Positive attitude

Jul 11, 2011

Hi boys and girls,
I thought I should post since the last time i was being a negative nelly and don't feel that way anymore. I have a tough couple of months at the beginning of the year. I felt very lost professionally, personally, and just emotionally drained. I am happy to report now that I have sucked it up and stopped whining :). Life it hard sometimes, as I have told a good friend of mine a time or two... you have to forgive yourself and get back on track, set limits on the negative things in your life and don't break through those. I forgot that for a bit but am back on track. 
During this little bout of negativity I allowed myself to eat poorly and forgot all that I had learned from this WL journey, gained 6 pounds and stopped working out regularly. Its funny how quickly all the confidence and self-esteem I worked so hard to gain went out the door and all I heard was that old voice telling me I am a failure and that I am going to gain all the weight back. That I didn't deserve a healthy normal life and that I should be fat and alone forever. I HATE that voice!  
I realized it was time for me to get myself back, and so after months of being lonely and feeling lost I made a few personal changes that helped me to remember what I want in life and that I can and will make it as long as I continue to fight.
OK so I just wanted to toss that out there for anyone who was worried about me or for those of you listening to that terrible voice in your head saying you cant and wont ever lose the weight or keep it off or have happiness. DON'T LISTEN!
That is all I have for now, except a heartfelt thanks to my special friend that never forgets me... even when I forget myself, has taken the time to tell me the things I need to hear... good and bad, and has a such sweet, giving, and loving soul... Thank you my friend you make me a better person. 
Till later my OH friends... stay strong
