Trouble keeping motivation.

Music4Ever1998

When I'm out, during school, I can hear people making awful comments about my weight. I feel like I've been doing good, staying under my calorie count, exercising, drinking lots of water, and I know I've lost a pound or two. But when I hear the comments it makes me doubt if I'm doing good or not. I could really use some help to continue.

hiya! I totally know what that's like! And you should be very proud of yourself for staying on track despite stupid people's comments. I know it's really hard and upsetting.

I know that it's easy for me to say 'don't let them get to you' but that isn't realistic.
You just have to realise that if they're the kind of people who are using your weight to put you down, their probably not the happiest people in the world. I struggle a lot with this but you have to remember that everyone's got something: you and me have our weight and self esteem, someone's got issues with academics, mental health, money, job security, family etc.

You're not alone. And every time they say something which hurts, just remember to comfort yourself instead of berating yourself even further. If you love yourself enough, they won't matter. Only your opinion of yourself matters.

Really hope that helped. xx

One of those "adages" that I try to keep in mind is "When people have negative things to say about you, you have two choices: prove them right or prove them wrong."

Even if those "people" are the voices in my head. You'll get there "one day." But you won't wake up "one day" and say "Oh wow! I'm here!" That "one day" will be the product of what you do, or fail to do, every day between now and then.

Prove them right. Or prove them wrong.
