I took a stand last night for everybody in the world who is trying to lose weight and are struggling but pulling through! :) I went over my grandmom's house last night. My intention was to stay over, but I walked out on her. She is seemingly the most ignorant, negative person I have ever known. Sadly, it has to be my grandmother!
She clearly knows that I am on a diet. I am a heavier person, but I am trying to reverse the weight gain. I ate healthy all day yesterday. I had a container of yogurt, an orange, water, two small red-skinned potatoes, a large HEALTHY salad with very minimal italian dressing, a turkey burger, a sweet potato HOLD the extras (e.g. marshmallows), and vegetables. She kept making nasty comments towards me about my weight, saying that I wasn't losing weight, never acknowledging that I lost 30 ibs. in three months busting my hump. She kept asking me, "How did you gain all of the weight?" etc., etc. Just really nasty comments. She wasn't just making nasty comments about me. She makes nasty comments about everybody. I tried to shut her out, but her voice just kept piercing my soul. I didn't want to cry either, but I started to tear up. I am a very emotional person. If somebody is hurting me, I don't hold anything back. I was just trying to think about positive thoughts, such as seeing my boyfriend's beautiful smile, feeling him hug me.
Around 9:30 at night, I absolutely had it! She just kept talking a bunch of crap, and I told her off in a firm and direct way. I wasn't disrespectful, though. That's why I left. I didn't want it to dissolve into really nasty words. I am not that type of person. I just left her house and went back home. I explained to my parents, and my dad knows how she is. He told me that I did the right thing walking out. I just feel completely finished with her. I do not need negativity, especially when I have over 100 ibs. I have to lose. In addition, she has been doing this my entire adolescent life. She started making jabs at me when I was 12 years old. I am now 25, and I am not taking that crap anymore. She is the champion of making somebody feel so little. Her words can seriously bring down your self-esteem, and it most likely did when I was a teenager. I feel that was one of the reasons I kept gaining weight. I never had ANY POSITIVE FEEDBACK from her.
I took a stand for everybody last night! Do you have somebody negative in your life? Rise above it. I hated to walk away, but I had to. She is my last grandparent, and I tried to love and honor her. Yet, when you aren't receiving any love and respect back, that is what you call a dealbreaker. We can all lose weight, no matter how much you may need to lose. Any goal (big or small) is an achievement! Don't allow anybody to tell you otherwise. Be so proud of yourself! :)
