Part of building up your weight loss plan, to me, is also ridding yourself of the negative thoughts that we, as people, sometimes let creep into our minds. Things like, "You'll never be able to lose...," or, "That dress won't look right, even if you did lose all that weight." We can be our own worst enemy sometimes...BUT, in rare instances, so can others around us. Not just negativity about our weight loss, but others can project just negativity, in general, on us.
Why is this coming up? Well, as none of you may know (lol), I've started dating again. Yes, throwing my hat back into the ring. I've been trying an online matchmaking service, and, let me tell you: this one, in particular, claims to have great success rates, but it ain't happening in my neck of the woods! I have found some of the most self-centered, stubborn men EVER on this site.
Recently, I went out with one gentlemen who questioned my religion as being Christianity and told me, in more ways than one, how "we" were not compatible. BUT, when I said simply said we weren't, he scoffed at it and stuttered over his words. Dude, I'm not 12...I can "take it like a man."
This may seem like one of the most random posts I have ever done on here, but, it all brings me to my final point: I left his place we he kept on going on with the negativity...I walked out on his negative words. I walk out (ignore) my own negative thoughts and words - or at least I attempt to. We do so much beating up of ourselves on a daily basis, we leave very little sometimes for our supervisors/bosses, siblings, parents, etc. So, "let up" on yourself every now and then, and try to leave the negativity at the door. Your livelihood will probably thank you for it :)
