Ok, I know I'm going to have to chat with my therapist about this too, but I want to know if anyone else can relate. I have been at the low end of overweight most of my adult life (right around 155, 5'6" F, 38yo). During covid I gained another 10lbs, so I decided I wanted to lose the weight, and then some. When I've lost weight in the past and was around 140-145 I'll admit, I felt SLAMMIN, so I want to feel that way again. :)
I've been working on my food issues with my therapist, which is great. And I know that most of the time when I try to lose weight, I lose the same 6 lbs. over and over again. So it's been probably 5-6 years since I was at my goal weight last, and I didn't maintain after I hit it - took my eye off the ball and gained the weight back. I'm determined this time to maintain in my goal range.
Anyway - point of the post - I'm realizing that I feel guilty for losing weight. I'm probably the thinnest in my family as-is, and the only one without kids, so I know that my body has skipped some things that my siblings have had to deal with. I also know I have more "free" time than others (although, I work FT on my business, so I still have a lot on my plate). I feel guilty for having these goals, like I'm leaving others behind. My siblings and I share about weight loss / healthy eating, and exercise a little, but I'm afraid that if I share too much, like how into it I really am, that I'm going to exclude or alienate people. Does that make sense? Anyone else relate to this? I know I just have to work on me... but it's hard.
