I’m not sure if this belongs here, so if it’s not allowed that’s totally fine. I’m just looking for some advice and to see if I’m being too sensitive.
But, does anyone else feel bad when people find out you’re trying to lose weight?
Let me preface this by saying I’m a week into a new healthy lifestyle. This is not my first rodeo, it’s probably my 100th honestly. But it does feel different this time.
A little backstory: My husband has lost about 50 pounds already and it’s noticeable. I’m so proud of him, and he’s inspired me to get my act together now.
However because everyone is noticing it they comment on his weight loss. He’s proud, as he should be. But somehow these people find out that I’m also trying to lose weight too. And then it’s “Oh wow I thought so!!! You look so good too!” And in my head I’m like dude, I’ve lost 2 pounds. Stop trying to kid us both.
I don’t want praise for something I should have done years ago. I don’t want people finding out that I’m actively trying to lose weight because then it’s this massive conversation that makes me feel beyond self conscious and then when I fall off the wagon I feel guilty for letting all these people believe in me.
Anyway, I’m trying my hardest to not fall off the wagon this time, but how do I go about telling people not to mention my weight loss to me? And am I being a jerk by feeling this way?
