You people disturb me.

Troll

and i mean that in the nicest way possible. Let me elaborate: i browse the boards and see too much self loathing/degrading. I see "im just destined to be big forever" on bad days, and we all have those...but then i look at profile pics....and the people saying that are not that big. So i want to put this out there; i dont care if you are 50lbs or 950lbs. I dont care if you eat nothing but cheeseburgers or nothing but lettuce. I dont care if you cant do a pushup on your knees or you just did 1000 without stopping. I want to shake every last one of you and say ladies you are beautiful and gentlemen you are handsome! And whatever your goal is, even on bad days, you CAN get there. if you have been put down due to weight, i apologize on behalf of the one who put you down. If you have people trying to sabotage your efforts, even without meaning to, i encourage you to tell them NO THANKS, IM IMPROVING MY PERFECTION. Too many of you wallow in self doubt and that bugs me because i know you ALL have something amazing about you. And if a message from a stranger can help you see that, i am glad. Dont ever give up on YOU, because theres one Troll that doesnt want you to.

Thank you!

Thank you and I completely concur! If a weak-willed, self-indulgent, older couch potato like me can pull of a 100 pound loss, there's success at the end of EVERYONE'S journey. Hang in there and keep being that positive!

VERY guilty of MUCH self-doubt!!!! Sorry to offend others with my self-doubt. When you hear so many negative things for so long you start to believe them. I have to overcome negativity in my journey and I realized that before I started. Negativity has been my defeat and I can't let it hinder me this time. Thanks for your post.

I think everyone has a little self doubt in them. I did not know if the radical planning on my diet would work or not. I tried the route of eating all my calories and actually gained. The only logical step was to cut back on fat and calories and see what happens.

I firmly believe everyone can become healthy if they put their mind and body to the task. You have to convince yourselves you are going to succeed. You will succeed if you believe in yourselves.

Awesome! I was like that most of my life, self doubt, negative self talk and I believed all the put downs I heard. No More!!! I have learned over the past year to be kind to myself and love me for the first time in my life. It's made all the difference in the world in the life change I am on!

Thank you! YOU are an AMAZING person! I am getting back to MFP after this summer pulled the rug out from under me- repeatedly... I will remember your words when I start to slip... because we are all beautiful! One of my main goals is not so much the 'weight' but to improve my health! Thank you!

Thanks. Very good post!:drinker:

infamousmk

Thanks for posting this!! The self-hatred hurts my heart. I see so many strong and beautiful people on MFP, and I want everyone to see in themselves what the rest of us see.

Just posted this on a different thread about an hour ago, but the best way to combat self-doubt is to fill your life with people like Troll! That kind of attitude is ENTHUSIASM and POSITIVE and both of these things are contagious. It's very hard to hang around someone like Troll and NOT feel good about yourself! You should print out that comment and read it to yourself several times a day. Get away from everyone, sit down, relax, breathe deeply, close your eyes and tell yourself all of the things written in that post! Do it on a regular basis and if your "friends" are not contributing to that positivity, get new friends. I mean it. This is your life and you deserve to enjoy it. Tell yourself YES, YES, YES, YES you can. Just smile and say yes over and over again to yourself. When you want to say anything else, make it a YES!!!! Accept yourself as you are right now, today, at whatever weight you are.....because the PERSON and SOUL inside is the same, no matter how much you weigh!!!

Surround yourself with happy, positive, enthusiastic people and before you know it, you'll feel so much better. I speak from experience because about 12 years ago, I made the change and it worked within days and then I slipped back, but I just started again a week ago and I feel SO MUCH better already!:flowerforyou:

"Thank you!" This automatically made me think of the song by Christina Agularia, "You are Beautiful!" (Sp)? Have an amazing day, for the rest of your life!! "Muah!"
