Does anyone else get embarrassed by dieting? I am embarrassed to tell RS that I’m trying to do low carb and trying to lose weight. I am not sure why. I always have been embarrassed by it. I guess it comes from my disordered eating days when I thought I was fat at a very low weight and would diet (aka starve myself). If people noticed I wasn’t eating I would immediately get defensive. It’s like now that I am overweight and do need to lose weight I’m afraid people will judge me for it.
I don’t know. If I could just tell him I’m watching carbs id be able to be much more successful.

I can relate. When I was overweight I had a hard time admitting I was dieting. I'm not sure why it was so hard. I also wanted to crawl into a hole every time someone said 'have you been losing weight?'. I think it bothered me because it proved they also noticed when I weighed more. I didnt like people taking note of those aspects of myself.
I gained weight when I was pregnant and I decided afterward that I wanted to get back into my normal clothes as quickly as possible. I started weight watchers and dropped the weight quickly. I was breastfeeding and that helped too. For some reason it was easier to explain to people I was losing baby weight and I finally got over my issues. I kept going and got down 3 sizes smaller than my pre-baby self. I finally made it to a healthy BMI and I was proud of it. I've been able to maintain it ever since. The meds I am on now caused me to gain again so that's why I am working so hard to fight it. I cannot imagine going backward after finally getting over myself and allowing myself to transform into the size I wanted to be.
I think it helped that my husband always loved and accepted me no matter what I looked like. I suspect RS will do the same. Just go for it and tell him and allow him to encourage you and love you along the way. This is something you're doing for yourself and it will feel so much better if you can rip off the band aid and own it. I found that people are really encouraging and supportive of you're honest.
I love Sonic. I haven't been in years. I pretty much only drink water and coffee, but a cherry limeaid sounds totally awesome right now!
