Kind of irritated... a group of friends wanted to get healthy and lose weight, so they consulted me to give them some information and encouragement (this was at the beginning of May). People were doing well, but the past couple weeks, everyone seemed to give up the healthy habits and have admitted to binge eating, binge drinking, "giving up", etc. So I posted a message to everyone admitting that I fall down sometimes as well, but the best thing is to just get right back up. That together we could get motivated again and back on the right track, that if they wanted to meet their goals, they had to stop making excuses. Tried to be inspirational with a little tough love (because that's what they expect of me). It was THEIR idea to start the whole thing, and made it clear from the beginning that they expected me to help and keep them on track.
Well, tonight, all of them were at a friend's house watching the basketball game, and drinking, of course. I stayed home because I didn't feel well, but my husband was dragged along. And one friend said I was "full of it" for trying to motivate everyone.
Excuse me? You guys ask me to take time out of MY day to type simple guides, give advice, resources, and answer all your questions, and try to keep you motivated and I'M the one that's full of it? I suspect they are just feeling guilty because they have not been doing very well, but still. And to say something like that in front of my HUSBAND and expect it not to get back to me? Dumb.
So, now I'm really pissed and questioning my choice of friends.
