[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And you worked really really hard to be healthy and fit-how to you explain to people that get annoyed at how “careful” you are now?

For example. If I know I am going out to eat with friends-I will plan the rest of my food for the day around that. And I never order appetizers or drinks or dessert. Or I’ll have a tiny bit of appetizer or a dessert as well as an entree of course. But I will never be excessive. Some of my friends have Been really annoyed by this. Probably because I used to not care at all? Hence, why I was fat.

The anxiety of getting back to where I was is pretty terrible. I hated myself. Like literally hated myself. I have spent 2 years getting to a healthy weight and more importantly, a healthy mind set and it makes me so depressed that I often have to hear my friends and family complain to me about it.

My whole life has changed for the better and honestly foregoing an appetizer/dessert/drink seems like such a small price to pay. Don’t get me wrong if it’s a special occasion (anniversary, wedding, special birthday etc…) I will definitely over indulge and then plan the next few days around that. But my friends and I go out like once a week/every 2 weeks and that’s just too often to be going all out.

I guess I wish more people understood the struggle. My body wants me to be like I used to be-and it’s a constant battle. I think a lot of it is that I was the “fat friend” for so long that people are just weirded out. Also none of my friends have had weight problems so they just don’t understand.

I’m just venting. And I hope I’m not alone. [/quote]

What do you mean they get annoyed? Is that actually happening or is it in your head?[/quote]
