Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.  I don’t believe that phrase is true at all.  I think it should really go: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can also hurt me.

Sometimes in life when you are doing everything right there will always be people who come in and try to steal your joy.  To judge someone’s actions without knowing his or her heart is wrong.  Why are there so many people out there who eat their emotions?    
I think the reason is eating gives people short-term satisfaction.  It makes you feel better for a little bit and than in the end it hurts you emotionally and physically.  Whether you are depressed, angry, or hurting, when negativity creeps in, don’t let it take you!

I can’t control what others say to me or about me, but I can control how it impacts my life.  I know I can also be in control of what I put in and out of my body.  It’s just a choice and it’s up to me.  When trying to lose weight, there will always be obstacles in life that will try and throw you off from achieving your goals.  Keep pushing and through the obstacles and stresses of life you will reach your goal.
