This is very real. I am a foodaholic myself. It is a struggle every day.
I have always loved the quote, "Live only gives you what it knows you can handle" (paraphrased of course... the original quote I read was much more profound and eloquent..."
But you get the point. Life, the Universe, God... whomever-- will only give you challenges and struggles that you can handle. Every person is different, and every person can handle certain things in different ways... and by no means do any of us lack the character, willpower, or hope to persevere.
I believe scars, physical ones, are SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. And god they are so sexy on men.
First time reading this quote. New favorite.
I need to make one of these for everyone I know and love and care about.
This got me teary eyed. It is so true.
NEW DAY
I cannot lie to myself or my followers: I did so good on monday. But yesterday I just fucked up... royally. Got majorly depressed. Ate crappy theme park food, had ice cream, and fast food. I did walk around a lot but the amount that I ate does not compare. I don't know if I have ever stated this on my blog but I actually suffer from clinical depression. It is something that I have been struggling with for years and it runs in my family and well... it just makes things 10x harder when it comes to staying motivated and losing weight. I don't tell a lot of people this... not that I am embarrassed but more that I just don't like to flaunt it.. or get pity from people. But I am saying it here just to let anyone else suffering with the same issues know that they are not alone. Depression is hard, it is really hard. I know what it is like to just want to sleep forever, eat every bit of food in sight, and just sulk in sadness instead of getting up and doing something productive. I am working through it though and so can you. :-) Just keep your head up! We can get through anything as long as we stick together! If anyone ever needs someone to talk to please don't hesitate to message me! <3
I've reblogged this countless times but it never gets old.
Right now I am struggling, but I know through that I will achieve progress.
