We're all here trying to lose weight and we know how frustrating it can be. We've all taken responsibility for our situations and are taking action to fix them. But I assume that many of us here resent or have resented our upbringings for the part they've played in our weight gain. I thought it would be nice to talk a bit about the parts we resent, how we've let go of this resentment, and what we've learned since.
For me personally...
I resent that my parents cooked greasy food full of oil and served massive portions of it with no salad or vegetables ever. I hate that they took me to doctors about being a fat kid as if there was something wrong with me when all they had to do was stop buying junk food which they knew I was eating too much of.
I hate that I learned nothing about nutrition from them and am not naturally in tune with listening to my body. I hate how much I hate vegetables which could have been a different story if they'd been in my life sooner. I resent that my conservative religious father stopped me from playing sports which I was really good at.
He had a heart attack at 50, mother had weight loss surgery but is still morbidly obese, grandmother has type 2 diabetes. I'm headed in all of their directions if I don't take action now. It makes me angry that they don't respect their bodies and rubbed this off on me, and I'm struggling to let go of the resentment.
The most interesting thing I've learned since starting is that my recommended daily allowance of food is much lower than the national average because I'm really short. I'd never considered this before, and even when trying to calorie count as a teenager, I'd often try to stick to the recommended 2000 kcal without realising that was far too much.
