- They say things like, "One cookie won't hurt you" or "You are starting to look too thin, as they hand you a brownie.
- They make a big deal whenever you choose to not eat something almost to the point of embarrassing you in front of others.
- They are the people that say they support you but tempt you to cheat "just this once."
Sometimes these can be people that you truly love that just don't even realized the effect that they can have on you. By spotting these people you can truly change the effect of your weight loss efforts for the good. The scariest Frenemy of them all is yourself though because you can't get away from you. Your mindset on loosing weight can be a huge roadblock in your weight loss success. Negative thinking can ruin you and your goals. Today my goal is to focus on one or two things that I really like about myself to keep myself positive during this plateau of weight loss and to be a friend...not a frenemy to all of you and most of all to myself. Muah!!!
Ahh you are all to correct about the frenemies!! It always seems in my world that these are either A)people who have never struggled with their weight/fitness levels or B)people who don't care at all about those things. It's truly difficult to balance a friendship with those people while being disciplined. I had an ex that was extremely disciplined when he wanted to be about his eating habits. He used to tell me to ask myself this "Is the 5 minutes of pleasure worth the countless (mins/hours/days/years) of frustration??" It's very true. So my goal this week shall be to ask myself this everytime I want to reach for something "bad". :-)
ReplyDeleteI promise to never ever be a frenemy to you! Even though I am the "burger and fries" girl! :)
