"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it." - Bill Cosby I like this one a lot. One of the things I never thought I'd face is being afraid to lose weight. It sounds ridiculous!!!
Yet, through WW, I started to realize that it's a whole lot easier (and emotionally safer) to stay where I was than face the "new" me. My relationships changed. It created stress that I didn't think I'd face because as I changed - physically, mentally and emotionally - people around me had to adjust. And that definately threw me for a loop.
I still deal with it. It's a whole lot easier to hide behind my weight issues than to deal with them and face up to my critics. For example, I had a lot of struggles with my DH about WW. He didn't like me going to the meetings, didn't like me buying healthy foods (spending $$$), etc. And believe me, it would have been MUCH easier to just say oh well and walk away. To not "rock the boat."
But, I didn't. I rocked that baby and decided I needed to change FOR ME. He still gives me grief from time to time (now it's about going to the gym, my getting "obsessed" with working out and nutrition, not getting to buff, etc.). But I also know that those issues are his and not mine.
So I have decided that I want it more than I'm afraid of it!!!
First - there's nothing I can say about this, the title speaks for itself. CNN: Schools acquire taste for faux-junk food
Read it and weep.
