If you’ve read my previous posts you’ll know that I’m trying my hardest to lose weight. My sister is getting married next year and as I’m always the bridesmaid and never the bride, I really don’t want to be the fat bridesmaid again.
The Mr knows I’m trying and that I’m watching everything I eat. Well he comes home this morning and cooks me a sausage and bacon sandwich on white bread. Now not horrendously bad as I can count it within my syns/points however I came home from work to a full buffet of Chinese which is way off the syn/points counter. Clearly I can either say no or pick at a small bit of it but he seems wounded whenever I do that.
Sometimes I think he wants me to stay the size I am. I need to sit him down and tell him exactly how it makes me feel being this size and how much I want to lose the weight and why.
But is he just being kind? Coming home from work to cook me breakfast before we both go back out to work, I’d say that’s extremely kind and loving. His not malicious and I know these offerings come from love. My mums down next week and she will be the same, constantly trying to feed me. There are people out there that will try and sabotage your efforts as much as possible but my Mr is not that person.
This got me thinking about why people are so eager to see you slip your diet or have that extra drink, that piece of cake that turns into a whole one ect. Why can’t everyone just be supportive and encourage you to be the best you that you can be? I’m lucky I no longer surround myself with these kinds of people. I have in the past and I’ve sat there and caved in to peoples encouragement to sway from my targets. Which only results in me being more miserable with myself.
