Today's a thrilling day because my weight and body fat percentage put me in some metrics' bucket of what is a fit woman over 50. This is my goal. Others say I'm oh so close. Either way, it's glorious. As many know, when one person in the family commits to fitness and mental wellness that is required to this kind of physical and emotional discipline, it challenges those around her. In most ways, it is positive, but we also experience the hostility we create in others when they recognize they aren't managing their own life as effectively. It makes them uncomfortable which often causes them to cast aspersions at the one making them uncomfortable. So many people find this too hard to endure while they are keeping to their own regimen. The ones we love most being critical of our amazing achievements. It takes the strength of knowing what one is doing is right to even hope for overcoming the subtle subversive attempts to sabotage (often not consciously inflicted) by others to bring one back down. Those are hard enough, but the point blank suggestion of one overdoing it precisely when she's getting close to the goal of wellness feels like those one loves most are shattering the foundation upon which her change was predicated. The good news is it is not the case. We are only in control of ourselves. Health and self care are basic acts of love toward oneself. No one has the right to rob us fo that. A clear vision of medical wellness and mental well being should be our beacon. Clinging to this vision like a lighthouse in whatever storm threatens our fitness, I believe we can endure. Others' discomfort with our wellness is their journey -- not ours. We can encourage them, love them, hear them out, but the difficult work of owning one's wellness is our job. As family or friends or both, it's hard work, but compared to what others endure, it's worth it. It's also not the degree of suffering so many others endure. Celebrate the wellness and goodness one's given and one earns. It will help in overcoming the hard moments.

Congrats on getting to those goals, and solidarity with support turning into judgement among family. I can't share any accomplishments without my grandmother fat-shaming herself and going on about how unhappy she is. But like you said, we aren't responsible for how others handle - or refuse to handle - their own health. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Excellent post - you have done so well! In addition to the effect of envy, I think we have ancient instincts that signal us to automatically think "something is wrong" when bodyweight goes down. It would of course be true if weight was not too high to begin with! So *sometimes* other people's negative response to one's slimmer appearance is coming from an unconscious place. I think we also have to beware of this instinct being activated in ourselves from our own weight loss. Despite wanting, needing and working towards weight loss it can feel weird and wrong to experience your body shrinking. That can be another source of self-sabotage.

So well written, thank you. This struggle against our dearest friends is not recognized enough, it certainly surprised me very much. Some doctor told me that when they see someone coming in with a thin body, they immediately think something is wrong. Congratulations on meeting your goals and absorbing some life's bad curved balls.

Thanks everyone. I pushed through and had two great workouts since this post as well as two days of calories that were fuel for my body. I've allowed myself 1 piece of candy for the taste but continue to enjoy discovering the many new yummy ways to nourish the machine that contains me. Yes, it is something I deal with the closer I get to my goal weight (which is at the high end of my height's fitness criteria. However, all I have to do is look at my son, and I see the beauty of living fit and well for as long as I can. Every day, it's a choice. Every day we start again. Hang strong, out there. I get so inspired by everyone here. Highs and lows are all helpful. The honesty and support is incredible.
