big vent ahead:

this past week ive been really trying my hardest. going from 1500 calories to almost a good 2000 + my stomach hasnt loved me a whole lot, & sometimes it been really sucky. i even bought a body bugg to see how much im really burning to make sure im eating at least my burn rate to in hopes gain weight.

well the past few days ive been weighing meat, sizing meals to log & my little sister starts mocking me, my step dad is a bit more supportive but i feel like their judging me. however you know what their OVEREATING is what has them heavier then they need to be so yeah let me measure, log and KNOW how much im eating to get the body and results I WANT

just sucks because at times it seems like im in this alone.

& yet people on here i feel get it more then my own family does.
just a vent but really got to me.

anybody else basically have this issue.

I feel your pain. Unless others around us want to change their lifestyle for the better they don't understand. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. That's the whole point of this site.............people here DO understand and are able to support you 100%. :flowerforyou:

Just ignore them. Easier said than done I know but you can do it.

My dad is the one that got me stuck on this site so I know that they know what I'm going through with this. However my husband up until this last month didn't see how a site could accurately track anything and thought that if I just stuck with what I ate but in smaller portions it would help. In a small way he was right but he really doesn't know how much he eats when it comes down to it. He gets tired of me wanting to log my foods when I eat and rolls his eyes sometimes when I turn something down because it's something that would push me over my calories. So in a way, I sort of know what you're going through. Keep going and know that you aren't alone.

I think it happens to everyone at one time or other. I've been on this journey for a long time. First time I lost 110 lbs. When I reached goal, all I heard was "Now you can eat normal". AGGGGGGG They don't get it and never will. I've explained til I'm blue in the face - it's like talking to a wall. They don't want to put the work in, they want to take a pill and all the weight be gone. The only constant support I've had was my dad. At family gatherings he always made sure there was food I would eat.

I've gained back about 30 pounds (divorce stress) so I'm back to being a little more strict. It's the same this time. I just ignore them and do what I'm doing.

It would be nice to have support here, but..... My 15 year old daughter is supportive as much as a 15 year old can be, but I also try not to make a big deal out of it. She doesn't have a weight/food problem and I want to keep it that way!

Yes, I get it a lot from my mom and a good friend of mine. You see on top of trying to lose weight I'm also gluten intollerent. In fact my mother and sister are both also gluten intollerent. I have made the change to gluten free, they have not. I've tried to help my mom (she's asked) but she kinda pokes fun at my over zealous monitoring of gluten. But it's either that or puke. She has no clue how much better she'd feel if she cut the gluten out of her diet.

It seems like people here, get me more. Because they know why its so important for me to log everything. Everyone else that watches me logging what i eat, that doesn't use this system just thinks I'm crazy or obsessed about doing it. Like logging things makes me feel okay about eating. Now if I can have some good weighins in the right direction, I really don't give a rats _ss what they think. Thats the whole point. I'm doing this for me. Not for them. They can do whats best for them, and I'll do what right for me. And we can love and accept eachother nutritional differences and all anyway.

agreed it is for me not them so i should just have that same mindset dont give a crap what they think :]
i like your method of thinking. and the weigh ins will come stay positive sometimes some things just need a tweak and then BOOM it happens

Constantly. People at work always make fun of me when i bring healthy lunches (I work at pizza hut) and everyone makes fun of me as they stuff 1000 calories worth of food into their face. I just rememeber that I'm the one who has lost 10lbs and will look great come bikini season. Not to mention they always complain of feeling sluggish and tired, while I feel fantastic!

If they watch you a bit longer, they might take your good example.

I understand. My kids and husband have laughed at me for weighing my food. Just the other night, while eating supper, my Dad and husband were discussing our eating habits, and Dad said, "I've got to quit eating like this!" Jeremy replied back, and all I could think was, Uh, I eat the same foods, and I've lost 14#!! But I measure my food, and eat only one serving of meat, and if I want seconds, it's of the vegetables. It's working for me. It works for you. Do what's best for you and try to forget what others say.
