Guest guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think one of the biggest struggles I have with weight loss, emotionally speaking, is coming to terms with a lot of anger and regret that I have. I spend so much time imagining how my life could have been different as a teenager and in my early 20s if I'd grown up skinny. I know what I want my life now to be like, and how being thinner and healthier would make me happier, but I can't seem to imagine how I will get past the anger and regret. Growing up, my family always commented on my weight. They wanted to know why I wasn't skinny, and yet nobody ever did anything to help me. My mom hates to cook, and my dad, who is obsessed with my weight, was always overfeeding me. I used to love taking dance classes and skating lessons and horseback riding lessons, but my mom always ended up pulling me out of those activities. I know that now I'm my own responsibility, and my mom is also overweight so how could I expect her to know what to do for me when she couldn't properly care for herself, but I'm still really angry. I'm only in my late 20s, which is obviously still young, but I still feel like I've lost out on so much. I should use that as motivation - I don't want to lose any more time. But sometimes I can't help but get bogged down in all the negatives. Just so I end on a better note, I signed up for introductory hot yoga classes starting in January. I'm looking forward to sweating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
