I just had a co-worker point out how I allow the people in my life to treat me badly. My family is realy good to me but my so called friends and co-workers are mean and disrespectfull. Why would I do this. So im sitting here thinking does this happen because others have seen how I have treated myself. The jokes I make about being fat to break ice. Does that make others feel it is ok for them to do the same. I dont like it and im gonna change it. It starts with me!! however do I just stop contact and conversation with those who have been treating me bad or do I tell them and give a chance for it to change.
It cant be healthy or helpfull for me to have these people in my life aspecialy since its already hard to change old habits.

    It would be difficult to just stop having contact with co-workers...since you see them all the time...I say, just hold your head high, exercise, eat right and your confidence will shine thru...excuse yourself, if a conversation is negavite otherwise

    I would be right behind you on that one, iF people are treating you badly, it is usually because of how you are treating yourself. At the same time, it isn't right to treat others in any other way than how you would like to be treated.
    I would have to say stick your head up high, let others see that you are changing and don't let them get you down. :) You are beautiful on the inside and it will shine thru!

    You can politely say to them that it's enough, that you'd appreciate them stopping what they are doing and saying. Especially in a work environment, that should put an end to it immediately. If it continues, make an issue of it, stand up for yourself! I am so happy that you've turned this corner and are looking out for #1 and realizing how important you are! Congrats!

    Now, keep on yourself that you don't slide into the same old habit again, self depreciation is so easy to do, and hard to stop! You are awesome and can do this!!
