Hello all.
Well for about a week now I’ve been doing the weightwatchers points diet. So far I’ve done pretty well with losing 2lb. Which I’m most pleased about and I’m going to keep going. However there is one slight problem…
NO ONE HARDLY PRAISES/SUPPORTS ME AT ALL.
It’s mainly the parents what i’m poking the finger at and here’s why…
Ever since I was younger I was always bigger then the other girls. This didn’t bother me until I was about 12 and my mum started saying ‘lose some weight your getting to big’. At first it was bearable until these past few months I just couldnt take it anymore. All the time she is comparing me to other people saying ‘Your gonna be like that person’. Or she would tell me about her friends who were fat and say ‘It’s to late for her now’. She’s also been really cruel with me as well saying ‘You look like a tramp’ and ‘Don’t come into school looking like that and being that big. Lose some weight and maybe you can help at the school.’ This is when I offered to help her during the time I was free.
How can a parent say that to her child? Now there is ‘Cruel to be kind’ but she doe’s it in the worse way possible which doe’s not work. If she really wanted to help her she’d would say ‘hows the diet going?’ or ‘I’ll help you with making something’ but no it’s never like that is it? Also my dad’s on my case as well. Again never supports me…
At least Dan’s being a little supportive, but I wish he was a bit more though. Sometimes I think how can he love a obese girl?’ (My BMI is obese) but I guess you see them whats on the inside not the outside.
Also I’m annoyed with another thing, but it doesn’t matter.
Will write another one when I’ve calmed down.

Keep up the good work! Remember why you are doing Weight Watchers to begin with. The support of the people around you is certainly important when you are trying to stay healthy. When you feel a lack of support, look in the mirror and give yourself that boost you need.
If you want to give the men in your life some tips on support (and some other important issues), have them chack out http://www.HappyManOnline.com
Practice being mindful that you are not that 12 year old girl and you WILL determine your future and how you look.

Suuux.
Jesus, had my own parents said that to me I would have lamped them full pelt in the face (inb4 violence is not the answer, calling you a tramp and crap like that is way wayy too harsh.)
My BMI’s classed as overweight but I’m personally strictly against diets myself. I could be 150st and I would still refuse to do it, lol… As far as I see it if people can’t see me for what I am on the inside then screw them, they’re not worth my time. =|
Good luck with it anyways, ‘n I hope people start being a little more supportive of you. Ganbatte kudasai~
