I’m sitting here almost at my personal goal and I have to wonder, why is it so hard for some people to be happy for those of us who have lost our weight or even be happy for those who have lost a big portion of their weight.  Take for example, my husband, although I know he loves me and has loved me and thought I looked great at my heaviest he never tells me that I look good or that he is proud of all I have lost.  He does come from a family with some large women, but I just want him to tell me that I look good.  He has told a few of my friends that he is proud of me for what I have done but never has he told me.  What gives?

Then I have a buddy who is loosing like crazy, and it is so hard for her to get much positive feedback from those that “love” her most.  She is working to loose the weight for herself and she is happy for what she has done but she has so many negatives in her life it is just unreal.  I know she will over come the negativity because the fact that she has lost so much already shows that she is STRONG.  But along with the weight she has lost a few so-called friends. 

So once again I have to ask, “Why is it so hard for others to be happy for us who want to make a lifestyle change and be healthy and improve our lives?”  Why?????

Ok, here is my plan for the day.  I figure if I write it down I will stick with it.  Usually, I have no problem sticking to my plan, but today I know will be a bit harder.  I have a birthday party to go to and they will be serving pizza.  Ugh, that is a major red flag for me.  I so love pizza.  But my plan is to have a salad, 1 slice of pizza and be done.  I will not have any cake because I really don’t care for birthday cake!  I will drink plenty of water before I go and keep chugging while there. 

Ok so yesterday was my official weigh in for the month of October!  Yuck!!!  I did not do so well.  I’m pretty sure that I know which areas I can say I failed in.  I hate to use the word “failed” but I guess if the shoe fits, wear it!  I am going to have to UP my water and get back to my walking.  The weather here has been so so, although I should not use that as an excuse.  I am going to get my rear in gear and get these 3 pounds off!  I will!
