To expect a well done from my dsis :(

[Mummytotwox]

So I have started my weight loss journey. I have currently lost 39lb since 27/12/13.

I have 143lb left to lose.

I have had so many people say well done, or like statuses I put on fb. Apart from my dsis. She hasn't said anything. Or liked anything, nothing. I'm actually quiet hurt.

She lost 2 stone by healthy eatting, I can not do this. I have been dieting all my life, I am addicted to food.

This is my final chance, I have never been so deteremend to do something in my life.

Sorry for my rant :(

Maybe she thinks the Cambridge diet is a bit of a cop out? It's not 'hard' in terms of effort and work.

If she lost her weight through diet and exercise without the shakes she may see the Cambridge diet as easy and a little grating?

Just carry on, and try and focus on how you feel about your achievements not the feelings of others towards your achievements

OP, you've done fantastically to start to address this problem, and I hope you go on to have lots of success and reach the weight you want to be. I've also lost a significant amount of weight (about 80 pounds and the last few still to go) and I know what courage it takes to set out to climb that mountain, especially if you have a history of addiction. Congratulations. What you're doing is brilliant.

I'm also firmly in the camp of hating it when anyone comments on my weight loss, and reading their comments as a judgement on how I was before. It makes me very self-conscious. On principle, I don't comment on anyone else's weight loss or gain unless they ask - I think it's deeply personal and none of my business.

There are all sorts of reasons your sister may not be commenting on your loss, as previous posters have said. She may also be embarrassed and not quite know what to say.

If your relationship with your sister is close, and it matters to you, then why not initiate the conversation with her yourself? Not in a 'why aren't you commenting' way, but let her know that her good opinion matters to you, and it would help you a lot if she would notice and comment sometimes. If your relationship with your sister is not sufficiently close and trusting to make such a conversation possible, then maybe you should focus on the really important person here - you - and remind yourself that you are on this difficult journey for the benefit of your health and your own self-esteem.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

Has she liked anything else of yours? Can you be sure that you show up in her newsfeed?

Just to say, the cambridge diet is probably worse than just cutting out sugar. And I mean ALL sugar, which will give you the same drastic weight loss you say you require for health reasons without the unhealthy side effects, plus you get to eat 'real food'.
The easiest way to find recipes etc. for it is to google 'candida diet.'
I did it for another reason and after 2 weeks of feeling shitty I lost 2 stone and felt great, 6 hours sleep a night feeling like I had 12 etc. It's just very difficult to stick to. But if you can stick to the Cambridge diet I can't see you having a problem with it.
May be something to think about for when you're done with the C-diet and eating again. V. welcome to DM me if you wanted some of the yummier recipes and good ways to keep feeling full etc.
Good luck, anyways!

Bloody hell MummyToTwox that is an amazing amount of weight! I think that it is fantastic that you are doing something positive about losing the extra weight. Make sure you stay healthy though. Don't be shy to ask for a check up or for advice from your doctor or from your local NHS nutritionist or dietician.

I would try not to worry about your sister. Maybe she has her reasons not to comment or maybe she has just not thought it needed doing. Who knows?? If you are close to her perhaps you could talk to her about it.

Good luck for the future, be careful and look after yourself.
