Being on a diet is hard, not just because of the changes you have to make and the choices you have to make to stay on track. It is made much harder whenever you live with other people who are not dieting with you.
Michael, Parker and I go over to my father in law & step mother in law's house once a week for dinner. Well last night while we stood in the kitchen helping Tommy get everything ready for Belinda to cook, Michael made the comment that he was on a diet.
I would have been so happy to hear those words had they not been dripping with sarcasm. He was totally kidding around but he was complaining about the changes that I had been making. I have no idea where he was getting that from, I still cook the same foods, I just eat less of them or substitute something on my plate for something else. No changes to his meal what so ever.
So I of course defended myself telling Tommy that Michael was being a pill and that he was not on any diet. That there were no changes made to HIS meal plan. Tommy made me so happy when he looked Michael in the eye and said "you could stand to lose a few yourself son." I laughed so hard...it's true though.
I really hope that I can get Michael on board with this, I am not happy with my weight and I don't want to look or feel the way I do anymore. My journey would be much easier if he would just play along.
