Day 29: Opening Up

I stood up today and announced to my co-workers (well, about 6 of them) that I lost 20 pounds.  I am so happy about the weight loss that I wanted to share it with the world.  However, I then started feeling a bit embarrassed.  Sure, I'm proud.  But does that mean I need to share it with my co-workers.  They probably don't really care - not to say that some do - but really?

This is not to say that I'm cowering in the corner really embarrassed by my statement.  But the question is, why do I feel the need to let everyone know about every single pound I lose.  That's really what this blog is for, to share both my trials and celebrations, so I don't have to stand on the street corner and shout it to anyone who will listen.

I suppose I need to ease up or I will become a total bore.  People will avoid me because all I can talk about is the diet or my craving for 'real' food.  I know I get bored when others drone on and on about the exact same topics - so why do I think I'm unique?

Okay.  Enough.  Time to move on, get off the negative and think about the positive.  Sometimes it's just nice to vent.
