Some people try to lose weight and are immediately surrounded by supportive friends, family, co-workers or what not...
I'm not the lucky one in this aspect. I am married but my husband does not believe I will ever be able to lose weight. And he says that clearly. And he does not care about me trying to cut off sweets or alcohol. He finds it ridiculous.
Understand me - he is a nice guy, but he has this whole "be 100% honest with your partner"-thing going on and since he has seen so many attempts at losing weight directly backfire, he just does not believe it any more.
Of course I don't want him to lie to my, I would most like if he still believed in me.
My mother is not really supportive either. She has never had to struggle with weight and so she does not know what I'm going through. My dad is not around most of the time, he is working abroad and I only see him once a month or so.
So, that's my (un)support.
That's why I started this blog. I am hoping to get motivation and support from the infinite internet. I need real people - no matter from how far away - to cheer me on, to tell me that I'm doing great, to convince me that every single step is important.
Today was not a good day - foodwise. I had been really good for two weeks and had not lost a single kg/lb. I got really frustrated and ate some chocolate AND ice-cream today and now I feel like I've already lost the battle for good.
Restart tomorrow...
Ugh! I'm so sorry that your husband and mother are less than supportive! I wish I had some words of wisdom for you! I hope you find the support you need here!
