Don't Give Your Power To Someone Else!!

Many times I have felt like I have given my power to others without the other person even knowing it. My biggest struggle is, what people think about me. This is not something that happened over night and it will not be something that will be corrected in a day. There is years of residue that can sabotage even the best made plans.

Though I did well with my weight loss this week of 2.2lbs, I believe it would have been better, if I hadn't allowed people in my life to bring a distraction by second guessing who I am and what makes me happy. I had encountered a challenge with someone in my family that caused me questioned their true unconditional love for me. If I do what they want, they will keep in contact, if I do decide to do something they don't agree with, they back off and become a stranger again until they feel I have had enough isolation or the silent treatment. That's too much control to give to someone!!!! I sometimes feel like a puppet and someone is pulling all the strings of where to go, what to say, how to act, how to dress, how to look etc. You get the picture?

Well enough is enough of those strings pulling me every which way but where I want to go. It's time to cut the strings and get back on track where my health is concern! I realized that I have given this person so much power, that when they have upset me, it has been when I have eaten the most and stop caring what I have been focusing on for the last few weeks. So, the choice was to tell them they either accept me for who I am or cut them out of the equation all together.

Needless to say, they have chosen to let me be for now. Remember, don't give anyone so much power that you forget what your goal was and that means, a husband, a boyfriend, a mother, a father, a child, etc......you get the point. Get back on track and don't stop to look back!! Run, Run, Run until you can't run no more:) Until next week!!!
