Self confidence

tybrummilehigh2016

I've lost about 15 pounds in the past month and half but for the longest time my self confidence has been so up and down. I let stress run my life. I have a lot to be thankful for, a beautiful wife and daughter but we are kinda stuck in a bad living situation and I'm starting a new job but I feel bad I can't do more for my family. My energy seems so limited, it affects my motivation to go to the gym or want to have more cheat days than normal. Just needing a nice pick me up or some encouragement. Thanks!

Hi and welcome, just remember to take one day at a time.

Growing up, my parents were separated from before I can even recall.

My dad came from a wealthy family. My mom never had a spare penny at the end of the week her entire life.

When I look back, who do you think I appreciate more and who did I learn most from? The man who had everything handed to him? Or the woman who fought tooth and nail to get us by & succeeded in helping me be the first person on both sides of our family to graduate university?

Just by wanting to be better, you're already more amazing than you know.

Love yourself for being the type of person who cares. When we love ourselves we make it easier for those around us to look at us the same way and we are more likely to be the people we want to be.

I wish you all the very best x
