Today has been a crazy day and while I recieived some bad news it hasn't been all bad because I have done some serious soul searching. I found out today that I was not selected for a job that I really wanted and while my first inclination was to grab the ice cream in the fridge and have a pity party, I did not do that. Instead, I cried, called my mom and then felt better. Rejection is hard but rejection is inevitable. That first cut though went pretty deep because it made me do a lot of thinking.
Weight loss is a lot like rejection. Just when you think you have it figured out, it changes and your body decides to reject something you thought you were doing right. Instead of giving up though, we have to fight through it. Life is going to have ups and downs and even if it seems like you are on the most twisted roller coaster of your life, you have to know that it will get better and the track will eventually get straighter. Before in my life when I have been rejected or heard something I didn't like I have given up. I didn't lose one week or I didn't work out as much as I wanted to or I heard something I didn't like from someone so I shut them out . It's unhealthy and it has to change. With life, with weight loss you have to just keep moving along. Something isn't going your way or you don't like the outcomes of your actions, change it. So while I am disappointed and the battle was lost I am not defeated. I am stronger and will come out a winner in the end.
