hi i’m 26 and started my weight loss journey at 340 pounds only a few weeks ago. I’ve known for a while I need to make some changes and i’ve been super lucky bc my girlfriend has been so supportive. She’s pretty athletic and has basically taken the reins, she cooks all my meals to keep me in a deficit, tracks both our calories together, goes on long walks with me and encourages me to get more exercise.
Here’s the issue…she really annoys me. I feel like an ahole because she’s been nothing but supportive and helpful but I constantly feel so behind when i’m with her. She wakes up full of energy, looks great, never gets tired. We both cut out a bunch of food from our diets to stop me from binging and all i think about is the food I miss eating while she seems totally unbothered. She goes ahead of me on my walks cause im slower than her and i know she’s jsut trying to help but its like the more work she puts into help me she unintentionally reminds me just how far i’ve let myself go.
As far as progress Im proud to say I’ve lost 6 pounds ….shes lost 7 pounds (unintentionally through the extra exercise she’s been doing with me and the diet changed) and she started at 95lbs so now im terrified that her support is going to put her at a health risk, because she did not have 7 extra pounds to lose.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How do you stay motivated without wanting to through yourself a pity party? I’m not looking for sympathy my girlfriend hasn’t done a thing wrong but how i do accept her help without feeling less than. Any advice is appreciated even if it’s tough love.
Thanks for listening and don’t hold back with brutal advice i need it.
