That 20 random people can tell you how great you look or can tell you are exercising a lot, etc...and then ONE person can come in and tell you "something negative" and all that positive feedback from the 20 people is now irrelevant because that ONE negative comment crushes your self esteem???

I hate that!!!!!

    I have learned to just think "F*%K IT" to the negative people/comments. I know Im working my butt off and that Im looking amazing so I say they can take their negativity somewhere else!

    With every pound I have lost I have gained a lot of confidence!

    Give us an excuse to beat ourselves up 'cause that's what we're used to doing.

    Ironically...right after I posted this thread, I received this below text from a Shop employee at my work who I talk to maybe 4 times a year....

    "By the way, you look real good. You should be proud of yourself. :)"

    Made my day!!!!

    I agree... and it always seems like the negative comments come from friends or family that you could REALLY use the support from. Ironically enough though, its the jealous people that don't have the motivation that have something negative to say. Forget 'em.

    tell me about it, everyone's been saying nice things, and really helping to motivate me, and then i walk up to the office upstairs last week and got to outside the door and could hear the other team all chatting about me having a gastric band fitted (which i haven't) and how i chose the easy way out and wouldn't know willpower if it bit me, they hadn't even seen me so i just walked in, slammed my paperwork down, and said sorry to dissapoint you guys, but i've had no surgery. and walked off, made me feel like S%*& though!

    Screw those mean people! You are awesome and doing so great! Don't let their negative jealous attitudes get you down.
