I have FINALLY lost 100 pounds! I am beyond excited.
YET this morning I hear these words…
"So and so has lost xx amount weight but they are doing it the hard way, not like you!”
UUUUGGGHHHHH!!
I am beyond peeved!
I am too polite to say anything to this person but boy oh boy did I want to!
Easy!?
Sure!
OK!
Yes I have taken the EASY way to lose weight!
Everyday I make decisions. Same as before! The ONLY difference is I have a tool.
It is STILL up to me to make the right decisions.
EASY!!? Hmph!
I do NOT care how one loses weight it is NEVER easy!
If I do not exercise…I don’t lose OR I GAIN!
If I over eat…I will not lose or again GAIN!
Oh and YES I can overeat! I may NOT be able to eat a lot at one time, but believe me I can STILL eat my way though a lot of food! Yep I have had a few bad days since July where old habits just came flooding back.
If I eat sugar or fried foods I will stall. Nope I CAN eat them! I have to make the choice NOT too…I do NOT get sick from them.
Easy?
Yeah OK!
Sure! Whatever!
Until next time….maybe…
Trish
so sorry you had to be told this...you are right no way is the easy way...It DOES all boil down to choices, mind set and attitude....I am still one of your biggest supporters AND cheerleaders! Remember as Les Brown says...Don't let someone elses opinion become your realty YOU know how hard you have worked for this and NO ONE can ever take that away....
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jules! Just remember, your opinion is really and truly the only one that counts! OH! AND HUGE CONGRATS ON BEING 100 POUNDS DOWN!
ReplyDeleteYou look great and are doing wonderful, do not let anyone tell you differently. I need to get your attitude. Doesn't it mean when someone says the "hard way" that person was sick and did not have choices that you are doing such a great job at? I am so glad I found your blog so I can start making better choices.
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Trish, first of all Congrats to you! You are amazing and I love reading about your journey, every post. You share the good and the bad and that is a good honest approach, a great way to fight the demons. So you keep that up and it will take you through. NOW let's talk about the "words." I don't usually get too riled up about things but I just need to add to your rant. *deep breath* so no one has ever said something like that to my face but I have experienced some other negative speak in my direction. So I'm not sure who said this to you but I pray it was not a family member or close friend. One thing that this weight loss journey brings to us is an eye opening experience of how people see our role in their life and how they value us. For me it was very eye opening. What I can tell you is whoever said this to you is not a happy person, not a person who has love and compassion in their heart. They are perhaps bitter about something that has nothing to do with you. I feel for people who can not find support and appreciation for someones accomplishments. Everyone is walking a different path. Acceptance is such such a virtue.
ReplyDeleteSo my friend, you lift your head up high and don't put too much trust in anything that comes from this person. They don't deserve your attention right now. Maybe someday they wil appreciate your strength and persistence. but for now steer clear you don't need their mojo in your life. You go surround yourself with those who love you and support your journey you need that NOW! PEACE
Nope. It's NOT. The peeps in the WLS community still have to make the right choices and stay disciplined. I know you know this already, but I'm just showing off my knowledge from watching those shows TLC that follows WLS peoples. I love those shows. hehe
ReplyDeleteYou are right Jules...I need to get the mindset straight!! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI know you are both right. =) Thank you!!
