Hey Everyone:
I sometimes get so frustrated with the whole weight lose experience. I know I need to lose the weight for my health and to look better, etc. but sometimes it is so frustrating because people can't see the effects immediately and thus can't see the effort that you are making to lose the weight.
Case in point, I am currently in college and when I go home my father constantly makes comments about my weight. I am making an effort and it is SO HARD but because the effects of it aren't immediate he can't see it and it bothers the crap out of me. I know that I should tell him to stop it and that now I am making an effort but he says that I have been saying that for years.
I don't know if I am making sense or just rambling... I just hate it! I hate that my whole discussion with my family is centered on my weight loss - or the fact that my mother thinks that if I just lose this weight that I'll be happy. I know better -- being skinny won't be a magic wand to a wonderful life. I have come to the conclusion that I might be midly depressed and I hope I can get help for that. I hate that people automatically assume if you look good on the outside than that means that everything is good on the inside.
I went on you tube to try to find motivation and just support from people who are going through the same struggles and found this really good video on someones else experience. I hope that I haven't broken any online rules by posting this video... anyway thanks for reading.
