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’ve been all kinds of sizes.. many people think “ Anorexia” and the imagine of a thin sickly teenager comes to mind, but it’s so much more than that.
Your trying to change 2 big parts of your life .. smoking and food.
It’s easier to diet if you can have a smoke instead of a cupcake... Trade one for another kinda deal.
RS is with you because he loves you.
My advice is ... stop saying diet , it’s the fastest way to gain weight tbh.
Focus just on a healthier lifestyle but ease into it or your going to feel deprived all the time and then your going to beat yourself up and so the cycle continues.
Who am I to give advice about food ??? Because I have had a love/hate relationship with food from the age of 8-9 and it sucks.
Maybe tell RS you just want to start eating more “healthy foods” there’s nothing wrong with cheating here and there. Regardless of losing actual pounds your going to feel so much better. Go by how your clothes fit and not a number, that’s so depressing if it’s not moving fast enough.
A dietitian once told me “ have dessert once a week “ but just have 3 bites. 3 bites isn’t going to ruin a week of healthy choices, but it keeps you from be denied All. The. Time.
