Telling People

I think telling people that you're trying to lose weight is a hard thing to do.  I appreciate the concern and happiness they share that the step has been taken.  The encouragement is wonderful too.  But there's this little voice inside my head that says, "Don't let them down."  Really?  What does my weight loss journey have to do with other people being let down.  I'm paying the bills for my food and meetings.  I'm cooking it and making responsible choices, yet the voice yelled out "Don't let them down." 

Guess what little voice, you're toast.  I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for me. See ya!
