Losing Weight: A Journey
Yeeeaaaayyyyyy! I've finally found a place that I could be to get some support for losing weight
Let the journey begin!
If anybody's reading this.. I'm standing back again on my feet to shed off those unwanted pounds (they're 45 lb by the way). I have tried numerous times before, and failed because I don't think the motivation I had and received, along with the REASONS I had were good enough.
So now that I have a good support team (hopefully), with me being a supporter to anyone who needs it, AND that I now have joint and colon problems() as good reasons to lose weight, I'm more determined than ever to make this thing happen.
I was glad that someone, who happened to be my friend, made a bad remark on my weight publicly a few days ago, just when I had started a day on my new journey. Yes, I was taken aback by it and overate to compensate my anger and dissapointment. But that overeating was not as bad as the last time, because I managed to stop myself and think.
Overeating is not the solution.
Telling the person how sensitive I am when he or she makes that remark IS. Or some other means.. but the point is, degrading yourself by excessive eating is definitely not gonna help you to achieve weight loss.
So challenge #1: Criticism by people around you. I can handle that the next time.. GO ME!!
Challenge #2: I have this weekly gatherings with my close friends. A friend of mine would always cook for us as it's often held at her place. However the food, despite being delicious, have too much of refined sugar and carb in it that I just can't eat for me to lose weight. Do you think by my indulging in unhealthy food once a week will affect my progress? I don't know.. but I know that I have the willpower to say no to junk food.. it's just that i wouln't want to hurt my friend's feelings by not eating the food she prepares
Should I just tell my friends that I want to lose weight and plead them to understand my situation? It may seem easy, but trust me, when you're the only one who wants to lose weight..it doesn't look too easy! unless you have supportive friends over this losing weight matter. Hmm.. maybe I'll confront them.. we'll just see how it goes
Lalalalallalalaa..
