So I have been thinking about a lot and I'm not sure if this has been an issue for any of you during you weight loss journey. I've been thinking about how my emotional state affects my desire to be healthy, etc. To make a long story short, I have a family member, an in-law, who for some reason seems to be treating me badly in recent months. Whenever she is in a bad mood, she finds something for me to fix, or she will single me out of a group of people to correct something. Often times they are things out of my control or just something all of us in the house have to deal with all the time, but she finds a scapegoat in me. Now I know this may seem like it has nothing to do with weight loss, but I'm seeing that it does. Some background: I have always been a bit jealous of my sister-in-law. She is 5'2, normally between 95-105 lbs. She is very beautiful and etc etc the list goes on. Now I don't feel like I'm am unattractive person or whatever, but I have struggled with comparing myself to her. When she treats me badly or calls me out in front of everyone, I often get hurt. I start comparing and I try hard to have her like me and treat me like everyone else. The thoughts that run through my mind usually say, if I was prettier, she wouldn't say that, if I was skinnier I wouldn't feel like i was always in her way. Yesterday an incident happened and I was instantly depressed about myself, unhappy with my progress (which is actually amazing), I wanted to give up because, " what does it matter, she will just keep treating me this way?" But then I realized, wait! I'm not doing this to impress her! I'm not doing this to impress anyone! This is for me, this is my choice, my journey, my health. I cannot let her treatment of me push me into feeling sorry for myself, push me to give up, push me to base my actions on the opinions of others.
I dont know if anyone has had similar experiences, but I just want to encourage you.Don't give up!! This is you life, your health! Let no one dissuade you from your goal. Stay strong, you will make it.:) and you will be so glad you did.:)

I struggled a bit the last couple weeks, but I have some great news. I went through my closet last night and I got rid of clothes that were too big. I tried on everything in my closet and was amazed at how many of them were looser and several pieces I haven't been able to wear in years fit me perfectly or were even a little loose!!!!:) I'm down 12.2 lbs and I have 35.8 to go! Who's with me??

I was hoping I would have lost more, but I lost 6 lbs without exercising. I am hopeful that as I start incorporating exercise I to my routine going, month 2 will be even better. I could get sad that it wasn't 30 lbs or something, but its 6 lb less than I had a month ago! So that's just great.:)
