Dealing with People's Unsolicited Advise
So at work yesterday, one of the volunteers complimented me on my progress, which was very nice. Then she asked me if I'm exercising and I told her I try to walk twice a week. She immediately proceeded to tell me that that wasn't enough and I was going to have loose skin. I engaged, which I shouldn't have. And I told her that I'm always so fatigued and I'm trying my best.
I have never been able to deal very well with unsolicited advise, but it just makes me so angry that she would even say something like that to me...
Or am I angry because she's right. I don't know what's wrong with me...why it's been so hard to get all the water in daily. Why I hate to exercise even tho' I PROMISED myself that with this new tool and drastic change (WLS) that I wouldn't "mess up" I would do things right. I would excercise, etc. I haven't done any of that... I'm so mad at myself.
It's been two months of overwhelming changes, but others still excercise...why don't I do that?
Okay, well I posted because now I do need advise. Anyone dealing with unsolicited advise? With not meeting expectations you set forth for youself? With not exercising?
Bleh....
