It really is about us deciding to take a stand for ourselves. Regardless of what people are saying around you, positive/negative/neutral, the change really won't come until we decide to make it. After that it's about sticking to our guns. Even now, when I go somewhere and I say, no, I don't want any bread or no to something fried, I get the whole - Why not? One won't hurt? You're already exercising so it doesn't matter. <br /><br />Not everyone gets it. Figuring out who you are really is important.

I have felt this same sentiment, only the people in my life were a lot meaner about it. I guess it doesn't matter if the sentiment is mean or nice, it still obstructs a person's growth process. As usual, your blog is awesome, including this post. :D<br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930371443550382.post-18657034487108082682013-02-21T16:05:39.084+00:002013-02-21T16:05:39.084+00:00IT's ok to blame, at first.

Your feelings are your feelings!

But I believe in the old adage 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.' A person isn't going to do anything about their excess weight until the time is right, in their own time, to do it. We all :: know :: that we are overweight. But each person as to reach the 'perfect time' / storm in their life before all the planets align and it's their own personal time to change it. Even then, we don't always get it right the first time.<br /><br />So while I understand what you are saying, and perhaps your family were 'enablers' for your obesity, even if they had been 180 degrees different, doesn't mean you would've started down the path to good health any sooner. Weird dichotomy, huh?Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.com
