I think this is exactly what this thread is about because that's an obstacle for you. I feel the same way as you. I feel like when I'm doing this I can't focus on anything else. I don't want it to be that way, but sometimes I just have to focus on me.
Another obstacle for me is my family. Even though my Mom, Sis, Niece, and I are on a weight loss challenge my Mom (the only one that lives in this state) always wants to go out to eat. She'll even say I'll pay for you.. Come on just go. It's so hard because that's how we grew up, that's how she showed us love. We never had enough food growing up, but whenever my dad got paid the little money they did have we would go out to eat and then the rest of the week we had nothing.. it was a terrible way to grow up because it still sticks with me to this day. This is going to be my biggest obstacle ever. One day at a time.
Good topic!!
