When I was 30lbs heavier, everyone was rooting for me. Everyone was so proud that I was putting forth the effort to lose weight, to exercise, to live a healthier life.
But I guess the tables have turned because now that I'm at a healthier weight, everyone eyes me with a look of concern on their face when I eat a damn salad.
"Are you only eating a salad? Shouldn't you eat something a little more filling? You're still hungry, right? What else have you eaten, today? Do you want dessert? Blabla..."
Wtf? When I ate a salad before, everyone was encouraging me and told me I made a good choice. Now that I'm healthier and still want to shave off a few more vanity pounds and maintain a healthier lifestyle, I'm apparently re-ed-ed. I mean, come ON. Am I not allowed to be healthy? Am I doomed to be overweight for the rest of my life just to keep those around me from worrying about me? What the heck? People stoop over my shoulder every single time I eat just to make sure I actually am eating. They watch me to make sure I don't rush to the bathroom to shove my fingers down my throat. Have I in the recent past? No. Do I look like I have an ED? Do I look emaciated? No. So leave me alooone!
You know what else frustrates me? I searched for "weight loss" on devArt, and all I came up with was emaciated girls lying on the floor covering their boobs with their hair and hands and larger girls with things written on their skin illustrating the fact that being skinny/thin is bad neutral I was very disappointed to see not but one positive result for it. What the heck's up with that? It's not good to be underweight, and it's not good to be overweight. Sure people need to love the skin their in (c), but that doesn't mean it's good to be either. No one needs to be virtually perfect. . . but it seems like most people are extreme, you know? People either look in disgust at larger people or they look in disgust at skinny people. Everyone just needs to find a happy medium! A happy HEALTHY medium! And just accept the fact that some of us really want to get to that happy HEALTHY medium! And that we're getting there through healthy means! Just because I'm at a healthy weight doesn't mean I'm eating too little or barfing everything I eat back up! I just want to be left alone in my happy world of healthier living!
Anyone else frustrated? :'D
