Daily Update
So…today’s “event”: I was dropping off my DD at her grandma’s house before coming to work, and the first word she said was “You won lottery or something?” I’m like “huh?” “You got lots of new clothes.” I told her it’s all my old clothes that I couldn’t fit into but now I can because of my weight loss and she goes “Sure.” So I told her I lost about 20-25 pounds. Then she asked me how I did it so I told her by working out and trying to eat healthy..Then she rolls her eyes and says “oh.” How interesting. I kinda got this bitter taste in my mouth..She either doesn’t notice it, or doesn’t wanna say it..But she notices clothes I wear. . Funny thing is when we did WW before, (she went to meetings, and I did online one)..every week, she would say “I lost XXlbs how much did you lose? Oh, that’s all?” Or if she didn’t lose that much, she would say “I didn’t lose that much this week (never say the number), what about you?” It’s like she’s jealous and trying to put me down or something. I don’t know… Well, at least I’m looking better and better and she still hasn’t come to realization that exercise has to be a huge part of living healthy.
Is she jealous or what? Ooh well.

HI there! i totally can relate to that issue. my mom and i are on such a thin/fragile line with weight etc. before I started losing, she always told me i needed to lose weight, but now that i’m losing, when we go shopping, she’ll bring me my old size, and its like DUHHHH, we all know I don’t fit in that anymore. thats why i keep my weight loss and eating and exercise plans private. no one to make comments, make me feel bad etc.
BUT, stay strong! you can do it!!! you’re doing an awesome job!
