Sooooo I've decided that after this challenge is finished I'm going to be stepping away from the scale more and weighing in less.
I've been skinny before and that's not what I'm going for this time around. I WANT TO BE STRONG😉💪
Strong requires me to keep lifting... lifting causes muscle gain and weight fluctuations and I refuse to let a damn number on a scale dictate how my day is gonna be. So once the 10% challenge is finished I'm going to seperate myself from the scale as much as possible... and if and when I weigh and see something unfavorable I'm gonna let it go from my mind. As long as I'm controlling my food and exercising everything will all even out in it's own time.
I'm in control of all things...
Mood, food, and movement!
That being said I would also like to ask others to keep their private message "help" about my weightloss to themselves. However well meaning you think it may be, I assure you it is anything but.
This is my life I'm fighting for here and I think I'm doing a pretty damn swell job at it, and every time someone messages me with their "help" about how I'm eating wrong or my exercise habits, etc, it makes me feel as if I'm being viewed as weak or failing at life, and I assure you I'm not, and quite frankly... it pisses me off! I'm not just trying to lose weight here... I'm doing so while fighting underlying eating disorder issues. That alone is no easy task.
Sure, I have had my slipups and backslides, but I've owned every one of them with dignity and honesty. I do not want or need input in my private messages from anyone on where they think I am going wrong, so please be respectful and keep it to yourself.
It's my life...my body...my journey and I want to proudly own every step I take on it. What matters to me is my actions, not your opinions on them.
If and when I ever require assistance of any kind, do not worry...I will be sure to let you know. It should be pretty evident by now that I'm a woman who is perfectly capable of speaking my mind. So don't go fretting over any percieved weight loss struggles you think I may be having. That energy will be better focused on yourself. Lol
Anyhoo I'm sure there are some here who feel I'm a jerk for writing this, but I felt it necessary for my own sanity. The private unsolicited advice section in here for me has gotten out of hand and is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. So if you're feeling some type of way about this post or me now so be it. Just as long as you save your "help" for those who are asking for it. I'm doing just fine!
*end rant*
Lol hope everyone has a magical day! 💗's

Love this! And screw stupid pm's. People have no respect for boundaries and don't realize that the vast majority of time unsolicited advice is not needed. I think you'll find the journey to strong a lot more satisfying as well. Because regardless of what the scale says, you are always progressing. Plus it's really fun to lift heavy things.

Love your rant. I think it's good for you to make these kinds of statements. You are a strong young person who knows how to get your needs satisfied. Some of the other folks here have never learned to ask for help, and when they finally do, will never listen to anyone anyway. I am inspired by your "eyes wide open" approach. Stay strong my friend, and know you have spotters all around. 👼🏻

Good stuff. I would be curious what is the ratio of men to women offering this advice. In any case, this is a good admonishment for me in general. I always want to go around fixing everybody. It is far more respectful to trust people to find their own path. You are right, if they think you have something to offer, they will ask you. But I have to say, and I know this is snarky, WTF is up with all these Taco Bell cravers? If I was starving in a Taco Bell parking lot, I would look around for edible weeds before I went inside. I used to buy a ten pack and eat eight of them, but nothing on their menu appeals to me anymore. I only love Chipotle.

Lol Ladyindenim it's about 50/50 ratio male female and it's almost daily I'm being told what I'm doing wrong or what I should be doing. So annoying, I'm not a child. See I think that's the thing... I'm on the upper east coast in Connecticut. We don't have Chipotle or any other chain here. It's Taco Bell or make your own, and Taco Bell doesn't dirty my kitchen. Lol

Great post - and I am surprised that you have been so inundated with "advice." Like Jimmie, I haven't experienced that but maybe it's because I am...a cat. Everyone who knows cats knows they aren't willing to take direction.

Well said Christinemeowk! You are right, it's your fight, it's your logic- in the end it's 100% you, our role is to applaud you or share a Kleenex with you - but the victory is all about you! Congrats my friend for becoming a powerful (and still super funny) person!!

Ahhh yes, the proverbial "help" you out messages. Just wait sweetie - you will still be here whittling yourself into a muscled Goddess, and the "helpers" will be long gone. Hang with YOUR plan and we will support you.
