Hello all. Just about to start route to management and i'm really scared!! My councellor is amazing, she has been very supportive throughout my journey, my family not so much, except my sister, she's been pretty good as she herself is on a diet, just not to the extremes of ours!! I just feel that as soon as i start putting food back in myself, that all eyes are going to be on me to see if the weight goes back on. Although I am very determine not to let them get to me, or to put the weight back on as i am changing my whole lifestyle for a better way of living, (my son included, even if i have to drag him kicking and screaming into this new way of eating). I still feel I'll going to be watched like an eagle. Did anyone else feel like this at all??
I would love to hear anyones thoughts on this, although i will talk to Pam, (my counceller), about my worries, i'd like to hear from you guys.
Good luck to everyone who is planning, on, or at the same point as me or further, on your weight loss, maintaining it now and for the future.
xx
