Hmmm

So some strange but good things have happened today. First off I got in to GRAD SCHOOOL!!! In DC (my dream location) and I am so excited. Of course this brings along some stress as I figure out how I am gonna pay for it (to which my dad made it clear that hes not gonna help -- but he did help pay for undergrad so I can't complain) and prepare to move away from my family but its well worth it because I have committed to change and that just doesn't include my weight. So now for the strange...today my sister tells me thats she's worried about me and my "yo-yo" dieting. Um, excuse me? First off my sister has been thin her whole life and just recently gained a whooping FIFTEEN pounds in the last few months and now she thinks she's a fitness and nutrition guru. Now in my opinion "yo-yo" dieting would mean that I was gaining and losing the same 20 - 30 pounds over and over (which would be bad for my 5 foot 2 frame)in a small frame of time and cause my heart to work overtime. All I do is fluctuate between the same 5 pounds...she was trying to make it seem as if had some kind of disorder or something. And she never cared about me and my dieting before until she started trying to lose weight. Where have you been for the past 9 years??? She made it seem like I was an extreme because I would eat bad and then go to gym for an extra hour to work it off. So? I actually ENJOY exercise so if I go for 2 hours at the gym sometimes its not a punishment its something I ENJOY!! And I don't go for 2 hours everyday! I go 2 hours like once a week if that! Most time I go to the gym 4 times a week for 75 - 90 mins. Is that so awful? Whats wrong with wanting to go harder at the gym after you had a late night burrito to feel better? I am not exercising to the point of vomiting, dizziness, or extreme exertion. I don't understand how someone can try and make you feel bad about something your doing thats good? She said shes been in to fitness and nutrition for a while but shes never acted on it (she's a junk food junkie...or was anyways...now shes a vegetarian/vegan all of a sudden -- like within the last TWO weeks ) but I was still put off by her "concern". I didn't bite her head off or anything but I was really shocked. I could see if I really did have a problem but I don't and maybe she thinks I had an issue because I would always talk to her when I ate badly or she'd catch me on the way to the gym for a workout to make up for my slip up from the day before. And I seem to remember her chowing down on tons of awful food and not exercising at all and somehow me trying to eat better and exercise with the occasional slip up is "yo-yo" dieting? And even if I was I would have been yo-yo dieting for all of a month since we just started talking about weight (which we never did until SHE had weight problems) Sorry I just had to vent. I need to learn to stop letting what people say affect me so much...people will say one thing and I will obsess over it. I need to stop. At the end of the day I am living for me and I need to stop being so worried about what everyone else is saying and doing if its going to have a negative affect on me.
Thanks for listening :)
