Getting fit for 30!
Hiya! Me again!
OK I just want to know if I'm the only mad one, and if anyone has any pearls of wisdom.
I lie about my weight to everyone except my Mum and on here (because no one knows me!)
I don't mean I say I'm 15st when I'm 21st, I mean I tell everyone I don't know what my weight is. When I was at group and my friends asked, I'd say I don't look at the display and asked for it not to be written in my book, and I'd just ask what my loss/gain was and in reality my eyes were burning a hole in the display!
Now I do it at home I tell them that my Mum just tells me how much I've lost so I can keep track. And when they ask how much more I've got to loose I usually say "about 400 stone!" and laugh it off and change the subject.
Thing is I've noticed I say I've nearly lost 2.5st and I can see my friends looking me up and down and thinking "that's quite a bit and you don't look that different".
It's not too much of a problem at the minute, but when I've lost 3, 4, 5, 6 even 7 stone and they still see I've got quite a bit to loose they'll do the maths.
When I'm at target or 1/2st away I'll admit how heavy I was, I'm just not ready for it yet. I don't want to see the reaction, I know all my friends will be positive and supportive, but they can't "fake" the look in their eyes when I tell them I started at 24st. That and the risk of them telling someone and them making comments.
I've was bullied about my weight at school, but never let it upset me or effect me in anyway I've always been quite tough and let it wash off me. Thing is I'm quite insecure and don't want to risk some irrational emotional trigger sending me straight into the ice cream and chocolate.
Only way round it I can think of is tell them I've lost less as time gets on. So when I've lost 1st I'll tell them I've only lost 4/5lbs. I just get so excited with any loss and tell everyone I see "I've lost 10lbs this week and a total of 33lbs in 7 weeks!"
Sorry, that was more like a rant, but I needed to get that off my chest.
Be kind!
Any advice?
