Week 39 / Day 270
This week has been the closest I have been to throwing in the towel and giving up. I have faced many issues with my self esteem, finding a friend of mine joke about my image, refering it to a Jim Henson puppet, and realising that I have not recieved any positive comments from him on my efforts on loosing weight or the change in my image in a positive way. This unfortunately got to me this week and had the mindset of giving up and thinking 'whats the point of trying?', when I get comments like this.
Nearly everyday, I was overeating, not calorie counting as I usually do, binged on junk food, and had no motivation to do any exercise. I had also wanted to give up my other personal projects such as my 365 gratitude blogs and 100DoH challenge of walking 500km in 100 days.
During the week, I let out a cry for help to some Facebook friends and they sent me posts and comments with encouragement and pick me up messages, some jumping onto private messages chatting with me about the situation. This did indeed get me back on my feet.
It was only last night, I stumbled across some motivational and positive memes a friend of mine posted on Facebook which was a slap in the face. I was able to wake up this morning with a mission to get myself back together again and to find MY healthy balance, physically, mentally and emotionally.

What have I learnt from this? Many things! There are many who will want to bring you down, either due to jealousy or by feeling threatened by your achievements and cheaply attack your weak points to make themselves feel better. But there are many, many, many more people out there who will encourage you, inspire you, guide you and even walk along side you, helping you every step of the way. These are the people that matter and should shine, stand out, and feed you positivity.
For those who read this, I really do hope this is helping you and making you achieve that life you once dreamt of having become a reality. For those who read this and still judge and are prejudice, may karma come back to you and may your life be filled with other self centered people so that when you require help, you will realise the struggle that many others face which required your help.
