Taking a deep breath.

I have made a decision. It may seem small but for me it's huge.
For so long (read: longer than I care to admit) I've had people judge what I eat. They've felt free to voice that judgement, adding in a holier-than-thou attitude while looking down their noses at me for being so "lazy and weak willed". I'm sure most of you are fully aware of how wonderfully uplifting and confidence boosting it is to constantly experience this. (We really need a sarcasm font.)
That's why I haven't opened my diary. Because I didn't want to deal with any perceived judgments or picky questions about what I'm eating or why I chose to eat outside my macros. Today I'm taking that leap to conquer that fear. I'm opening my diary to mfp friends.

Good for you. F- em if they can't handle the way you eat. Also, just tell them that no matter how poorly you eat, it's better than this one guy you know (Goat)... that guy's diet is a train-wreck!0

Good for you. I also agree we need a sarcasm font. I do not mind people telling me if some thing is out of line in my diary. It is appreciated help. Especially when I am stalled out. And I SO hate it when people judge me being so heavy. They had no idea I had a medical problem for part of it. I actually think for a lot of it. Now the medical problems are addressed I need to work on losing the weight I have gained. I think many of us are suffering from emotional stress lack of sleep horror-moooooones raging and just not eating the right foods for us. We are all in this together. This is a big step for you. Congratulations.0

I like this! I like this a lot.
I had a lovely surprise yesterday. I went to the GP to check on my back. I had a new DR. On my out the door I thought I'd tell him that I'd started low carb so that it could be recorded on my medical record. He was really interested and we spent quite a bit of time talking about it. It was so lovely to not be judged and he was really supportive. I'm going to make him my new GP.

That is so not a little thing. I'm thrilled for you taking that leap. Getting right in our heads is the only way we'll win.

It's no-one's business but your own! I've felt judged a lot during my life too, but some of it is in my own mind, and I have judged others too, so I need to work on that too. It's usually when I've felt insecure.... anyway good luck and you'll find folks here very supportive.
