I have only told my closest peeps (mum, boyfriend and bestfriend) that i am on TF...
I sort of feel dumb keeping it a secret and making up dumb reasons why i am eating garden salad for lunch (instead of the usual carby food)
but i dont want any attention... i never talk about my weight with people and i have never complained about being a chunky butt...
but i know as soon as its out that im trying to loose weight i will have to hear everyones comments or opinions about the subject and frankly i dont want to hear it...
Is anyone else keeping this a secret too?
I guess also if i dont tell anyone and i stuff this up then no-one is going to judge me....
Yup I havent told anyone except my Mum that I am on TF.....i live interstate from my family so want to surprise them....well its not going to happen by Christmas...but I am hoping after that, once I get into gear about doing TF 100% then hopefully it will all come off and I can WOW them all.
Plus I find when I have told people in the past, some feel threatened by the fact that I will be losing weight and I get people saying 'ohh lets go to Baskin Robbins'...or come around for dinner...and it will be all full of fatty carbs...I will start eating it and that friend would pull out a salad for herself. Just ends up being competition. Then i got others saying, oh you dont need to lose weight your okay.....ummm 100kg for someone thats around 5ft5 is not ok
Only 2 people know
I think if people knew they would be expecting me to lose weight and asking how much weight i've lost every time they see me!
People can know when i'm at my goal weight how I did it
Yep, i am. I kept i was giving up smoking a secret too -- took a while before anyone noticed, and my dad only just realised a couple of weeks ago that i wasnt smoking, i was like -- how unobservant are you, ive not smoked for over a year now duhhhhhhMy hubbys gone away for work, so i thought i would take the opportunity to take advantage of it, and just do something about my weight, so into tf i went lol I havent told anyone else, just the girls that are at home see the bags but they just assume they are chemist bags
yes the competition thing is another reason!
people tempt u with chocolate and takeaway!
and my prob is that i am 86kgs but tall and i hide it VERY WELL...
so even my bestfriend is like you dont need to u look fine! well i dont feel fine and people dont understand that...
so not telling anyone is easier to get thru it... i am dreading the weekend tho because i am meant to be having a big drunken night out!!!
i would love to go into hiding for a month and do TF ....
Hey beth, when you go on your night out, what about drinking shandys, and having water or sparkling water with lime etc in it (thats soda water) -- and make sure you do a lot of dancing - thats great exercise and will help burn off some of those extra calories
This is the biggest challenge that I am facing at the moment. I have only told my sister in law and hubby that I am doing this.Purely for the fact that my friends will tell me, 'you don't need to lose weight' etc. when I know that that is a load of crap. They then try and sabotage you by serving desserts, potatoes, pasta you name it. As far as I'm concerned if a friend does that and can't be supportive and encouraging rather than spiteful then they are not a true friend. I have talked to my consultant about this quite a bit over the last week - as it's going to be tough with christmas functions coming up etc. and eating out lots but ...WE CAN DO THIS!!
