Losing weight is one of the hardest things that a person can do (at least in my humble opinion). It takes dedication, willpower, determination, and support...lots of support from people who love the person involved in the weight loss plan. The last thing that I need on this weight loss journey, other than a donut, is someone who's not supportive or is negative.
Do I believe that every single person in my life needs to cheer me on and offer me support? Absolutely not! But I deeply appreciate those who do -- probably more than they'll ever know. From my friends at work who are holding me accountable and accompanying to weekly weigh-ins (Did I mention I'm involved in a weight loss challenge at work?), to my awesome boyfriend who has faith in me, I couldn't do this without them.
So, what is it that's so annoying to me right now? The negative people. The non-supportive ones who openly discuss their non-support. Those individuals who don't believe in me and say so. The person who took me to task for snacking on a small batch of popcorn today because she believed it wasn't healthy enough.
Who in the hell are they to decide what I can and cannot do? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that I'm ME and I'M the only one who truly can or cannot determine what is possible in my life.
To all of those negative jerks who are out there...well, I'd like to say something rude, but I'm taking the high road...at least for now. My mama taught me that I shouldn't say anything at all, if I can't say anything nice, so I'll just choose to shut my mouth and ignore you. My justice will be proving you wrong and dropping all of these pounds. And, for the record, I'm off to a good start and am SO looking forward to making you eat your words.
