Surround yourself with those who care … be selective who you chose to have in your corner. Even then, it’s OK to let them know what type of support you need … don’t assume they know what will and will not encourage you.
Only POSITIVE INFLUENCES allowed!
Avoid people with the same aim, who may be envious when changes are happening for you and not for them. The are likely to sabotage your success by:
*bringing over the candy for a night in
*insisting on dessert in the restaurant
*buying a large box of chocolates for your birthday
We all know someone like this! Step back … be aware of how others behave and wonder why they say and do the things they do.
Question the impact these actions have on your own life? It is then often easier to make the right decisions for yourself when you can see things from a distance. |

Who are you making these changes for? IT’S GOT TO BE FOR YOU!
OK, your partner, family, friends and work colleagues may be delighted with the new you … but it’s about what you feel inside that rubs off on those around you.
It is important to remember that ONLY YOU are responsible for the way you feel, other people can’t control your emotions, unless you take their comments on board and to heart. Chose to take control of your own life.
Every day may not be a good day, but that’s OK … as long as you
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up! |

You know what it’s like with some people, when we say we’re trying to slim, they watch our every move and you can almost hear them saying:
‘do you need that ice cream?’, ‘that pizza’s a bit big isn’t it?’, ‘did you get to the gym today?’ or ‘how much have you lost this week?’
This ‘passive aggressive’ attitude we DON’T NEED!
It’s totally negative and gives us no encouragement at all! So don’t put up with it – it’s important to let people know how you feel.
Other people may have a different way – the good old ‘back handed’ compliments:
‘you look so much better in that dress’ or ‘that outfit does wonders for your figure’. This also is ‘passive aggressive’, sometimes subtle … yet always an insult.
If the people around you are not supporting you – they do the opposite – hinder you.
If you recognise the above – then don’t tell them what you are doing with your life!
DO IT FOR YOURSELF, in your own way and time. Decide what you want to achieve and do it for yourself … otherwise there’s too much outside pressure.
Look out for the positive in people. It’s great to have positive, genuine support. |
