Hello hun
good advice from tranquility there
I too have done the 'scared' to eat in public, incase people are judging me, and being embarrased with my shopping at the checkout..didn't stop me buying it though and believing that every giggle was aimed at me..maybe it was? Its a horrible place to be and so soul destroying...i still worry about eating in public, despite being lighter and doing something about it...i still feel i'm being judged!..those strangers don't know i'm losing weight, and i'm still 'big' so they just assume i'm feeding my fat face!...the feeling has been there for so long, it will take a long time to disappear..but one day i am sure it will
Like me, you are assuming people just see you eating and buying...and think badly of you...BUT the majority don't care what we are doing/buying and know nothing about our lives....it's madness isn't it?
Like me, your self esteem is knocked and it makes us think the worst don't allow the negative things take over your life and way of thinking hun..carry on shopping and living like before, you have been doing so well..this dieting malarkey isn't easy and there will never be a magic switch to stop us craving goodies, its our own mind and the consequences that stops us wanting things that were really only habit in the first place.
if you feel you've had too much one day, allow for it the next hun...little changes make big differences
Good luck for the scales, i bet you haven't gained...IF you have, then next week it will be off! if its a sts, then as I just said on another thread, that blasted pointer will move next time..mark my words!
Fingers crossed for you lovey x
