Not brave enough to post in AIBU but this is weight related...
Want to lose 2 stone...I know exactly what I need to do. I eat very healthy meals, lots of fresh veg, cook from scratch, etc. But over the past two months or so I've plateaued mainly because I've been drinking wine, snacking and not running. That's the key for me and I know it. And I'm feeling pretty motivated now so ready to lose more (dropped a stone so far)...
My aunt just came round and it ended in a almighty row. She lost 4 stone a few years ago on WW, put it all back on and is now losing successfully on SW. I don't particularly want to go to a slimming class. I'm quite happy using MFP (and this is why I like running...I am a solitary creature!). I jokingly said I was 'Back on the slimming wagon' and she went apeshit, telling me I would fail and would just crave the things I denied myself.
Anyway, she blasted me for not going to SW (I am a teacher so any time I have in the evenings with kids is precious or I'd rather go for a run as its quick and effective for me). She said I was making excuses. Maybe, but I said that it felt like she was bullying me which is not particularly helpful. She then said I was just like my mum (who is obese and eats a lot of rubbish) and I was just ignorant. She wasn't going to bother helping me anymore and would let me kill myself!!
The fact that up til now have lost a stone and done two half marathons seemed to have escaped her notice! It's been slow but I'm certainly not ignorant of what I need to do to lose more. I just need to do it.
I'm just aghast. I told her very calmly that she can do it her way, I will do it mine. She, of all people, should understand that. And what on earth has it got to do with her anyway??
Just needed to tell someone. I also need some pithy responses. What do I say the next time she starts pontificating?
