Day 98 - Everybody has an opinion

So. I decided to "come out" with some friends about the diet. I have been keeping all a secret and avoiding human contact -except only when I absolutely need to do it- so no one sees me. 

BUT. 

I'm excited now. I want to tell the whole world, show pictures of me and let them know my achievements. 

Big Mistake. 

Everybody seems to have an opinion, and that's OK, I mean, they are entitled to it. But please, do not bring me down. 

I simply won't let you. 

I know, everybody has their own experience, and every body works in a different way. I am convinced this will be my last diet and I will not bounce back again. I will do anything in my power to keep all the 68 pounds off.

Still, everybody thinks they have the answer, and that´s not true. Ok, you can tell me your story and your experiences with diets, we have all been there, but don't tell me what I'm doing is wrong, dangerous and it wont work in long terms because you need to know all the story behind my diet. 

Don't get me wrong, she is a dearest friend who has also suffered with weigh problems, but still it made me -just a little mad- she didn't acknowledge my effort and diet.

AND SO. 

I told that same day another friend of mine just to take away the bitter taste. 
Her answer was "I'm scared of those things, be careful". 
No acknowledgement. 
Felt... I don't know, I guess I felt dissapointed I didn't get the results I was expecting by sharing this big huge important "secret". 

It's funny how you expect things from other people and all the cheering and congratulations I receive daily from the people surrounding me I just simply take it for granted. 

Memo to me: Be more selective to whom I tell things to AND be more grateful to the people that applauds me my effort and results.
