lose so I'm here beside you! We can do it this time.
