I was just thinking about support, and the people who you may live with.
Do you feel like the people in your household are giving you the support you need to help you stay on track and lose weight?
I live with my boyfriend, and at times I feel like if I had more support from him, than I may do a little bit better. I hate to say that, and seem like I put all the blame on him. It's WAY more my fault than his, but I just feel like if he gave me more encouragement, than I would do better.
When I start dieting, he always says, "Come on, lets go to (...fill in fast food restaurant name here...)!" I'll say no, and he'll keep badgering me, telling me that I can start my "diet" or "plan" tomorrow. I eventually give in, eat fast food, and never start my plan.
Also, I do not like when my bf watches me exercise in the house. I made our spare bedroom into an exercise room, and I just don't feel like I have the privacy that I need to get a good workout. When he hears me working out, he will walk in the room, and try to watch me, knowing that it makes me uncomfortable, and then I just quit because I get upset.
If he was supporting me, he would not encourage me to eat the fast food. He would encourage me to stay on track, and meet my goals. He would give me the privacy that I need to exercise.
I know I really need to work on saying "NO" to him. NO to the fast food. I just wish I had a little support from him to help me along.
So - do you feel like you are getting support at home??
