Since the end of May, I've now reached a total of 20lbs lost. I'm very excited and very proud of myself for this achievement; I've been much more active with going out for walks every day and I've changed my diet to one where I'm eating balanced portions while still indulging myself in the things I enjoy in moderation. I thought my family would be happy for me too, especially since they are the ones who commented on how big I was in the past. However, they've made statements and lectures towards me thinking I'm "taken things too far" because I no longer eat the same meals as them and my weight loss has been physically noticeable.
(Spoiler alert: They asked me on two consecutive days if I wanted tinned hot dogs. I declined both times not because I'm not hungry, I just don't want those shitty tinned hotdogs. Blegh)
My point of this post is, be proud of yourself for your accomplishments. If you look and feel good about yourself because of your hard work, that's what truly matters. Living with others who can see that you're trying to better yourself can be difficult in the sense that meal schedules/expectations can clash, and some people are just pretty darn rotten that seeing you do so well for yourself can make them realise they're not exactly in the best situation themselves. And somehow, that's your fault.
We shouldn't have people bringing us down, even unintentionally. So remember, you're doing hard work to better yourself and you know your own accomplishments better than anyone else. Be proud, be safe, and keep up the good work!
