Loosing weight comes with many ups and downs. There are so many good things that come out of loosing weight. Your confidence is building, your learning to love and accept your body, and you start to really enjoy life! & what I mean by really enjoy life is, your not depressed all the time, your stepping out of your home and getting out in the world! Your not stuck in your room wishing you didn’t hate yourself & wish that you never have to walk by a mirror again. That’s how I was. I hated pictures, going out, eating in public was the worst! It just never thought that loosing weight and starting to work on myself would help me in anyway! Anytime my family would bring up my weight in the slightest way I would burst into tears. It got so bad that they just stopped commenting on my appearance little by little and would just compliment me all the time. Which isn’t the best way to handle anything in life either. Since loosing weight, I still have some lingering bad thoughts. I don’t think those thoughts will ever leave my mind. It’s hard to change that. Especially when you hear comments like “I never knew you were THAT BIG” or “you used to wear this BIG of a shirt?! Omg!” Or “your face used to be so big!!”. Comments like this aren’t meant to be taken as negative remarks, but it’s taken that way. I know that people mean well, and that they are trying to support me and my journey! It’s just those certain comments bring out those awful thoughts I had about myself. & it’s hard to not react that way. You just have to get to a certain mindset and let those comments roll off your back. It’s a day by day challenge we all face. You can’t let words hurt you anymore, you have to see that light at the end of the tunnel. It’s all about the journey, it’s about finding you! Your worth it! & you are more than those words. You chose to be happy, you chose to change your life & to BE HAPPY! Keep your head up, you can face anything!
