I want to believe

I really appreciate the support from my friends and family. I wish that all of your support for me would translate into weight loss, but I realize that no one can lose weight for me. I have to do the work. Simple but true. Everyday I need to celebrate the steps I make in the right direction. I need to stop the negative self talk. It has to stop. Today I ate healthy for the first half of the day. True that it was only the first half of the day, but I will be grateful for that one step in the right direction. Someone posted this on Facebook the other day and it truly resonated with me. I don't believe in my own beauty, it doesn't matter what others say about me. Good or bad I have to believe I am beautiful just as I am. If I don't believe in myself I will never know true beauty.
