Weight loss, fitness, and nutrition are a journey. It's long and hard, and you will hit rocky terrain even if you stay on the right path for a month. Sometimes, no a majority of the time someone will stand in your way. It could be your friends, family, coworkers, even you. I've had cosmic brownies shoved in my face, I've broke down and ate a family size pack of m&ms, even had people try to report me for being anorexic, but I didn't stop.
The thing is people dont appreciate it when you do better than them. You tell them the journey you will start and they cheer you on. They believe you wont actually do it or make progress on that journey. When you start to prove them wrong they worry, worry you will look, feel, be better than them. So they stand in your way. They will bring cupcakes, brownies, chips and constantly offer you one. My coworkers never use to bring cupcakes but now that I'm losing weight and their gaining I see cupcakes every week.
I always turned down the brownies, cookies, and ice cream. After 2 months it got worse, I was being called anorexic. I was 190lbs, HR just talked to me but it cut deep so I ate cookies to make it go away. After that I told myself no more and I stuck to my 1200 calorie a day journey. I made it to 140lbs in only 6 months. Again as I smiled and told about my victory, I was crushed by everyone saying I was sick or that I was unhealthy trying to get to 120lbs. Then I went to the store bought a family size bag of m&m and ate them all...
I was so mad I hadn't been losing for 3 months that I just turned to eating what ever I wanted at the end of the day. I didn't gain anything but I kept staying at 140-145lbs. It wasn't till 2 weeks ago I realized it was my fault and that I started listening to what others were saying and took their advice to heart.
Now I measure and weigh my food out, I dont meal prep I just dont have the time but I still make sure my dinners are 500 calories. I take pictures of my food and post them to social media and I make sure everyone that is standing in my way sees that I'm never going to give up. They can offer me that brownie, I can eat 12 cookies but what matters is I never quit and I wont let anyone not even me stop me from my journey.
Dont let other people stop you but most importantly dont let yourself stop you!
