Sometimes you doubt yourself, get backhanded compliments from those around you and are constantly having your resolve tested by (unknowingly) negative friends/family members. Go on, just have one drink. Oh...have you lost weight? Yeah, but youre starving yourself, arent you? Even your own eyes playing tricks on you in the mirror. BUT... Imagine how youd feel if you fell off the wagon and reverted back to where you started. Imagine how youd feel if you gained back the dress size (or two) that you lost and someone said something like: Awww, you were doing so well. Ach well, it was never going to last, was it? Your face was getting awfully thin, you look healthier with the weight back on. At least you tried, thats better than nothing. Youd be heartbroken. Itd take months, maybe even years, to re-find the confidence and mental strength to even try again. Youd struggle daily within your own mind. Youre a failure. Youve got no will-power. These are truly harrowing and defeatist thoughts, but theyre also almost unavoidable in those circumstances. Whenever youre finding it hard to focus on the positives, think about the negatives. Think about being back at square 1. Think about your worst-case scenario. Rock bottom. Because those thoughts, feelings and emotions are significantly worse than any mental battle youll have within yourself when things are moving in the right direction.
