This might seem strange to most of you, but during my day to day life, unless I remind myself, it becomes really easy to forget how overweight I am. I don’t inspect myself each day, and so I avoid any of the indicators that would lead me to deal with this problem. I have found myself to be a bit more depressed lately as I weigh myself daily.
Having my weight thrown in my face on a daily basis makes it hard to avoid the issue, and I still sometimes just want to run away from the fact that I am over weight.
Denial seems to be one of my biggest problems, and facing this weight loss challenge, feels more like climbing a sheer vertical wall, than a slowly rising mountain.
Even when I walk around the city and see someone extremely overweight, I feel like commenting in a negative tone, much like how I talk to my family about their smoking habit. I don’t immediately think to myself “look who’s talking”, and later when I reflect on what I thought, and wanted to say, I feel really bad, as I’ve had others make comments about my weight, and that is never helpful.
