Why Why Why

I can’t believe it has now been five weeks since I started on the Biggest Loser and I notice that some of my friends don’t really talk to me anymore.  In the beginning of our weight journey everyone was talking and happy, now not so much.  People who are having some challenges are crawling into holes instead of talking about what they are struggling with.  Its funny one of the people on my team would talk to me every day about losing weight and how we were doing.  This individual this week first came up to me last night.  I told my daughter on Tuesday I bet he/she gained weight and that’s why they have not been talking to me.  Sure enough, last night we talked and they told me they gained four pounds over the weekend.  Good news is they took off three of the pounds so far.  All I said is look how much time you wasted having to take off weight you previously lost.  Do you want to keep doing this I ask?  Of course the respond was no.  It is really hard to change our old eating habits.  It is so easy to slip back into the eating frenzy when watching everyone else eat.  I know more than anyone how hard it is from overeating.  I believe we need each other to get through this journey of not letting food consume our lives.  I did get a little upset that people avoid me when they do bad.  I am here to help and support everyone not judge!

     I ran seven laps tonight on the treadmill and finish the last mile by walking a half lap and running the other half.  Wish me luck tonight at the weigh in.

PS. My daughter said her green bean pile on her plate was bigger than any other food she was eating.  We have made progress!
