ah honey my heart really does reach out to you, Ive only had one person ever say a negative thing about my weight and appearance and sadly that person was my husband the one person that should have done the complete opposite, so I know that feeling and the despair that washes over you when you are trying so very hard and although doing it for yourself you just want that someone or anyone to recognize your struggle and be positive - its heart wrenching that so many women make it through their hard times not because they are motivated or encouraged but because they have no other option - failure and giving up in most aspects of life are unacceptable - so I hate to use anything similar to that terminology but......'having to' is the one thing that carried me through months I felt none of this was working and now its like a downhill snowball effect - every day I notice something different about myself and I make it a point to make myself recognize them and praise myself for even the smallest of victories. Get a routine - which Im sure you already have - and just go through the motions every day you feel like throwing in the towel just stick to your routine it adds some sense of normalcy, and like any motivational speaker will tell you it only takes 21 days to form a habit you are changing your life and doing a wonderful job at it!!!!
