All eyes on me….
Do you ever feel the ”pressure” to be on plan all the time?? If you slip, you’re liable to disappoint others. “Others” mean neighbors, friends and family who have acknowledged your weight loss. Today I had a neighbor shout to me “Hey, skinny minnie”. UGH! I give her a friendly wave and felt a twinge of guilt. I never ask for any congratulations or acknowledgement towards my weight loss. It doesn’t give me a pick up or encourage me to keep going. In fact, it makes me feel like if I don’t do well, then I am a disappointment to all those who have said compliments.
I totally feel this! I have a guy at work (an old guy, in his 60’s) who’s taken to calling me “Slim”. He tells me to keep up the good work, asks how the diet is going. It’s very nice and all… but I don’t like it! It actually makes me feel worse! And then I feel guilty when I haven’t lost in awhile. Like I should be walking around explaining, it’s a plateau, I’m still working at it, I’m just on a plateau!
I guess they mean well.
But we can still vent about them! 
Take care!
