Hey Saph thanks so much for your support!
I had my second weigh-in tonight, and the scale did not budge which was frustrating but I did deserve it - I was very sloppy over the weekend! Saturday was my stepsister's wedding and yesterday was my baby cousin Hanna's first birthday party. This was a very big deal as my aunt and uncle just adopted her from china 2 months ago and had a HUGE blowout party with TONS of (very unhealthy) food. I tried to be reasonable but then I sort of gave up. I think that, without the sloppy weekend, it was a very good week. and I am making continual changes, which is the important part. ANNNNNDDD despite all the sloppyness of the weekend I held my own and didn't gain. So i'm looking at this as a lifetime commitment to being healthy, not a "diet." and i do feel so much better. I know that really is the important part.
My family definetly has a "food addiction" gene. Almost all of my aunts are overweight, one is severly obese. She will be undergoing gastric bypass in the next months because she's had some serious health problems. The extended family is NOT supportive of weightloss and healthy eating. My mom and I are the thinnest ones and we get a hard time all the time! "Oh come on, you can have it this time" or "Here have another piece of cake" or whatever. On the way home from the party last night my aunt insisted on buying me some ice cream, even after I TOLD HER my struggles with weightloss recently. It felt like a deliberate sabotage, whether it was or not. I felt so trapped, like I couldn't say no. I didn't even want the ice cream, didn't feel hungry, didn't care about it. But I felt like I had to get something so I wouldn't hurt her feelings. So I got a small and didn't eat all of it, but I still felt terrible. I felt over-full and I regretted giving in when I didn't even want to. The ice cream wasn't even worth "cheating" - it didn't even taste all that good. I wish that I could've been stronger in that situation but I really didn't know how to handle it. So, those are my issues.
Sapphire - Dreemy sends her love and says she's just been having a hard time getting to the computer these days! She's glad to hear you're sticking with it!
Well I hope we all continue to have progress, even if it's not showing on the scale!
Peace,
Scarlet
