Long time lurker, first time poster here. I’m finally breaking out of my shell because I need some advice.
To preface, this community has been amazing for my weight loss journey. I’ve tried for years to lose weight, and I’ve only managed to “yo yo” with my diet/exercise. However, ever since I joined this community a few months ago, I’ve been staying consistent with my work. I’ve learned not to beat myself up for a bad day here or there, and it’s been amazing for my self esteem!
Anyways, fast forward to today. I’ve lost about 10 pounds since I’ve started, and I’ve been feeling great! Clothes are fitting better and I’ve been feeling more confident. Well, I came home for the holidays (fun times, I know), and on the first day of me being here, my mom tells me that I “need to start doing sit ups or something” as she glares at my mid region.
I was pretty hurt by that. I don’t think she intended to be rude, and I don’t think she’s known about my insecurities and personal struggle, but I couldn’t help but let that comment get to me. I thought I was doing great, but apparently, my progress isn’t showing and now I’m discouraged.
Has anyone else ever had a similar experience? How do I put up with these comments without letting them wear down my motivation?
