I’ve been through it. That relationship where someone takes everything from you that you feel like you’re worthless afterwords. It’s taken me a long time to convince myself I’m worth it again. So the last thing I want to do is surround myself with people who make me feel that way. . . . I love to be sarcastic, have friendly competition, and joke around. But in the end when it comes to my friends wellbeing, I want the best for them. Don’t get me wrong, if we’re playing a game of Monopoly, I want you to go bankrupt! But in life, I want you to be rich! . . . I need people in my life who want the same for me. On this weight loss journey, accomplishments should be celebrated. Not greeted with harmful sarcasm. I’ve had real harmful wishes thrown my way enough, I don’t need the fake ones too. So if you can’t do that for me, how can I do it for you? Again! Surround yourself with people who make you feel worthy of being your very best person you can be and don’t make you feel guilty for falling short when you’re not quite there yet but encourage and motivate you to keep growing! * * * #jsydsjourney #jsydspoetry #thestruggleisreal #writers_creed #writerscreed #writersfollowwriters #illustrans #teacup13 #lesstobemore #weightlossjourney #fatgirlproblems #worthyoflove #selflovefirst #poetryriot #poetryportal #blotchedpoems #thejourneyisthedestination #domesticviolencesurvivor #besupportive #dontbethatguy
