Comfort eating...

GemFromJannah

So I got divorced, after my lovely ex husband cheated on me throughout our whole first year of marriage whilst I was pregnant. And at first I considered cuddling a box of chocolates and comfort eating (as I usually did to sweeten up sour moments in my life) But I figured instead, I was going to have a better body than the chic he was seeing, to show him how easy it is for somebody to look good, I can easily be pretty like her, that's nothing special, diet and exercise is all it takes. But he will come to know she could never have a heart like mine, good hearts don't steal husbands and damage other women! She will never be able to have my type of soul, because being a good person in this cruel world is a challenge that not everybody masters - then he will realise he lost a diamond for a bit of coal.

Since then I lost 2stone. And suddenly my motivation changed. I didn't give a damn about proving nothing to him! I didn't give a damn about matching up to her! Now it's about being the best me that I can be to prove to myself that my body deserves to be loved with healthy eating and not destroyed by junk food. Now I want my inner strength to shine through my outter strength and be toned and strong. Now I want to look in the mirror and say to myself "I love you" because loving myself is more important than anybody else loving me!

Use your hardships as a motivational tool to get started, then use your self-worth as a means to continue until you get to a place where you can honestly say you love yourself and are the best you that you can be! Don't let hardships make you turn to sugar for a buzz of joy, let exercise boost your happy hormones instead. Let your happiness come from stepping on the scale and seeing the number drop, taking you closer and closer to successfully reaching your goal, not a tub of ice-cream that will end in guilt and regret. Don't let anything or anybody destroy you, turn that negativity into positivity and turn that pain into power!

I don't think I'm alone in being somebody who had stress and pain tempt her into an unhealthy lifestyle, so I hope this has helped at least 1 other person who comfort eats!!
