In about 2 weeks I'll be heading to my home state to visit the family. I've only told one person in the family that I've lost any weight and I'm a bit scared of a negative reaction or worse yet they don't think I've changed at all. My mother has never seen me as anything but fat even when I was working out in the pool 5 hours daily getting ready to head to Nationals.
I think I look great; I've lost a little over 50 pounds, but I'm still overweight (50 down, 35 to go - to get to "normal" 70 to go to get to where I want to be) and since my sisters are super skinny I'm sure I won't measure up (it seems like I never did).
Knowing me, negative comments could completely derail my progress; it has before. Why do we need the validation from family/friends to keep us motivated? I'm sure there is a logical explination, but I sure don't know what it is.
I also find that family is so good at sabotage. Jealousy?! Maybe it's just my family, but I don't think so.
