How to respond to loving judgment?

lemanuelthelazy

My family is really proud of me for losing as much as I have, but sometimes they can be too supportive. In their eyes I am "done," and they react with alarm or judgment when I talk about counting calories. I only have 15-20 more pounds to lose, so in my mind I'm not done yet and in order to maintain I'll never be done.

My sisters and mom have always been skinny people without even trying, so they see me struggling to maintain close to their natural levels and they worry that I'm obsessing. Granted, an eating disorder seemed like a glamorous way to live when I was a teenager, but I am miles away from that mindset now!

Does anyone else have this problem? Do you just keep quiet so as not to sound braggy/preachy? I know they're just trying to make me feel good and I love them for it, it got me this far after all.

My problem is the opposite! I am farrr from my weight goal and people judge me for counting calories because they are like..yeah right, Look at you!!! So.... I guess no matter what we do and why people will always have to put in their two cents. I would just try to ignore them, I know it's hard but look at all your success!!! You know what you are doing and it's important to maintain the lifestyle, don't let them discourage you! Keep your chin up. XOXO.
