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.
