Support

Support is a wonderful thing and the people here are great at providing it. But, that's because we are all semi-similar minded.

I have seen a lot of people very frustrated at those in their lives not sharing similar goals and sentiments or even understanding their struggle. (How horrible of them to bring food in the house that they find yummy. Don't they know of our struggle!?!) Unfortunately, we cannot expect others to bend to our unshared goals. And even if our immediate families do, there will always inevitably be someone we will encounter that will not. There will always be that well meaning person trying to hand us something we know we shouldn't eat, or telling us to not work out today or a range of things that we know are not right for us. We cannot expect people to bend to us. It's not fair otherwise, and just because our goals are righteous, we still cannot expect it here.

We ALL need to realize that the strength and the means to do this has to come within us. And WE ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
