I guess part of this life altering beginning also involves evaluating the people I surround myself with and whether or not they are supportive.

 

I read an article not too long ago that if you have fat friends, losing weight is going to be that much more difficult. Well, my best friend is also overweight and like me, she is trying to shed some pounds. The only problem is we are light years apart when it comes to motivation. Sometimes I can't even be around her because she'll start complaining, which I know I'm supposed to be there to support her, but what about supporting me? Usually I feel like my feelings are being dismissed.

 

Who knows. Maybe I'm the baby. But when she tells me that she's eating a cinnamon roll and granola bar for breakfast and in the second breath bitches about not being able to lose weight, I swear, I wanna scream! lol. :cry_smile:

Well at least she is not eating them in front of you. Maybe ask her how you can be supportive. Maybe you will luck out and she will ask you how she can support you.

Just do your best each and every day.

Good luck,

Amanda

Thank you for the comment, Amanda, and you're right. I need to do MY best. I had a bit of a heart to heart with her and we cleared the air and tossed around various ideas for support.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
