Everyone who has ever struggled with weight loss knows that there are haters all around them. We like to think that everyone is giving us a pat on the back and some inspiration but that is simply not true. Haters are all around and these are the people who like to discourage us from achieving our goal. These people either have a lack of confidence or they do not believe in us.
What I will say next will probably be of some shock to you but it is the truth: These "haters" are usually the people closest to us. Yep, just think about it for a second. Did someone come to mind? Chances are they are a coworker, a friend or even a close relative or family member. My haters come in the form of family members. I know it sounds ridiculous, but from experience, this is what i've noticed. Like i've said in a previous entry, i've been on a yo-yo for a while. Maybe it's all those times that i've gained back weight that makes them doubt me and send negativity my way? Fair enough I guess.
So what are some options on how to deal with this? Basically, the way I see it you've got 2 options. 1) Accept it, let it fester inside and eat you from the inside out, or 2) Turn that hate into MOTIVATION! I definitely prefer option number 2. Show them you can! Prove them wrong! Turn the negative words into positive actions!
Don't let it get you down. Haters will always exist. There will always be someone who will not believe in you, no matter what aspect of your life. It's up to you to deal with it in the right way. Who knows, maybe one day you will thank those people for saying all those negative comments because they will be the reason you stuck to your goal.
very well said ! I'm proud of you ;) keep up the good work!!
