So I went to a family birthday party and I didn't want to go but my mom said "It'll be fun come on " but it wasn't 😒 I'm obese at 200lb trying to get to 170 ,but I am going slow as aggressive cuts are not what I can manage with a job and studies .
So I'm sitting there minding my own business and this uncle of mine goes Loudly "hey man you putting alot of weight on "
Me: Yes I know .I'm trying to lose it .
Him : (repeats what he said ) yeah you need to lose it . Start jogging ,eating less ,no rice etc (telling me things I already knew )
Me: yep I know ,I'm going for daily walks 6-7k steps daily .
Him: (ignored what I said )Look at your dad ,he walks every day and he is fit .
Me: yep ,I'm trying the same .
So He completely ignored what I said and just told me things I knew and was applying .
Meanwhile everyone is looking at me during this exchange and I'm getting more uncomfortable and insecure ,finally someone distracted my uncle and they shifted to a new topic . I sat there for 2-3 minutes more and then pretended to go to loo .I went to the other room to sit with the kids ,they were too busy to notice me there .
Some of you kind folks explained to me in this group that it's a process and a lifestyle change and that is what I'm aiming for .Slow and steady progress the concept of marginal gains .
If it was as simple as not eating rice or fast food ,everyone would be ripped.as hell .People in my community do not take the mental and emotional aspect into account .
Anyway just wanted to vent .
Thanks for listening 🎧.
