FAMILY . . .

I keep telling myself that I am the most important person in this process. I am getting healthy for me!!! I will be happier because of it and so will everyone around me. I am starting to believe this and so are the people around me. They think twice before eating junk infront of me, they encourage me to finish my exercises before they ask me for anything (probably because they know I will stop what I am doing and help them first) Hey! I said I am starting to believe it, I didn't say I totally believed it!!! It makes me feel good that my family is just as into this journey as I am. Thanks guys!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR . . .

Was a beautiful day today, getting back into things after not feeling well. During this time I reassessed what I was doing and how it was working. I tweaked it a bit, but didn't start something totally new this time and I didn't use this as an opportunity to eat. This is a big deal for me. I am really liking where I am going with all this. It is very slow, but I am feeling good and finding myself at the same time. I am learning that the world isn't going to fall apart and if it does, it will still be there to fix when I am done losing my weight. This is an investment that I am making in my future and it is sooo worth it. Now I am feeling good about things, I understand that it is going to take time and I am prepared for that. Theeeeeeeen I go to visit my in laws only to see that my sister/mother in laws are all sitting around talking about their weight. One is skinny as skinny can be and the other is very over weight, but is on Bernstein for the second time. Now I am there minding my own business and of course I get pulled into their conversation. I am no stranger to their smart ass comments about my weight, but this time it really hurt. I am happy she is going to lose her weight I really am, but please don't be telling me how many calories I should be eating when you are wolfing down fried foods and cake, not one, but two pieces in front of me, then go for your injection and lose a ton of weight while I am trying so hard to do it right. She will be skinnier before me and then I will be the fat one at the table listening to all the sarcasm. Just very frustrating to listen to people making digs at me about my weight when I am trying hard. I know that I am doing the right thing. I don't need to put others down to make myself feel better and I am on the right track and I will not let any body take this positive feeling I have right now away from me.
