Does anyone else have this problem...

[hlane]

or is it just me? I'm doing really good sticking to WW & have lost 26.2 lbs since 2/14/04. When I'm at home or around most people I feel good about my accomplishment, feel good about myself & I'm motivated to continue. But there are other people such as a couple co-workers, my babysitter, my SIL...people I just can't avoid, that make me feel like there is no use even trying, that I am an ogre & that I will never accomplish my goal. All of these people that bring out these feelings in me are sweet people but they are just tiny, petite (always have been) & I just feel so big being around them. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can change these feelings & thoughts? Am I weird or does anyone else notice this happening to them at times?

I know what you mean. I did use to feel like that, but now I've lost over a 100lbs suddenly I'm becoming one of those petite people! I'm only 5' 1" and when I get to my goal weight I will only weigh around 110lbs. I don't know what your goal weight is, or how much more you want to lose, but I know one thing hlane, you stick to your plan, and have faith in yourself that you can do this and pretty soon, you won't have these feelings because you will be at your goal weight! I have every faith that you can do this, losing over 26lbs is such a great accomplishment! You have every right to be proud of yourself.

I think we all have someone in our lives that make us feel that way. BUT always remember it is about YOU not THEM! The fact that you are making the effort, that you love yourself enough to make the change in yourself is what matters. You also have to keep yourself focused on why you are losing weight. Sometimes I get caught up in the "it's not enough" whine and then realize that I am not on a schedule I am slowly getting the weight off and every day is a winner for me because I am doing something.

Keep your eyes on the prize and soon you WILL be one of those people. You can do it!!
