Interesting Day...
 

So i decide to start my diet today.. and i got down stairs lol there is cake cookies and garlic bread on the kitchen table ( i dont own the house so i cant remove them) all these things are not usally in the kitchen it threw me off and it is so hard now not to go down there and just eat it up lol and im very werid i dont like to let people know when im on a diet i wounder why that is..

i'm totally the same way. I haven't told ANY of my friends or coworkers that I'm trying to lose weight. But then when someone notices, it makes it that much more great cause you know they aren't just saying something cause they know you've been trying to lose weight and that they actually see it.

Actually, telling someone is a good strategy. It helps to keep us honest. ;)

I think the reasons that we don't tell someone is the fear of failure and we don't want anyone to know that we failed...At least thats why I don't tell.

sli i think you are right .. i think because ive told people in the past and there is no results yet that i dont want to look like a faliure in some way..

And that is why I have told EVERYONE this time. Almost so they can 'hold me too it.' I don't want to fail and have everyone know. So I told all my co-workers, family, everyone. And I bring it up once and while. It also helps when a co-workers goes hey! wanna go for lunch? Much easier to say no thanks, I am on a diet :) Makes me feel good!

I told everyone when I started my diet plan. Most were very positive. It did seem to help hold me more accountable. Good Luck
