The truth is no one knows you like you and no one can tell you what each triumph in your journey means to you. Most folk are only privy to the \u201cright now\u201d moments of your life. They have no idea who you\u2019ve been, where you\u2019ve\u2019 been and what it\u2019s taken for you to Stand in the power of who you are right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been wonderful receiving all of the emails, photos and, kudos and encouragement after having lost 159 pounds. I know the days I wanted to quit, the heart pulling strength it took for me to get up time and time again. Pushing foods I love away, deciding to become disciplined, finding my power and center for the goals I\u2019ve attained and what challenges I\u2019ll meet next. What\u2019s been interesting is delving through the layers of hurt and reasoning it took to put the weight on in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong; some of us simply love food! They way it makes us feel, the gaps it closes the hurt it over lays and buries \u2013 food for a lot us is a healing agent in uncountable ways. Our days are structured around food, our mood, what we wear, where we go is all contingent upon our food schedule. Unbelievable for most but very true for me, I\u2019d become crippled by all kinds of life circumstances, disappointments, and even wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, food doesn\u2019t care what the situation is and like any other drug you\u2019ve succumb to it won\u2019t stop unless you tell it to. For a time you believe you can\u2019t survive without it, and it helps you believe that you can’t. For a time a rested in that belief, food was my champion and I it\u2019s slave. Breaking free only came because I truly saw the effects obesity had rained on several persons I hold dear to my heart. For this I\u2019m grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tear jerking moments seeing folks I love deteriorating, not from the food per se however the toll of carrying the weight, inducing high blood pressure<\/a>, poor kidney health<\/a>, heart conditions<\/a> etc, not to mention all of the pills the body has to now become accustomed to simply operate because of poor dieting and healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I encourage those of us on the weight loss journey<\/a> to live is our personal infallible truth that only you know what\u2019s driving you to make the shift, that one thing that keeps your heart moving toward the mark. Remember, not everyone knows the distances you\u2019ve traveled in your journey. A win from one person could be the complete opposite for the next person. They meet you today and you\u2019re 100 pounds down from 300 pounds but in their immediate sight isn\u2019t someone they\u2019ve watched run, fall, push, scrape and fight. But that doesn\u2019t mean that none of this has happened it simply means you can\u2019t find your light in their darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use the word darkness only because they have no light on where you\u2019ve been or what you\u2019ve done. They see the right now, its up to you to know the TRUTH and LIVE that. I\u2019m not suggesting that you carry a \u201cbefore and after\u201d picture around though I do for my personal reasons. What I\u2019m saying is that you cannot allow an outside influence to distract you, discourage you and pull you back. An uninformed being that in all honesty has been put in place just to see how much fight you got in you, a distraction. Stop listening and looking for outside validation on your journey to your new life, look in the mirror and know that you Did It! Of course compliments are nice and who doesn\u2019t want their accomplishments acknowledged? We all do. So no one is knocking that. But make that Goal Diary and every marker met your best encouragement. Make yourself the final say, besides; who are you doing this for anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every pound you lose will trigger some kind of thought, no different than a scent sparking a memory. When those past hurts come into play stand up and stomp them out. They no longer exist. When you shed those pounds you also shed your old way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re no longer alone, isolated and unworthy. You Are Enough and screw anyone who disagrees.<\/p>\n
