I’ve lost 15 pounds in the past couple months, and am another 15 away from my goal weight (which I haven’t been since 2016). Does anyone feel guilty for losing weight? Maybe it’s the people pleaser in me, but almost all of my family (my side and my husband side) are overweight. Even on my husband’s side there are two doctors that are very overweight.
Im SO proud of the work I’ve done so far to change my lifestyle these past few months, but feel like I have to hide it from everyone. I don’t want to hurt there feelings and make it seem like I’m better because I’m losing weight.
I also had a weird interaction with my own mom on the phone earlier this week. She’s struggled with weight off and on over the years, but is generally healthy and exercises quite often so I thought she’d be supportive of my journey. She just asked when I would be done losing weight. I told her my goal was 140 (which is in the normal BMI category for my height of 5’5) and she said not to get ‘so skinny’. I was shocked at her reaction. 140 is a healthy weight, and even though it’s my ‘goal weight’ I’d love to lose even more than that. I carry a lot of fat on my thighs and legs and it’s been an insecurity my whole life.
Has anyone felt like this? How have you dealt with it? Do you just not talk to people about your journey and keep your head down and keep grinding? Worth mentioning, my husband is very supportive. 😄
