Re: weighed in...and family issues.

[Guest guest]

Dear Bonnie I know what you mean about not so supportive member of my family is name my hubby. He thinks people that are overweight are that way. because they are lazy... there are times he is supportive. but then comments will be said and he thinks it is joking but I gotta say it cuts like a knife. Keep the faith.

weighed in...and family issues.

Down a pound from last week. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed (I worked SO hard last week!), but I'm not giving up.

And today marks six weeks that I have not cheated at *all*. For me, that's huge! I can't remember a time when I made it more than two weeks without cheating.

But I had a rough weekend (I have a family member that is less than supportive) and today I woke up bloated (guessing PMS). So I took the boys to the park with a dear friend and her kids and am working on moving forward.

How do you deal with people who aren't supportive of your weight loss? What if they try to sabotage you? And what if it's someone you really don't want to cut ties with? *sigh*

I hope everyone's doing well!

Cheers,

Bonnie

Goddess I am really lucky with my hubby by the sounds of it! He does all the cooking and okay I find the recipes but he makes sure they are healthy for me AND he is looking into getting me a trike so I can cycle againThe Dragon http://tempewytch.typepad.com/tempewytchs-crafts-and-s/http://tempewytch.typepad.com/tempewytchhealthyliving/--- On Tue, 20/3/12, Jase4567 <Jase4567@...> wrote:From: Jase4567 <Jase4567@...>Subject: Re: weighed in...and family issues.100-plus Date: Tuesday, 20 March, 2012, 20:39

Bonnie,I am just blunt and honest and respectful when someone says something or does something that interferes with my efforts. When a hurtful comment is made, I say, "You know. that really hurts me. It may not appear to you that I am working hard at becoming more healthy, but I am. When I hear comments like that, it hurts me." I can't say I have ever felt anyone has tried to sabotage my efforts with tempting me or not... I sabotage myself! I cannot control all the treats others bring to the staff lounge or office or wherever, but I can stay away from those places. If I get gifts of food from anyone, I give it away to someone else. (The gifts of food I receive are usually from elementary students, so I am SURE they are not thinking

about sabotage!)I have learned, you cannot change anyone. You can only change yourself and how you react to them and how you let them "get" to you. (Yes, I still struggle with letting people get to me!) apmleehere@... From: Jase4567 <Jase4567@...> 100-plus Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 3:39 PM Subject: Re: weighed in...and family issues.
