Let me forewarn you before you read this, this post may seem negative, but I'm really not trying to be.....


A question popped into my head the other day and I wanted to ask you guys.

Been there lots, CL-person! Don't know which is worse: sharing and having people act like that or keeping it to yourself and feeling kinda alone. I've decided to say nothing to co-workers for just this reason. And like you I'm relying on the support of this group 'cause you truly can understand like the regular folk can't.

One colleague asked me how the diet is going anyway. (I don't think she was hinting, just assuming I was Atkins-ing like almost everyone else where we work.) My earnest and spontaneous response was this. "Dieting? Me?? Never! That's how I got this way!" And that's the truth. Whenever I try to diet in any way, I immediately begin the struggle that ultimately leads to bingeing. Now I'm just trying to keep portions reasonable and keep avoiding most junk ... and move more! If I can do that consistently, I'll be VERY happy. At least until others notice and start asking. Then your can of worms will have been opened where I live too. Boy, will I need you ladies all the more then!!!

I'm pulling for you, Relydria. Don't need to know how you're working it or every detail. Just want health and joy for you.

Thanks for raising this question,

Maya

nope i don't have the problem

i keep my weight loss to myself, just as i kept my weight gain to myself

i get flustered if people talk about weight too much..i dunno i'm just a private person. When i get to goal i doubt i'll tell anyone the amount i lost, i'll just say yeah i lost some..lol

I agree, I think I need to be a bit more private myself about it.
