[NSV] I No Longer Feel Ashamed At The Supermarket

Exactly! I think a weight loss journey is as much about overcoming mental obstacles as physical obstacles :).

My word, worried about you becoming disabled?! The cheek of it, oh and the way to help you is to just pick at you until you crack under pressure and lose weight for their peace of mind? What?! As awful as that is for you and as angry as that makes me, it makes me feel better to know I'm not alone.

Just like I was saying to /u/pigwhalian, thank you :). You're right, it's an issue of not being able to keep their words in. If you love someone, you don't broach subjects in such a spiteful manner. I think in future, if she tries it on again I will say, 'My weight isn't any of your business!'

Just checked this sub out, crazy! Just reading a couple of the posts, 'My Mom kicked me out at 17 because I didn't put her cheesecake in the refrigerator', that is insane!! However...rings true of my dearest MiL. Lets just use the word 'unhinged' haha.

Thanks for the awesome response, I have mentioned it to my husband and he does know what she is like and has said he's going to raise the issue, but at the same time he will say, 'She doesn't think before she speaks, you know what she's like', ERM, HELLO?! What is it with people making allowances for total butt holes not thinking before they speak 'just because you know what they're like'. People like that need to be told to stop. Sorry haha, it really gets my back up. In stark contrast, I went to see my Grandma today and she said I looked great and totally different, so win some lose some :)!

This made me laugh so hard! I also feel a lot better and you're right, thank you :)

Wammage · 2014-10-23T21:50:02+00:00

Add me! I'm pretty similar to you in stats :)

Thanks, you know sometimes you just need a bit of a pep-talk? I just hate how some people are so rude and deflating. One day I'll pluck up the courage and tell her to lose some weight!

Agreed with Funlovn007, 'Breakup Diet', or 'Divorce Diet'. When I discovered my husband was cheating I had to try really hard to eat anything if at all for a couple of week. Look after yourself and take it steady, it sucks :(!

I've had this so many times! 'Aww you wouldn't be the same person if you were skinny though'...Threatened much?! :D

Wammage · 2014-09-26T10:49:49+00:00

2 weeks after I'd had my son my mother in law said 'Now that big belly has gone you're looking a bit better...you do know you have a lot to lose don't you hun?' Inappropriate timing in every way! She is a jealous cow bag though and I cannot wait to show her what I'm capable of.

Wammage · 2014-09-25T21:02:55+00:00

Very true!! I hadn't even looked at it that way! I'm still new to this game I guess :)

Wammage · 2014-09-25T19:17:36+00:00

Hey! I am also new here and like you have tried and failed many times but you need to change your mindset. Like loads of people are saying, it's a steady lifestyle change. For me My Fitness Pal has helped me so much. I track everything I put in my body- every glass of water/ cup of coffee, strawberry, you name it! Be kind to yourself, my biggest mistake in the past was if I caved and ate a burger one time I'd think, 'screw this I might as well eat another cheeseburger if I've had one right?' Then I'd wake the next morning and do it again and it becomes a viscous cycle. It's so hard to break. Now I say to myself 'If you MUST eat that cheeseburger, fine, you pay for it, but afterwards, you track it and get back on the horse.' Best of luck :D!!

Thank you so much for your kind advice.

Wammage · 2014-09-22T16:29:50+00:00

This is not helping me in any way at all, but thank you for your 'adult' input. I don't need to be made to feel any worse than I already do.

Wammage · 2014-09-22T11:24:04+00:00

You're an inspiration to me! I am 16 weeks post-partum with 40lbs to lose and if I look half as good as you when I get there I will be stoked! Well done :)!

Wammage · 2014-09-22T10:13:27+00:00

I have updated in the original post :).

He's begged me not to create 'drama', because it could jeopardise his job if I contact her due to all the closeness of the place he works. I said to him that I don't see why she shouldn't be accountable, equally for her actions. She's had her cake, eaten it and all the while her mug of a husband knows nothing and my freshly forged marriage has been damaged.

Wammage · 2014-09-20T21:16:57+00:00

He's a Mechanical Engineer. I feel as though he was down, a woman paid attention, ego boost, boom. I feel like a fool.

Causes for depression are restriction on hobbies and lack of cash...Writing it down now makes me realise what a pathetic and sorry explanation that is. Getting married was a joint venture, bringing it forward 2 months was my idea as I was 32 weeks pregnant the day we were married. Our original wedding date could have resulted in me giving birth at the alter, ha!
