Oh no!

First let's start off with the good news I'm down 2.4 pounds. Yippee!

Now for the "oh no!"  If you have spent anytime reading my blog I am pretty open about my weight.   Mind you I only have a handful of friends who know me in person who read this.   About two hours ago I posted my fitbit stats for the week to both my Facebook and Instagram.  I like to share my happy moments in the hopes it might motivate someone else.    (Btw I am still in the closet about my blog via Facebook).   I noticed someone liked my picture and realized that my weight was posted there for the world to see!  That's scary and embarrassing!   I immediately deleted it!  Feeling slightly relieved that it had only been up a couple for hours.   

Why is weight, such a taboo? and why does it have to be such a hot topic for everyone?   I should have just left the picture up and been proud of how far I have come but sadly I am still too vulnerable and afraid people will judge me.    Would you keep the picture up?

  1. When I was heavier, there was NO way you'd get me to admit to my weight. I think it's natural...we are SO judged by that number, no matter how insignificant it truly is, that we're pre-disposed to keep it quiet. Even now that I weigh much less than most people I know (because I'm not just healthy, but also tiny in stature), I don't share my weight often. Now, however, it's because people react negatively to how small the number is. And it's really NOT...not for me, at least!

    Have a GREAT week!!
