how are we all? i hope you are well.
today i attended this group workshop for women to help build confidence etc. and the counsellor who was talking to us shared with us a story about a life coach and what she had to say. it went a little bit like this.
lifecoach- * holds up $100 bill* who wants this $100?
(everyone puts their hands up)
lifecoach- *throws $100 bill onto ground and stamps on it* who still wants this $100?
(everyone puts their hands up)
lifecoach- *scrunches $100 bill up in hands* who stills wants this $100?
(everyone puts their hands up)
lifecoach- *spits on $100 bill* who STILL wants this $100
(everyone puts their hands up)
lifecoach- 'you see. no matter how much someone spits, stamps on, or tries to devalue this $100 bill. it is still worth its original value. it is the same with you women. noone can devalue your worth.
i almost cried when she shared this with us. it is so true. i think when you are overweight, you end up convincing yourself that you are not worthy, you are not beautiful, you are not valued... but you/we are. if there is someone in your life who makes you feel worthless or makes you feel that you aren't good enough- i strongly encourage you to get rid of them. no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it in the end. you CANNOT move forward or suceed in your weightloss journey if you have someone putting you down.
i once was interested in this guy, and we were almost about to start dating and then he said to me 'look i think you're really pretty. but i can't date you until you lose about 30kg' at the time i was really hurt and it broke my heart. but now i look back on it and think 'what a complete douchebag! i am so lucky he is no longer is my life. and now i am dating someone who loves me exactly as i am and only really supports my weight loss so that i can get pregnant. so there are good guys out there. sometimes you have to kiss a whole lot of toads to find your prince :).
love to you all,
